Apple just added more frost to its Liquid Glass design

theverge.com Emma Roth 2026-03-01 11:31:21

Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language just got a little more… frosted. In the third iOS 26 developer beta, Apple dialed back the transparency of navigation bars, buttons, and tabs that once allowed you to clearly see the content beneath them. Apple already toned down the glassiness of Liquid Glass after many users complained that it was too transparent and made it more difficult to see certain options, like the icons inside the Control Center. This most recent beta makes Liquid Glass element

Samsung and Epic Games call a truce in app store lawsuit

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-01 21:10:14

Epic Games, buoyed by the massive success of Fortnite, has spent the last few years throwing elbows in the mobile industry to get its app store on more phones. It scored an antitrust win against Google in late 2023, and the following year it went after Samsung for deploying "Auto Blocker" on its Android phones, which would make it harder for users to install the Epic Games Store. Now, the parties have settled the case just days before Samsung will unveil its latest phones. The Epic Store drama

In Brief Fortnite maker Epic Games has settled its antitrust case against Samsung, according to a court filing. The case, filed last September, accused Samsung of working with Google to block rival app stores by default on Samsung phones. “We’re dismissing our court case against Samsung following the parties’ discussions,” Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said in a post on X. He added, “We are grateful that Samsung will address Epic’s concerns.” An Epic spokesperson declined further comment, pointing to

iOS 26 beta 3 dials back Liquid Glass

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2026-03-02 02:12:54

The iPhone’s new glassy look has been toned down with Monday’s release of the third developer beta of iOS 26. This follows user complaints that the update made parts of the user interface more difficult to read. At WWDC 2025 in June, the tech giant introduced its new design language, known as Liquid Glass, which is inspired by the optical qualities of glass in the real world, including how it refracts light and its translucent nature.

‘Squid Game’ VIP Actor Speaks Out on That Awful English Voiceover

Squid Game season three has been met with decidedly mixed reviews, with most fans rating it as the blockbuster hit’s weakest installment. That ending didn’t help things, but neither did the enhanced presence of the show’s most annoying characters: the billionaire VIPs who spectate the games from behind glass and gilded masks.

While I appreciate the more modern-looking interface on one hand, the number of sponsored content suggestions has steadily increased over the years to the point of frustration. Simply put, I find sponsored content unacceptable after paying a fair price for the underlying hardware. And unfortunately,

But far fewer will be aware of the 90% of Old English poetry that is not Beowulf. It’s a shame, because the back catalogue of Old English poetry — the deep cuts — are well worth reading.

Despite its status as a global tech hub, India lags far behind the likes of the US and China when it comes to homegrown AI. That gap has opened largely because India has chronically underinvested in R&D, institutions, and invention. Meanwhile, since no one native language is spoken by the majority of the population, training language models is far more complicated than it is elsewhere.
