The business goal is clear: visionOS. Liquid Glass is designed with AR in mind, that's the only place where it actually makes some sense. Pretty much the same thing as Microsoft did with Windows 8, trying to unify the UX and visual style across PCs and phones. And it's going similarly well.
What if we teach children how to navigate the real world, instead of the digital equivalent of "baby proofing the house"? You don't lock away the kitchen knives from a 12 year old, you teach them how to use them safely.
I am guessing you are on mobile and are referring to the togglebar 'demo mode', illustrating its existence.
I wish we didn't have that, but we have to. That demo of the theme togglebar exists to educate users, because we found that a lot of complaints came from people who were blind to the gear icon and were unaware that the control they wanted already existed. (Which is regrettable but understandable, because almost all websites provide useless controls or visual spam, in an example of 'why we can't have nice things'.)
Obviously, it's disabled on subsequent page loads. (One of a number of parts of the UI/UX we streamline using 'demo-mode', as we try to thread the Scylla & Charybdis of a cluttered but explicit UI vs a clean newbie-unfriendly UI.)
Oh but nowadays you have to access the old Control Panel only to access advanced options, like... setting the actions for lid close and power button, apparently.
Right now Google Antigravity has free Claude Opus 4.5, with pretty decent allowances.
I also use Github Copilot which is just $10/mo. I have to use the official copilot though, if I try to 'hack it' to work in Claude Code it burns thru all the credits too fast.
I am having a LOT of great luck using Minimax M2 in Claude Code, its very cheap, and it works so good.. its close to Sonnet in Claude Code. I use this tool called cc-switch to swap out different models for Claude Code.
Today we're praising Ruby for... having a version parsing utility in the standard library? Really? Many languages like Python, C#, even PHP have it too.
Ruby developers truly are a special breed. I once spent a few months in a Ruby company, so I'm speaking from experience. Debugging anything in Rails creates strong feelings, but I wouldn't describe them as "joy".
Which leads me to another piece of advice: don’t do B2C. Sell to businesses who will be far more willing to pay higher prices, will churn at a lower rate, and will - in general - require less support.
