Do you like Liquid Glass on Mac?

You'd be surprised. Once the honeymoon phase with a new toy is over and you realize it's not that useful after all, it can disappear in a drawer forever quicker than they say Amen at church.

Been there.

And it's a particularly tricky product to get a preowned buyer for.

I see. Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering why my quote reply was deleted.

Not wishing to discount current discussions, it may be interesting to share examples of the direction Apple could have taken with Liquid Glass.

I’ll play devil’s advocate… I actually kinda like some aspects of Windows 11’s design. I think MS struck a good balance of ‘material’ and tinting.

I don't think someone would spend $3,500 on a headset, keep it, and not use it.

Then you haven't been paying attention. That's how most privately owned VR headsets end.

Totally legit take. Windows has gotten a lot more bearable, at least visually speaking. It's probably going to take a couple of dot releases for me to be able to accept LG. Hopefully, they'll make enough changes and fixes for me to get over it and "upgrade". I don't think I'll ever get over those window corners. I'm praying OS27 is a lot more grown-up.

You’re right. I’ve never paid attention in my life. Can’t believe I even noticed your reply! How much is a subscription to Headset Neglect Monthly so I can keep up?

Your reply isn’t about the point I made, it's just trying to make me sound clueless. Try writing something useful instead of indulging in being smug.

That sucks. I can't imagine spending thousands of dollars on something, even a toy, and just...letting it sit there. I guess reselling it is not possible? Or is the demand not there?

Windows 11 is...interesting. In terms of material, I agree that they seem to have a stronger handle on how they want materials to be presented. The transparency and motion effects are more subdued and less obvious. Honestly, it reminds me of the early Yosemite days in some ways. I think their reliance on business customers necessitated that they design the OS with non-high resolution screens and it works for the most part, but I find animations often stutter or are absent at times.

Even though Windows 11 tries to appear minimalist and 'simple' for a lack of a better word, it suffers from someone jamming a bunch of MS products and services in almost every area of the OS. Apple's not much better (iCloud, Music, and Health app promotions), but having to manually deselect and prevent 'suggestions' from various areas of the OS is annoying, particularly since Edge constantly makes itself the default upon every windows update.

More than the window corners, I think it's the ball park frank buttons and selections that are sending me.
