Liquid Glass made my 13 mini consistently lock up and overheat. Multiple reboots every day. Ludicrously slow screen repaints. It only stopped with the latest version (26.5).
Anecdotal evidence is not proof, and as I’ve seen two people in this thread saying the performance of their iPhone 13s improved after iOS 26, I don’t see how you could concretely attribute any of your issues to Liquid Glass specifically (especially since you say it has been resolved with 26.5 despite Liquid Glass still being present in the os).
Not 13 but 13 mini, and it was fine until iOS 26. The symptoms lessened in 26.4 and now seem to be gone. So maybe the "mini" display factor was not sufficiently tested before iOS 26 was released and... it ran into snags (to put it diplomatically).
It was srsly crazy stuff. Screen freeze for a minute, for two minutes, while the battery gets hot enough to cook an egg.
A gazillion-dollar company not throughly testing their software - who'da thunk it ?
A couple caveats. Doesn't support EC2 Macs, so you can't use this to build iOS apps. (Understandably. EC2 Macs are a pain to support and can't reasonably be scaled elastically due to a combination of Apple licensing restrictions and Mac hardware being totally unsuitable to the datacenter.) Also, this is a EU company which may be a problem for US-based customers.
I use uBO lite with Safari on macOS/iOS and maybe I just don't know what I'm (not?) missing, but it seems fine? I rarely see ads. Is uBO lite for Chrome that much worse than uBO?
You can do the same with GitHub Actions. Spin up a server and start the actions runner on it and done! But if you want to dynamically scale your runners in response to load using a Kubernetes cluster, then they provide Action Runner Controller and it's a bit more complicated.
For me it's my AirPods launching the Music app, something I rarely want. At the same time, it's one click in the menu bar to disable noTunes in the rare circumstances I want to use the Music app.
It's made worse by the fact that I use my AirPods across my personal devices and my work Mac, the latter of which I have to switch them to manually (since my work Mac is not on my personal iCloud account).
Anyway, however it happens, I often found the Music app launching on my personal and work Macs, and noTunes prevents it.
The NYT respects acronyms, but only up to four characters:
Why Nascar, Not NASCAR?
Auto racing fans chafe at our rules on acronyms. Here they are, from our stylebook:
acronyms. An acronym is a word formed from the first letter (or letters) of each word in a series: NATO from North Atlantic Treaty Organization; radar from radio detection and ranging. (Unless pronounced as a word, an abbreviation is not an acronym.) When an acronym serves as a proper name and exceeds four letters, capitalize only the first letter: Unesco; Unicef.
We limit the uppercasing to four letters because longer strings of capitals are distracting and tend to jump off the page.
Or at least, that used to be the rule. I can't find anything newer about their style on their site, but here's a recent article (not published under the Athletic either) that uses "NASCAR":
