  • Digital IDs in Apple Wallet now confirmed for California residents

    I just signed up. As of now, your mDL (mobile drivers license) resides in the CA DMV Wallet app. It won't go into the Apple Wallet, which is probably why I can't get it onto my AppleWatch. It's still a pilot program and is not approved for if you get pulled over while driving in CA, isn't recognized yet in other states, and may not be recognized by businesses (all per the DMV FAQ). I'm thinking of it as a backup document for TSA for now.

  • How Apple & Big Tech gutted New York's right to repair bill

    Of course, Apple (and everyone else) should be designing for repair too. 

    Designing for repair has its own associated costs (design and final product). I would imagine that a cell phone designed to be repairable by the end user would be less compact and durable. Glueing everything together tight has benefits, both in manufacturing costs and in durability.
