Is there a live text play-by-play so we don't have to watch a video like some pre-literate? ArsTechnica used to do one but I can't find it for this year.

#22Hopefully this new golden gate update is really the snow leopard everyone's been hoping for.. already exciting one can now (if only partially) disable liquid glass
While I may hold an unpopular opinion, I really enjoy using liquid glass. It really makes an information-rich screen seem less cluttered.

#23finally a snow leopard like release focused on performance and fixing user experience
My impression was that they're doubling down on that horrid Liquid glass.
Apparently there's a new fancy slider for making it more (but not completely) opaque? Did I miss an option for turning it off?

It's just being pitched this way by marketing and the C suite. If it were really a snow leopard release, someone should have informed the engineers they were supposed to be improving resiliency and fixing bugs, because this is news to them. cough

#25Apple very rarely admits mistakes. The fact they're rolling back some of the extremeness in Liquid Glass and actively mentioned in the keynote that they very seriously took the user feedback shows just how bad it was, at least initially.

Liquid Glass is fine for me since I put it in grayscale. I actually like it. I’m just talking about iOS though. Haven’t updated to Liquid (Gl)ass on macOS yet.
People talk about Liquid Glass as if it equal on all fronts. It's absolutely not. Apple knows which way their bread is buttered, that they can't mess up the iPhone. So Liquid Glass is fine on iOS. It's on Mac that it's a garbage fire of ridiculous design decisions.
Still the best OS around, but it looks like it was made by idiots.

#27I have to manually log in to Gmail and other emails accounts just to search it properly. Really glad to see some action on this
When I download a new app on iOS, I immediately disable searching it and disable background updates. I hate the search feature and only use it as an app launcher when I’m accidentally not on the App Library screen. On macOS, I also disable spotlight for everything because the indexing process has been the single biggest culprit of CPU spikes when it’s doing something insane like indexing a git repo. Again, I only use…
