These are the Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 by Aditya Tiwari Apple has announced the latest operating system upgrade for its smartwatch lineup, called watchOS 26, not watchOS 12, as many expected a while ago. The Cupertino giant has unified the software experience across its platforms by introducing the "Liquid Glass" software design and renaming all the operating systems to version 26. That said, the next question is which Apple Watch models will support watchOS 26. Apple has shared the official list of devices: Apple Watch Ultra 2 Apple Watch Ultra Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Series 9 Apple Watch Series 8 Apple Watch Series 7 Apple Watch Series 6 Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation) The upcoming Apple Watch update brings several new features to your wrist. Liquid Glass design gives a fresh look to the UI with updated Control Center and translucent buttons within apps. It's new Workout Buddy feature can use an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone nearby to provide personalized, spoken motivation during workouts. Building on the Double Tap feature, you can now flick your wrist to perform actions like muting incoming calls, silencing timers, and dismissing notifications when your hands are full. It is available on Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 (or later). watchOS 26 is currently available for testing through the Apple Developer Program. It will roll out to general users during the fall season, when Apple is expected to refresh the Ultra and SE models. Note that your Apple Watch must be paired with an iPhone 11 (or later) or iPhone SE (2nd generation or later) running iOS 26. While the list of Apple Watch models that support watchOS 26 remains the same, it won't work with iPhone Xs/Xs Max and iPhone Xr, which were previously supported on watchOS 11. You can check out the respective lists of supported devices for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 Tahoe. -

Galaxy Z Fold7 to be the thinnest and lightest foldable from Samsung by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar A few days ago, Samsung shared an official teaser of their upcoming premium foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold7. Interestingly, the company titled the official post, "Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra," giving birth to a new rumor about a new "Ultra" foldable. The teaser highlighted Galaxy Z Fold7's tall and wide design, which previous rumors have suggested. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is also expected to come with a bigger display compared to the Galaxy Z Fold6. There were also rumors that Samsung could use a titanium backplate for improved durability and also make the device slim. Now, Samsung has shared a new teaser of the Galaxy Z Fold7 that adds a bit a weight to this rumor. Samsung has called the Galaxy Z Fold7 the "thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet." While the company didn't share any measurements or metrics that would define how thin or light the upcoming foldable is, the GIF shows the Galaxy Z Fold7 from the side (and it appears quite thin). Take a look for yourself: It would be safe to say that Samsung has been lacking in terms of making its foldable devices slim, even reducing the display crease. Though the company launched the Galaxy Z Fold6 Special Edition in China and Korea last year, which was their slimmest phone, it was nowhere near the likes of the OPPO Find N5. In terms of innovation as well, the company is far behind, and Chinese makers such as Huawei have already released the world's first triple-folding phone, the Mate XT. On the positive side, Samsung claimed that their "engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter, and more durable than the last," suggesting that the company could bring improvements with this year's foldable. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to launch next month, in New York, in the second Unpacked event of the year, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7. There are also rumors that the affordable version of the flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, could also launch at the event. -

I think Sequoia will be the last stop for my old 2012 Mac mini (with 16GB RAM & 512MB SSD). It runs Sonoma OK, so perhaps Sequoia will work well too. I don't have high hopes for Tahoe, however - that looks to be a GPU-intense OS. -

The blobby, bouncy UI effects seem like they would get old really fast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGztGfRujSE

Question

Sorry, forgot to say in the topic title that this is C#.
Let me explain what I want to do...
We all know that with Windows Vista brought a new UI font, Segoe UI, but XP still uses Tahoma as UI font. This doesn't help us programmers. I've searched in Google and what I found was to use SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont as the Form's font because all other controls Font properties will inherit from it.
Now, I could do this.font = SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont; before InitializeComponent(); on every single form I use but that will have 2 problems:
1) I'll have to repeat this line for every form.
2) The designer will not be updated accordingly.
If I moved this.font = SystemFonts.MessageBoxFont; into InitializeComponent() itself, then, the designer would be updated but I still would need to do it manually for every form.
My first solution:
Create a class (MyForm, for instance) that inherits from Form and change the properties I need in it's constructor. Then, every form I use in my application must be inherited from MyForm instead of Form. This is simpler than to place the line above in every InitializeComponent(), although, I still have to manually change every from to inherit from MyForm instead of Form.
To sum this up... I'm looking for a way (if possible) to change some default properties of Form without creating a new class that inherits from it, which allows me to make all the needed properties changes in one place and all my forms will still inherit from Form (as they are by default).
Is this possible?
