Laminated low-E glass for single pane use in historic window?

I need to replace the scratched up glass lites in my large living room window, and I also need a better way to keep some of the solar heat from turning the living room into an oven.

Solar rejecting low-E soft coat is pretty darned good, but generally available only in a two-pane IGU window. I've come across some commercial glass fabricators that make a laminated glass with the low-E soft coat in between, but mostly they are quite thick, like 7mm, so not only a poor fit for the existing window muntins but also probably too heavy.

Wondering if anyone has fully investigated this sort of thing and perhaps found/used a good glass product that's thin and light enough to use as a direct replacement?

How large is iOS 26.5 on your SE3?

I did a wipe/restore upgrade to iOS 26.5 a few days ago (not my choice, but Apple Devices soft-bricked the phone when doing regular update). Was a PITA but I thought at least I'd have the benefit of smallest possible iOS and System Data partitions.

As it happens they didn't shrink at all: iOS is 18.74GB and System Data is 9.12GB [edit, just shrunk to 8.8GB).

How large is iOS 26.5 on your phone? I would think that size would be pretty consistent across similar models, and since SE3 does not support Apple Intelligence I'd expect it to be the smallest of all supported models.

System Data is different for everyone, of course, so no real point in comparing that. I'm just surprised that it came back at the same size even after doing wipe/restore. Can't imagine why Apple thinks that it's necessary to back up and restore all of that cruft that is easily re-downloadable when (if) needed!

[edit] Thanks folks for sharing. Seems like 12GB-13GB is normal iOS 26.5 on SE. Mine is 18.74GB. Anyone have any guesses why, or how I can reduce it?

I'm looking for totally flat insoles, 3mm-5mm, medium density, that I can put under my 3/4 insoles. Basically for the purpose of providing cushioning under my toes, since I'll be removing the original full insole, and also to lift my foot enough to provide a snug and comfortable fit (preventing foot from sliding around inside the shoe).

I keep coming across these Run 619 insoles which are awfully expensive for a plain flat piece of foam, and thicker and firmer than I'm wanting. And then there's the super non-cushioning old timey odor eater type, which are good for nothing. I'd even be happy to get a square of foam and cut them out myself, but not sure kind of foam or where to get. Anyone have any advice on what I can get, and where?

/u/Roku_CustomerSupport - the secret menu has an option to disable HDR, but sometime within maybe the last year it stopped working (i.e., selecting 'disable HDR' does nothing at all, HDR remains enabled). Disabling HDR is pretty important for those of us whose Roku TV have lower quality panels that look much worse with HDR enabled. Seeing as this option existed for years and is still shown on the secret menu, I'm guess that it was inadvertently disabled. This needs a fix. It's long overdue. HDR content on a low quality lcd display is terrible. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
