But as a result, you know, and you have all these different controls in a snowblower.

You have, you know, the forward and back thing, the engaged and disengaged thing, and then also how to aim the chute that you're throwing snow out of.

And sure enough, I, you know, back into my garage in one of the maneuvers that I'm like clumsily, clunkily executing.

And I just throw a huge amount of snow into my garage all over like the network area, like where all the 3D printing filaments are stored.

Wonderful.

But I'll tell you what, was all of the clumsiness and all of the just absolute disaster that was me trying to clear snow out of my driveway a few days ago and today was nothing compared to the clumsiness and disaster that is the watchOS 26 workout app.

What a transition.

Okay.

Granted, this is a very hot take because I'm just finding all this out today.

Because I was holding out on watchOS 26 because I had it on a test watch during the betas, and I didn't like the clear buttons to enter your passcode.

I never used it for workouts, so I never really saw the workout app.

So I was like, eh, why upgrade to watchOS 26?

It seems like it adds nothing.

I'll just wait.

and wait and i guess there was never and my it bugged me every morning when i put the watch on and software updates ready and i would just dismiss it and i just never just always wait and with 26.4 betas now it yells at you pretty badly if you if you don't have it like it like refuses to connect to the watch now so i'm like okay fine i guess i'll run the update so i'm just seeing watch os 26 for the first time as of yesterday and today

and I did my first workout today, and I'm looking at Garmin's online now.

Like, that's how... Like, I... Again, this is the hottest of hot takes.

I think watchOS might be the worst 26 update.

Like, of all the... You know, and Tahoe's bad.

Believe me, Tahoe's bad.
