On coding, tech, privacy, AI and whatever else comes to this mind.

Upgraded to iOS 26 beta 8 this morning. App Library search didn’t work. App banners in Safari glitch into the tab bar. In the window behind, the background in Mail app’s sidebar keeps flickering.

Hmm. Now my Apple Watch running watchOS beta 8 is stuck in sleep focus. Toggling the mode doesn’t work. Restarting it doesn’t work. Will probably have to wipe and reinstall it.

Left the Apple Watch on the charger for two days and it''s working again. I guess it just needed to catch up on its sleep. It was nice not having a screen in close reach all the time, especially when I'm out and about, though I do miss that 24/7 health data. Seriously considering a smart ring now...
