Good design is a blend of form and functionality. Form without function is pointless. Function without form is bland. Your question focusses solely on function and ignores the fact that some of the Liquid Glass features simply look nice - such as concentrically matching the radius of elements to the corner radius of the physical screen.

There are also function changes if you care to look, such as shrinking tap bar elements while scrolling to focus on the screen content. Maybe not revolutionary, but small enhancements like this can add up to a more thoughtful user experience overall.

Trump has an irrational obsession with trade deficits. He simply can't comprehend why a country with 40 million people doesn't buy the same amount of stuff as a country with 340 million people. And even though Canadians on average spend over 7 times as much per capita on US goods compared to what Americans spend on Canadian goods, he insists that Canada is "ripping us off".

My wife and I have an ongoing argument over whether Trump is an evil genius who is just taking advantage of a gullible base, or an actual idiot who believes his own bullshit. I am firmly within the latter camp.

From what I've always been told, a license to sell booze is like a license to print money. Hard to feel sorry for these places.

In my case there was no in-person visits. They provide a list of steps you be followed. I donâ(TM)t think they care who does it.

The basis for this type of audit request is typically that the right to perform audits was buried somewhere in the software licensing agreement that the customer "agreed to". I know this is the case with Microsoft and other vendors. I've personally assisted with such audits. They are time-consuming, intrusive, and cast a pretty wide net. The audits are also usually done by a contracted 3rd-party, similar to how debt collection is contracted out. The last time I received notification for an audit, I simply ignored it. After a few attempts they stopped contacting. I suspect they're interested in low-hanging fruit, not getting into expensive legal actions.

I suspect it's to free up disk space for the Windows Recall feature that Microsoft is bringing back.

Stablecoins have their value pegged to fiat currency. That's why they're called stable. Its not about speculation, it's about an alternative to exchange mechanisms like VISA, Matercard, PayPal, etc.

What people want changes with age. Sex drive, for example, may wane significantly in old age.

It was called the address bar, and was used type a URL, not forcsearching. I guess after years of tech support trying to get people to type a URL in the address bar instead of the search field, some helpful person decided it would be good to combine them.

Additionally, Iâ(TM)m not sure Americans understand how much distrust Trump has fostered, not just through trade policy, but threatening the very sovereignty of our country. A large number of Canadians are avoiding US products, and choosing not to travel to the US.

Thank you. As a Canadian I find it aggravating that Trump is so obsessed with our trade deficit. USA has around 8 times the population of Canada. Why would we buy the same amount of goods from each other?

You can crunch the the numbers for yourself, using US Government data. Annually, Canadians buy $8,735 per capita in U.S. goods. Americans buy $1,213 per capita in Canadian goods. Yet Trump has the impudence to refer to this as "subsidizing Canada".

In theory, if the price rises high enough, it should incentivize other software vendors to develop competitive products. If Adobe's lead is so far ahead that nobody can ever catch up, then it's edging close to monopoly territory. Companies with so large an advantage have been subject to government intervention before.

They don't force anyone to buy their products. People do it voluntarily.

There's an old adage in sales that the value of a thing equals whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I completely agree that, for me, Adobe's prices are too high. But since many are willing to pay the price, I can't fault Adobe for extracting the market value.

Good luck with that. There are always going to be things for which an equally-good opensource alternative doesn't exist. And for commercial solutions, vendors invariably want recurring revenue. A similar annoyance - try to find a game for your smartphone that is ad-free and doesn't nag about in-app purchases. I would gladly pay upfront for that experience, but I think it no longer exists.
