I know this doesn't address all of the points you brought up, but I heavily use Multi-Account Containers[1] to isolate social, work, shopping, etc. It works well, for me. I don't miss Chrome profiles.

The permission request should probably be reworded to make that more clear.

If I have a video up in portrait, and tap on or pause the video to expose the UI elements that overlay the video (Chromecast, closed caption, and overflow buttons), they're all at the top of the phone. The Chromecast button is obscured by the notch and I cannot get the visible part to respond to taps.

The corner of the closed caption button is covered, and it's partially overlapping the radio signal indictators. There seems to be only a very small portion of the bottom edge of the button that responds to taps. It's very hard to tap successfully.

The overflow button is not obscured by the notch, but is partially overlapping the battery indicator. Like the closed caption button, there seems to be only a small portion of the bottom edge of it that will respond to taps.

It's so frustrating.

Here's a screenshot showing it, except for the notch which Apple doesn't include in screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/0KDIWEB.jpg

The notch covers the top half of the Chromecast button, and just touches the top-left corner of the closed caption button (the notch is curving back up, at that point).

I find the notch on my iPhone to be _incredibly_ annoying. It's by far the worst when in YouTube, where it covers a huge chunk of the video and UI elements when not full screened.

It would be annoying in something like a full-screen game, though. It's not uncommon for them to have important UI elements right at the top center.

I really like golang, and have used it for years. But I really dilike gomod. It's not uncommon for using it to be a frustrating experience. It makes me glad that most of my work these days is not in golang.

My favorite mustard is missing: Lusty Monk mustard[1]

I fully admit to first buying it because of the branding, but it is the best mustard I've ever had. It is pretty potent, so if you like a subtle mustard don't bother.

My first thought upon reading the headline: "Which one?"

It's out of date, but still an interesting read: https://www.justinobeirne.com/google-maps-moat

> Why is that even a metric for a browser UI?

Because they need to know where to focus their efforts.

I'm having similar difficulty on macOS.

Probably. But it depends greatly on what happened and how they handle it.

But at some point you'll _only_ be able to run ARM binaries. Rosetta2 will go away. Like how Rosetta went away for non-ARM Mac's, and now they can only run x86 binaries.

This is bad.

Those illuminated brand logos are so tacky. I hope the trend ends quickly, with a whimper.

> I really like the idea of setting your MX record to 127.0.0.1. I am not sure what problems this causes (the author mentions people are angry about it) but I like it.

I imagine it could cause annoying loops with some mail server configurations.

RFC 7505[1] defines null MX records. This might be a good alternative, depending on what your intention is.

> A Surface-branded Android phone wouldn't be out of the question, but my gut tells me it would die a quiet death from thin margins and differentiators that aren't big enough for people to get excited.

It's coming.
