    Between July 27 and August 6, if your iPhone was already on iOS 18.7.8, Software Update showed &quot;update to iOS 18.7.8&quot; and would install 26.5.2 instead. Several liquid glass haters who were intentionally avoiding iOS 26 got screwed 💀 https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1vfw3uk/psa_if_you_have_an_iphone_thats_currently_running/

    Attention liquid glass haters, if you&amp;#39;re still on iOS 18, you can still get the 18.7.3 security updates if you enable iOS 18 betas in software update settings.

    Apple released iOS 18.7.7 for all iPhones, fixing serious security issues. If you&amp;#39;re sticking to 18.x to avoid Liquid Glass you should install this update. This is not April Fools. (If you care about jailbreaking, then as usual don&amp;#39;t update, but maybe turn on Lockdown Mode...)

    I saved the entire Artemis II video stream (60GB, 230 hours, 1080p) if anyone wants it. Fire up your BitTorrent client and get this: https://data.nicolas17.xyz/NASA-ArtemisII-Live-Mission-Coverage-m3kR2KK8TEs.mkv.torrent

    In response to the DarkSword vulnerabilities, Apple released backported security fixes for several iOS versions. They also started sending push notifications to get users to update: &quot;Critical Security Update Needed: Apple is aware of attacks targeting out-of-date iOS software, including the version on your iPhone. Install this critical update to protect your iPhone.&quot; How does this notification work? Did they foresee the need to send security alerts and build that capability into iOS...

    For no good reason, I made my own concurrent queue in Rust using a mutex and a condvar, and used it instead of an mpsc channel. Once I got it to compile, it worked first try. I think I love Rust.
