Telco networks are sprawling and accurately defining the boundary might be harder than it sounds.

Traditionally they have a bias towards "working"/delivering traffic. It's easier to issue a refund than answer a urgent support request.

I can also imagine the biggest customers have all sorts of multi-vendor failover plans that may be affected.

I wonder if the next obvious attack - 2 pushes in rapid succession, one to show and one to hide - has been handled. The browser should debounce and replace the notification with a notice instead of hiding if it’s removed too quickly. Human time scales.

Also no mention of Firefox in the article ;(

Windows already does, so you’re talking about the BSDs or Darwin?

So:

1. Apple froze the Safari user agent in iOS 26 to be the same as iOS 18.6, so stats websites are reporting under-reporting.

AND

2. Apple is for some reason rolling out/'recommending'/'pushing' automatic updates in iOS 26 than in previous releases.

Yeah wow! Even most "trusted" contributors shouldn't have this level of access. Is there really no way of scoping tokens with more granularity?

I was thinking more for communicating the “mass disruption in progress” message - or even just distributing the manually verified “traffic lights down” data between vehicles.

I wonder if the cars also have some sort of mesh (LoRaWAN?) network to help each other out in temporary dead zones, emergencies, etc.

Would really benefit from some more technical details. I wonder if they rolled this out to client/Windows 11 first for some lower stakes testing.

Incredible that no one from Google noticed this as a regression from their side and either put a workaround in or contacted Wikimedia.
