World's Largest iPhone Maker Sparks Speculation With Rare Move
Hon Hai is Apple's largest manufacturing partner and is instrumental to the assembly of iPhones and other devices.Kate Plummer (Newsweek)
It's not so much that Liquid Glass looks bad, which it does, but that without a doubt in my mind there were people in every department saying, look, maybe we shouldn't ship an OS where you can't read the text. And yet here we are anyway.
I know, the readability ship left the port a few versions ago -- my larger point: it's not the look that stings the most, but knowing that the expert people who understand and genuinely care about the human interaction problems have either already left or aren't being listened to.
Obviously this is an industry-wide plague, but it's most noticeable with Apple because, damn it, they used to be the best in the world at this and it's all so unnecessarily self-inflicted.

Starmer v Starmer: why is the former human rights lawyer so cautious about defending human rights?
The long read: Given his career as a human rights barrister, it was hoped Keir Starmer would be the PM to restore the UK’s commitment to international law. The reality tells a different storyDaniel Trilling (The Guardian)
I think this is relevant, perhaps makes it a bit more than just Yanks shooting each other (sorry, but it's true.)
They don't want us getting hyped up over one of them getting taken out, do they?
Sucks for the Security guards though, what a mess things are....😔
