Wasn't getting notifications and found that Focus was turned on. I *never* use Focus. I did not turn on Focus. Why is Focus enabled? Who f*cking knows. Went to find out if I could permanently disable Focus, and, No... no you can't.

Because #Apple knows best.

#Apple has silently removed International Women's Day on 8 March from its calendar app. I don't find that funny.

@stroughtonsmith First thing I noticed when I did the demo a year ago. The #Apple presentation made it seem super sharp. But you could tell it’s a video and it still looked a bit blurred. For me though having limited exposure to VR I enjoyed it. Especially immersive video of the train coming around the mountain and the baby hippos. But it’s not 100% life like, maybe about 80 to 85%.

Apple's Passwords app was vulnerable to phishing attacks in iOS versions prior to 18.2. Its functionality to change a password from within the app used to open an account's website via insecure HTTP by default. This allowed an attacker with privileged network access to easily intercept and redirect calls to a phishing website. Although the bug was addressed in iOS 18.2, #Apple only recently closed the report.

Yes, this #apple #keyboard is not the best Apple ever made, but it’s nearing the end of its 14th year and is being used on my M1 iMac. While the Magic Keyboard that came with the M1 broke after not even a year.

If you’re having any concerns about the excessive energy uses of #AI, don’t worry - companies are working tirelessly to bring those numbers down and are not shying away from doing whatever it takes to make them look good. Heroic, really.

When it comes to safe bets, a revamped MacBook Air with Apple’s latest entry-level chip is about as safe as it gets – and for good reason. The new MacBook Air does essentially everything you’d need an ultra-portable device to do. It’s fast, thin, light, and more powerful than you’d expect.

Britische Überwacher verlangen weltweiten Zugriff auf Apple-Backups. Apple darf das nicht bestätigen und ist damit offenbar kein Einzelfall.

If you don’t know, Safari on iPad is crashing if you’re resuming it with more than 1200 tabs on your profile

If you reopen it (cold launch) after the crash, it will start as usual but with all tabs unloaded, it’s only crashing on resume

So you know

FYI, my iPhone just updated itself to whatever the newist iOS version is. Afterward, as I suspected, it had enabled Apple Intelligence, though before the update it was unchecked. Sneaky fuckers thought I wouldn't notice.

The apps setting for Apple Intelligence & Siri->Learn from this App remained unchecked, but I had to confirm that because you know on the next update they're flip that bit.
