AirTag review: sets out to do one thing, and does it near perfectly
What the AirTags need is geofencing, specifically selectable geofencing.If I'm in a busy airport I want to know immediately any time my carryon or my messenger bag leaves my side — whether I forget to grab it of if it wanders 10 feet away.On a train where my bag is on the luggage rack on the other end of the car I want to know if it suddenly moves to the next car.I know this will drain the battery but that's why it needs to be selectable so I can turn it off when I'm in my hotel room.

Texas boy's 31 cheeseburger order demonstrates why you should secure your iPhone
Or, more importantly, why the iPhone and iPad need to support multiple logins. Then your child can have a protected account.

Grayshift becomes second service to promise forensic unlocks for Apple's iPhone 8 & X
Since I use my fingerprint to open my phone, I have no issue using a 15 character passphrase, upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. Good luck brute force cracking that. And I’m not even a criminal!

Apple Stores start selling One Drop blood glucose monitors
A couple of points about proprietary blood glucose systems:
1. The One Drop lancets (the pointy things that poke your finger) are clumsy and a pain in the butt to use, imho. They cost about 15¢/lancet.
2. The Accu-Chek Fastclix Lancing device and Lancets are easy to use, imho. They cost about 7¢/lancet.
3. The One Drop test strips run about 50¢/strip. The going rate for Amazon's generic "Choice" test strips is about 17¢/strip.
4. Amazon's generic "Choice" meter ($24) also supports Bluetooth and HealthKit.
Do the math. At 2 to 4 tests per day it really adds up.

Even with so many demonstrated use cases, Apple Vision Pro might not yet have a purpose
Heck. I'll pay $3,500 just so I can put googly eyes on the outfacing display and freak people out.

Roadside Assistance via Satellite provides more help for iPhone users
Apparently only AAA for the moment. This year AAA California is $56/year for the basic service. As a 49 year member* I can say even if you need them once every couple of years it's worth it.jellybelly said:By free service, I assume you mean just the calling feature (satellite only needed if out of cell range), not the fix- it truck or tow you get. That would be a separate service that has its own cost. If that service stop is covered for two years, that would be way too amazing to believe.I do think an edit is in order to prevent false expectations of what is free for two years. It’s not obvious to all that will read the article.Otherwise, great news and lots of fast reporting on Apple’s reveal event.
* Except that one year back in the 1970s, while I was a struggling student, when they kicked me out because I ran out of gas 24 times in 6 months. LOL.

Apple issues Rapid Security Response for iOS 16.5.1 & macOS 13.4.1
Just applied the Rapid Security Response. It broke Facebook on Safari.
Before the update loading Facebook in Safari for MacOS worked fine.
After the update loading Facebook in Safari for MacOS brings up a warning:
"Unsupported Browser
You're using a browser that isn't supported by Facebook, so we've redirected you to a simpler version to give you the best experience."
And, yes. It's a squished down version of Facebook.
