On 26.1 there is a separate option for the transparency of glass elements only in settings->display and brightness->Liquid Glass->tinted

The “reduce transparency” accessibility option is much more aggressive than switching the glass style to “tinted”

Apple sure does know how to make intuitive UX!

*I’m told anything goes related requires a much larger reflector. This will be a “problem for later”

I’m also a saveitforparts fan haha. Hoping to get into some amateur satellite stuff “soon” (probably summer at the earlier) and maybe maybe eventually a NOAA port receiver? I’d like to receive and navigate the “level zero” GLM for fun.

$15 is a steal!

Is this an old Wineguard? I’ve seen various methods of hacking the az/el controls and I’m interested but haven’t had time to experiment

The best thing notre dame did was lose to us by 1

Bama is really good but I think BYU deserves it more. We’ll see if committee has SEC bias

texas better not get in or we’re all in trouble

I only ever TA’d an intro class so.. “grain of salt”, things were clearly “going away” long before they were deprecated (pylab comes to mind) and I tried to steer people away from using that.

utcnow removal still makes me angry because it was so widely used so I think that’s part of it too.

I haven’t watched a tOSU game since they played penn state but I remember thinking we at least had a chance to keep it close with them and MAYBE pull out a win if they made a mistake.

IU has always seemed a cut above and I think we have no chance against them.

It’s frustrating because you look at our schedule at the start of the year and it’s a tough schedule. We had no way of knowing LSU and mizzou would turn out to be frauds.

Having said that I think we are capable of beating anyone ranked 5ish or below. It’s a great team, tu just played us harder.
