I have been putting iPadOS 26 through its paces, and there are some really nice advancements that will make the iPad even more powerful than it already is today.
Any Mac (or Windows) user will appreciate the new menus at the top of the screen for the active app, and the ability to have multiple apps visible at once makes multi-tasking more useful. The ability to easily resize apps is also a great addition. I also like how iOS apps automatically open as windows instead of awkwardly filling the screen with a ton of empty space.
That reminds me, Apple, please enhance the Sports app for iPad. It makes no sense that it is an iOS-only app at this point.
If you have a non-essential, relatively recent iPad, give the iPadOS 26 Beta a try. I think you’ll like it!

Immigrants are literally the cooks in our kitchens. Perspective is important. We are all ultimately from somewhere else.
Let’s all remember that Andreesen is the product of a state-funded public university (University of Illinois), and his wealth is the byproduct of his work at National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the same university.
The U of I is a diverse and welcoming community and has been as long as I can remember. Andreesen has clearly been corrupted by his wealth and has forgotten from where he came.

Missouri voters, how does it make you feel that the same people you voted to represent you are now directly and blatantly overriding your will as a voter by repealing a law for which you as a whole voted in overwhelmingly numbers?
I cannot stress enough that it is so important to vote for the people that share your beliefs. Imagine a Missouri House and Senate where almost 60% of the representatives supported workers rights over businesses (who are not people no matter what the Supreme Court said). This state would be a much different place.

Let me direct you to the following quotation from the linked Washington Post article:
To offset the bill’s cost, Republicans proposed steep cuts to Medicaid, the state and federal health insurance program for low-income individuals and disabled people; and SNAP, the anti-hunger Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps.
Think about that for a moment. The Republican Party‘s best idea to offset the costs of this monstrosity of a bill is to directly hurt the most vulnerable in American society by impacting their ability to access healthcare and food. For most people I have come to know all over this planet, doing something like this would be a hard no.
Republican voters, this is not what you voted for, is it? You have more compassion and care for your neighbors than this, right?
