Any ideas why I cannot find the settings on my wife's iPhone 12 mini? She has iOS 26. I wanted her to try it last week when we drove a lot to our vacation but did not find it anywhere in the Accessibility -> Motion settings.

I always see these kind of comments, that many sites don't work in Firefox while they do in Chrome. When I encounter a broken site I always also check it in Chrome but the times where it is actually a browser's fault is like once a year. Usually it is some blocking of cookies or something that I have enabled in Firefox. Even sites from Google which everyone seems to describe that they are specifically made to work only in Chrome I never had issues with.

I have never owned a touchscreen laptop and I agree with most of the criticism in comments here against it. But after just briefly using one from my father I have to say there is some thing in our brain that makes it kinda more satisfying, if that is the right word, to touch on things that appear on a screen. Even as a power user being used to just using keyboard most of the time, after 10 minutes with a touchscreen my mind prefers to touch on screen instead of touchpad.

I agree with your point about Google being more stable company then the rest so the decision probably makes sense. But there was a study done by multiple news companies in Czechia by asking about news topics and Gemini was consistently the worst in citations and straight up being incorrect (76% of its answers had "issues", I don't have exact issues specification).

I have used MAUI at my previous job to build 3 different apps, used only on mobile (Android and iOS). I don't know why many people dislike XAML, to me it felt natural to use it for UI, I researched flutter and liked MAUI/XAML more. Although the development loop felt smoother with flutter. What I didn't like was the constant bugs, with each new version that I was eager to update to fix current issues, something new appeared. After spending countless hours searching through the projects GitHub, I am under the impression that there aren't much resources dedicated to MAUI development from Microsoft, the project is carried forward by few employees and volunteers. If I would start another project I would seriously look into Avalonia. But I always was a backend guy so now at my current job I do server backend development in C# and couldn't be happier.

Did I really just waited couple of seconds on 2 different loading screens to see a small blog post that is more of an advertisement to some AI tool? Also the analogy of something that tries to stay as open as possible (self-hosting) needing its "iPhone" moment to be locked into single ecosystem doesn't really work for me.

Yes, this video and the one before called "An intuitive approach for understanding electricity" are absolutely great.

Holy moly, you must have very different life than most people I guess. I am from the younger generation which supposedly avoids making old-style phone calls as much as possible and I don't think I know anyone who has made less than 100 calls in the last decade.

I followed the same logic when deciding what kind of blinds control to choose building my house few weeks ago. Now I am in the planning of adding automation to it. Did you use Shelly Plus 2PM or are there any cheaper options to choose from (they seem to start at 30€ in my country shops)? Did they fit nicely in the wall switch socket?

Always though that's the stupidest way to play the Pokemon Go. Maybe it made a little bit of sense in the beginning when small villages had almost no content but even than you just missing most aspects which make this game interesting. I guess that's the time we live in.
