Minecraft’s Vibrant Visuals update now looks better than ever, and water is next in line for an upgrade

Minecraft's recent update, Vibrant Visuals, introduced over 3,000 new textures, refined shadows, and improved water reflections, enhancing the game's visual experience. The update aims to create an immersive environment by subtly integrating changes such as consistent sky visuals during rain and improved lighting transitions. Adjustments to gamma calibration have clarified shadows, and future updates will include tweaks to water colors in different biomes. The upcoming Mounts of Mayhem expansion will simplify underwater exploration with a new nautilus mount.

Android Auto bugs causing broken Spotify controls, washed out display for some

Recent reports from Android Auto users indicate issues with a washed-out display and problems with the Spotify app. Users have noted a blank widget on the Android Auto dashboard that displays a “Tap to Open” message instead of the currently playing track, while in-car controls like skip buttons are unresponsive. This issue began in July after a Spotify update introducing “Jam” support and is particularly affecting Subaru Forester drivers. Additionally, users report displays appearing washed out, with black areas showing as gray. The cause of these issues is unclear, and users are encouraged to share their experiences.

macOS 26 Tahoe vs Windows Vista: Who did glass better?

Apple announced a visual redesign called Liquid Glass, set to debut with macOS 26 Tahoe. This design features transparency effects in context and dropdown menus, system controls, and the Control Center, where elements exhibit a glass-like quality. The dock allows icons to have varying translucency, with options for classic, dark, clear, or tinted versions. However, some inconsistencies exist in the beta version, such as tinted icons lacking transparency. The glass effects are present in many of Apple's apps, with navigation panes on a glass-like surface and floating menu buttons that are translucent. In comparison, Windows Vista's Aero Glass was noted for its impactful use of transparency in title bars and window borders, creating a sense of depth and enhancing user experience. Although Apple's Liquid Glass is meticulously designed, it may come across as too subtle compared to the more pronounced Aero Glass effects. The impressions of macOS 26 Tahoe are based on the initial developer beta, and improvements are expected before its public release later this fall.
