I love the lead-in to this. Starts off with the proposition that "The new iPhone 15 Pro raises the bar once more for the high-end smartphone market, packing a ton of new and tempting features inside its lightweight titanium frame." And the opening point is summed up with "Apple is giving our littlest fingers a break."

I don't know. As beautiful as this looks I really hope we're not typing in spatial computing. The lack of physical feedback is problematic. We adjusted with screen/glass keyboards by shifting to thumbs. I don't think we're going to be touch-typing in this new space.

Internationally produced devices such as Apple iphones? Last time I checked mostly are all produced in China, hello????

Just to be clear, though, a Toyota made and then sold in the U.S. isn't an American car. A Tesla Model 3 that rolls out of Tesla Giga Shanghai isn't a Chinese car. An iPhone is assembled in China but for trade purposes it's a U.S. phone.

WhatsApp has had vulnerabilities that allowed someone to exploit a mobile device simply by sending a malicious MP4 or GIF or placing a VoIP call to the victim. See CVE-2019-11931, CVE-2019-11932, and CVE-2019-3568.

To any ornithologist: how do dimming of lights reduce the risk that migratory birds will strike the side of buildings? It seems counterintuitive. The reason buildings and other tall structures are lit at night (either entirely or with those flashing red marker lights) is so aircraft won't hit them.

Not an ornithologist so maybe not qualified to answer your question but intriguing enough. Apparently:

"The reasons are not entirely understood, but nocturnal migrants often navigate by the stars and illuminated windows and other night lights often divert them from their original flight paths, especially in low-ceiling or foggy conditions."
