Tile bemoans Apple AirTags launch, raises antitrust concerns
I hope the AirTags give advanced warning of when the battery is about to die. I have several Tiles and a few of them died without me knowing about it, so I can't find what they're attached to.

Classic Mac game 'Myst' comes to Apple Silicon
Myst III: Exile was a good one too. It had a good story and a well-known actor as the protagonist (Brad Dourif, a.k.a. Wormtongue in LotR).sflocal said:Myst - and Riven - are still imho some of the most amazing games that I grew up with. I would get a VR headset just to play this game again.
Myst IV sucked.
I miss these sorts of games. Journeyman Project and its sequels were fun to play too,
