It seems pretty clear in the OP that headline is misleading—they do work, just not as well as he would like. I think that a 50% cut in light emission is pretty good—and you can stack that with the other interventions listed, like auto-dark mode and reducing light in your room.
I have a guess as to why this fix was delayed—on the release candidate, you weren't able to resize windows in Stickies. I filed a bug for it. This felt like a last-minute addition—the previous betas didn't have the 'fix.'
Let's think about why: if the width of the handle is based on the radius, and the radius is 0 for a window, there's nowhere for the grab handle to be.
I assume this wasn't the only app with fully square windows, and so the fix actually caused more problems. Respinning a release candidate is expensive, and they were out of time for this one. So the patch gets reverted and the fix gets iterated on for the next release, where they'll presumably figure something clean out that's conditional on exact window shape.
26.4 could be the spring hardware release or it could be the spring services release. I would give it a 2/3 chance of landing in 26.4, and a 1/3 of being moved to 26.5.
The other banks involved all agree that the remaining balances are with Evolve, and that there isn't money that's been moved somewhere else. If there was, Evolve might be willing to say where, which they've been unwilling to do so far–it's very "dog ate my homework."
Given that the depositors still have active DDA agreements with Evolve, even if they sent the money elsewhere, they still have a responsibility to provide it.

I didn't say otherwise. But Evolve doesn't know what money belongs to what individual customer, Synapse maintained that part of the ledger (poorly). So even though Evolve has the cash (it appears), they can't distribute it to you because they don't know how much is yours, and Synapse was such a cluster that they failed at their primary job.
The accounts were genuinely FDIC insured. Evolve is a real bank.
But a few months before the bankruptcy, Evolve pushed Synapse to move the money into non-FDIC insured brokerage accounts. As far as I can tell, this was:
- a way to move a hole in the balance sheet from an FDIC insured to an uninsured place
- completely illegal, insofar as the only user consent was a manual opt-out, and some users weren't even sent emails about the change.
Feedbin for sync and for email ingest. A key fact about this is that unlike Feedly and Newsblur, it keeps old content indefinitely. That means that if I don't check feeds for a while, or something is too heavy to read one month, I don't lose it forever.
iOS: Unread, which is just supremely beautiful. I'm amazed that the "double tap to mark read/unread" interaction isn't standard.
Mac: Reeder, which is nice and flexible though not perfect.
iFixit is charging $39 for an iPhone mini battery, or $25 for an iPhone SE battery. Paying $25-30 for half an hour of labor—on a $400-1200 device—every two years sounds… totally fine to me?

It is absolutely fine in US. When iPhone Battery Replacement parts isn't even a listed item on Amazon but only Replacement Kits. ( Likely due to whatever agreement they had with Apple ) And Labour cost are high. One may even borderline call Apple's pricing cheap in the US. And why Apple could claim in court they made no profits in their after sales repairing services .
If you live within the Valeriepieris circle, have retail access to slightly higher than BOM of battery. Things might look a little different.
Hopefully we will have Battery improvements in the next 10 years so most of these discussions will become non-issues.
Not when that labour is only required because of Apple's (and other manufacturers', but Apple was the first and worst to do this) malicious design in the first place.
Apple used to have removable batteries. Even when Steve Jobs came back to Apple, batteries were removable. Once Lithium-Ion batteries that can hold 70% of a charge after 1000 cycles appeared, Apple got rid of the user-swappable batteries. It’s not malicious, it’s a disagreement on what is acceptable.
Anecdotally speaking I've never known anyone to get rid of an iPhone because of battery life. Ever. I've known people to replace iPhones because of cracked screens, no longer getting iOS updates, running out of storage, or simply wanting some new feature but I've never known anyone to replace an iPhone because of the battery. They're simply too cheap and easy to replace. Honestly, call and make your appointment at iFixIt or the Apple Store, drop your phone off, come back an hour later and the battery is replaced - for under $50.
I suspect that of all the things burning the world, it's mostly oil and cars. iPhones are unusually useful, but they're not unusually resource intensive.
This doesn't prove that economics is wrong. It just proves that something like one of every two economists is wrong. This is not a hard problem to figure out the answer to by looking at historic data either. Read both sides closely, and if you're paying enough attention, you'll figure out which one is right pretty fast.
There are also plenty of people who are interested in people of two or more genders that you shouldn't erase. This is the kind of thing where, if you really can't figure out how to make it work with your current design, you seriously need to go back to the drawing board.
