Manage episode 524193447 series 3603624
We examine how 26.2 restores stability after a shaky 26.0 launch, why that improvement should have shipped day one, and how design rules clash with everyday coherence. We also track how regulation in Japan, the EU, and Texas reshapes core features while pro tools and security patches make the update essential.
