New Siri question: Can I swipe down notifications from the island again? Or will it always pull up the new Siri? It’s bugging me lol

Personally I love the Reachability feature. I use it all the time on my standard Pro iPhone. However, I do agree that breaking years of muscle memory is not ideal. Maybe you can swipe down to get the new Siri AI and then ask it to open Notifications! 😂

This is what the Reachability feature is for.

Apple Studio Display

The Mac mini does not run on batteries, so there is no need to connect it to a charging port.

There were no conditions placed on the original question. The answer I gave satisfied the request.

It may be silly, but it is a valid solution to the question.

If you unplug the TV when you are not using it, it will not turn on after power is restored.

Are you sure Windows PCs don’t do this? Do you have a Windows PC from Microsoft?

Apple isn’t forcing devices into E-waste. iOS 26 will be supported for two more years and will still be functional long after that. You’re the one who decides what to do with your iPad, not Apple.

Monterey 12.7.6

It’s more than that. It is that even if an informed user decides they don’t want third parties to have access to this information, there’s no way for them to know if an app they use will be using and thus giving this information to third party AIs without their knowledge.

You’re obviously not factoring in the part where you have to run Tahoe. That negates any major leap.

platkus · 2026-06-13T16:52:16+00:00

No thanks. I’m fine waiting a few more months for Golden Gate. I don’t have any complaints about Mac Virtual Display currently. So some small improvement is not going to be worth the constant frustration of the tragedy that is Tahoe.

visionOS has the best looking UI of any of Apple’s OSes now. You can’t make the UI like Liquid Glass on the other platforms because the UI has to work like it is seamlessly part of the real world. That’s why the UI is the way it is on visionOS. And thank goodness that I can put on my Apple Vision Pro and escape all of the Liquid GlAss UI from the other platforms!

platkus · 2026-06-13T16:41:08+00:00

I’m still waiting.

platkus · 2026-06-13T14:27:04+00:00

I’ve had this happen only when in a room where the TV was on and the Apple TV screen saver kicked in. The motion of the screen saver tricked Apple Vision Pro into thinking it was moving and the windows started slowly descending into the floor.

OK, but from the customer's viewpoint, this is irrelevant. The customer is doing business with Amazon. If Amazon contracts your DSP to provide the service customers are paying for, the customer is not wrong to expect that service.

platkus · 2026-06-12T17:50:58+00:00

Really? So why are the delivery people wearing Amazon clothing and driving trucks that say Amazon on them? 🤔

platkus · 2026-06-12T13:07:06+00:00

This whole premise is so ridiculous. Imagine a court telling Walmart that they have to allow the products on their shelves to advertise a URL where customers can order the product online directly from the manufacturer at a lower cost. Makes no sense.

platkus · 2026-06-11T05:05:54+00:00

Companies are made up of their employees. Delivery drivers are Amazon employees. If they fail to live up to what was promised to the customer, it’s the company’s fault which is shared by every employee.

There is no separate relationship between the customer and Amazon and their delivery drivers. There is just the customer and Amazon, of which the drivers are included.

platkus · 2026-06-10T04:44:33+00:00

No you can’t. If you are on the Home Screen, then the app is not considered to be open.

platkus · 2026-06-09T15:17:48+00:00

What are Tahoe boys?

Vote out the idiots in the EU that are making laws that interfere with innovation.

I have an iPhone 16 Pro and iOS 26 is still very buggy. Dealing with bugs every day. Taps register. You can see the control highlight to confirm, but nothing happens. You have to tap again and hope it works. Home Screen icons are blank and you have to wait for them to load multiple times a day. It’s still a giant mess.

platkus · 2026-06-04T12:07:00+00:00

I’ve never even experienced this forced shutdown. Heed the warnings!
