Yes, I initially jumped from Android to iPhone back in 2019 or so because I felt like the experience was much more stable and it just worked, smooth, no issues, kinda boring but in a good adult way.
Now every interaction makes me want to throw the phone out the window.
If it’s not just blank, the keyboard doesn’t come up, the navbar in Safari sometimes is there, sometimes it’s a blank rectangle, etc. “ask your developer to update the apps to run well in iOS 26” is such a garbage response. We didn’t need to break everything just to have some glass simulations that make everything slower and add no value.
Google Home: holy shit dude. It was a mostly working thing. Absolutely unusable with Gemini. Will get the transcript right 15% of the time. Can’t even ask for the weather.
Roku: Netflix playing in the background but I’m still in the main menu.
You’re getting in an ambulance, not calling a cab. You’re probably unconscious, maybe at least disoriented, overwhelmed, concerned about what’s happening more than doing math. Also you’re there on the floor bleeding, what’s your alternative? “Nah don’t worry, I’ll figure out this exposed fracture in the uber, I got points with them so it’s cheaper”?
Even with insurance all these companies will fight with each other to find excuses to say it’s not their responsibility and send you letters non stop saying things like “oh you paid for the van, I’m just the nurse, it’s separate” or “oh yeah you paid for the hallway in the hospital but the ct scan person is a contractor, you owe them 3k”. System could not be more broken
Yeah my mom got billed 9k a few months ago from SFO to one of the south sf hospitals. Neck brace and supervision was all that was needed. Basically an expensive uber ride.
I think this should be a show HN? But if not a few things anyway. Your comments show as dead, just so you know. Idk why.
Your website is unusable in my phone, crawls to a stop, maybe something in the complex background if rendered? Idk.
I’m interested but can’t find out more info because of this lol.
How much of why glam 5.2 is good today is due to open source contributions? Is the two-way-street-ness of it already pushing it to be better or so far it’s mostly a nice to have?
Would help to know what fields you’re interested in or what problems you want to solve. No one is going to have much consistency or accountability working on things they don’t care about
Even if objectively one could agree that currently the products from china are better than the US ones, all the “China so good now” stuff is starting to sound like straight up in your face propaganda.
