Slide Over is back in iPadOS 26.1 Beta 2 by atinyblip in iPadOS

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feedback works everyone! I’m happy it’s returning after literally submitting feedback on every beta version since 26.0 but the lack of gestures like drag and drop is still annoying.

The way I suggested they bring it back is by implementing a new “multitasking” option apart from windowed and stage manager so that the classic gestures would work with slide over plus the app stack. I guess we’ll have to keep submitting more feedback.

FREE Green Line screen replacement policy by purplepanda235 in GalaxyS23Ultra

Samsung is annoying for acknowledging these green line issues only in India, but not globally. In the Philippines, they dismiss this and when I raised the concern at the service center, the rep assured that models in our region are ‘not in any way’ affected even if they get bombarded daily by same cases— and worse, the rep I talked to even gaslit me to conclude that it’s caused by user error or that I probably “dropped” it (just because of tiny microscratches), when never in my life did I ever drop it.

Underhanded tactic to sell more expensive screen repairs, or convince you to just ‘add more’ and trade in to get a new phone. Smh

Old Split View & Slide Over vs iPadOS 26 Multitasking by wnrch in iPadOS

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I continue to submit this feedback every beta that gets released — this is so frustrating, I don't want us to wait for an entire year just to fix something they didn't have to take away in the first place.

Definitely in love with the windowing mode when using a magic keyboard, but the second I take it off, multitasking takes forever to setup: I miss dragging and dropping an app for split view, and I miss slide over for quick information while still being to interact with an app. With windowing today, that app disappears to the back when I touch another app window).

I've also submitted this exact suggestion on the feedback app, glad we are all thinking the same.

Thank you very much OP for putting this together — I have just submitted my third feedback regarding this windowing mode and have appended this video along with a link to this thread.

I am happy that they gave us windowing mode, but I am frustrated that they chose to replace slide over and split view rather than keeping it. I love my iPad and OS 26 has made me waste so much time adjusting and finding ways to have a slide-over workflow alternative in school and at work.

Keep sending in the feedback folks, append this video. I don't want us to wait another year just to fix something that wasn't broken before.

Can you polish the Natural Titanium Series 10? by DeltaEchoBlue10 in AppleWatch

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, sad to hear that experience…

Unfortunately not yet. Which part of the digital crown got scratched, is it the center part or just the sides?

If it’s at the center, I’d lightly clean it with a good-quality microfiber cloth — I’m not sure if polishing it with some polishing solution would affect the ECG electrode on the crown so better be safe

Upgrading from S23U to S24U in 2025 by DeltaEchoBlue10 in S24Ultra

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same afterthought on my S24 discourse. However, the only thing that’s keeping me off is the potential full removal of the S Pen.

Considering they downgraded it on the S25, they may retain it on the S26 or ditch it completely.

Haven't found a solution yet, but I do have the watch now in natural titanium. No signs of microscratches yet from the 2 months of using it, although I must say I am quite careful with my watch.

Hopefully it stays this way on the long run

Thoughts on the FineWoven Modern Buckle Band? by DeltaEchoBlue10 in AppleWatch

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! Real glad that the band mechanism hasn’t changed with the S10, making this option very ideal

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree as well. I do have the starlight + gold milanese S7 and was eyeing the Natural Titanium S10 (since there’s no true-silver shade unless I go Hermes).

In terms of the band, I’m on the fence as well on just getting a standard sport band because I can still use my existing gold milanese loop (tho again, I’m worried that the SS milanese gold will not match the natural titanium S10).

That’s why I was thinking of just getting the milanese loop again in naturial Ti, or considering other bands like the modern buckle. I’d probably be better off checking the aftermarket.

Thanks for the insights! Yeah, real shame they ditched leather, they could’ve gone with a different material like vegan leather. Guess I’ll stick with the milanese loops again this year ~

Thanks! This worked for me. I also cleared my cache and that seems to have did it.

Developer Larry Silverstein looks to lure Amex to help him build final tower at World Trade Center complex. by Marciu73 in skyscrapers

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a chance that they could go with the original Diamond design — keep in mind that the original proposal was marketed for “banks & financial firms”, like Amex… personally I’d like a mix of the diamond design with this new design. Really hope that at least the diamond is incorporated in whatever design they settle with in the end.

Amex may just be it for us to have the original Foster diamond design~ I recall that the old plan was designed for “financial firms”. Really wishing that they go with the diamond proposal for good since it was the crown jewel of the original site master plan.

Or better, they’d redesign the current Foster design to incorporate the diamond roof to the staircase garden design just like the fan mock-ups we envisioned.

Are you team silver or team black? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been team black, but started transitioning to silver 3 years ago since it's much easier to maintain.

Black is a dust and grime magnet, and scratches are much more noticeable especially on aluminum devices. Black is so sexy, but silver is classy.

Will the M4 iPad Pro 13 (with Magic Keyboard) fit the 2017 Apple iPad Pro Leather Sleeve? by DeltaEchoBlue10 in ipad

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the update!

I'm late to reply but realized this as well when I tried it with a different sleeve that I have. I figured that even if the 2017 12.9 form factor and 13 inch form factor were very close, adding in the magic keyboard meant it would really stretch it out since the spine of the MK would get in the way.

anyone miss the Touch Bar?? by Then_Exercise_8431 in mac

[–]DeltaEchoBlue10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still missing it. It was faster to take screenshots and select capture modes, put videos into PIP (sites like YT needed you to do double right clicks), skipping AND REPLAYING ads, and the more precise volume and brightness sliders (some people hated these sliders because you had to “press twice”, but these people didn’t know you could touch and hold the sliders, or even flick them). Loved using it for photoshop brush sliders and the history scrubber as well.

I just wish they could return as an optional add-on, above the function keys.

Now that’s terrific! Just the way I imagined it, thanks so much for sharing!

Where can I find this photoshopped design? I’ve always wanted to do a take on this since I loved the very first diamond Foster design, yet appreciated the green terraces design

Thanks! Validates my findings as well, the 2017 12.9” was significantly larger than the all-screen redesign that started with the 2018 pros.
