Nation of origin is already required for physical products in the US.  I don’t see this as any different in scope or effect.  I use the current requirement to actively avoid buying food sourced from China (I value my health), and think it would be useful for software as well. 

So another day ending in y.

Right after I updated to iOS 18, there was a notification in Settings > Battery saying that I should expect increased battery usage for a while due to the update. 

I don't recommend these for use in a bedroom.  If the power goes out, when it comes back on the lights will turn on, regardless of their previous state.  This can result in some rude awakenings if the power goes out and comes back on in the middle of the night.

One of the last things I’d ever do is to confirm my identity to the Zuck.

I may change my mind when I see these in person but right now not a fan of the texture or colors.

Bring back leather.

I'm with you on this.

Amazing how they have swapped an organic, biodegradable material, with a synthetic plastic and it now better for the environment. Must be all those cow farts.

The leather market is secondary to the meat market, so the leather supply is determined by the meat demand.  Hence no net increase in greenhouse gasses, except for possible leather processing issues.

the telephoto lens performs worse in low light due to having a slower aperture which lets in less natural light.

Apertures are holes.  They have sizes, not speeds.  The telephoto lens has a smaller aperture, not a slower speed.  If we were talking about shutters, then we could also talk about speed.

Even though I know they don't take Apple Pay, I always try and then complain when it doesn't work.  If they can be annoying to me, I can return the favor.

You know there isn't one employee in your local Lowes that has any say in the corporate decision. Why actively make an hourly employee's day worse?

Yeah, I know, but it wastes time, thus money, and the execs don't like that.  

So will Apple respect employees’ desires to work in a masked environment, or work from home if that’s not possible at their location?

I have Google Translate on my phone, but only the Apple Translate app shows up as an option.  I am using an iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.5. 

Google only released the update to their app yesterday. Update your app.

Also, it seems to work okay on iOS, but not on iPadOS due to Google’s bugs.

But if you have disabled Apple Intelligence it will turn it back on and you will have to disable it again. 

Quelle horreur!
