Apple ushers in most advanced iPhone recycling robot 'Daisy' alongside Earth Day donations...
So, anyone pick up on the connection between Apple naming a disassembly robot Daisy, and the song that HAL 9000 sings as Dave is disassembling it?

Apple drops PostScript support in Preview for macOS Ventura
There are a lot of scientific/technical applications for PS/EPS files that remain, and many journals in those domains still want those file formats for figure submissions.That being said, on macOS, there is the macTeX distribution (https://tug.org/mactex/), which includes the TeXShop front end that can render PS/EPS files, which uses underlying functionality.Other Adobe applications, like the full Acrobat, render PS/EPS files, albeit, you will get a security warning, by default, when opening these files, asking if you trust the source of the file.Perhaps, if Apple elects to revert this change in Preview, they could take a similar approach with the pop up, as some have hypothesized that Apple's reason for this change in Preview is security related, paralleling a change in Office made by MS back in 2017/2018:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/support-for-eps-images-has-been-turned-off-in-office-a069d664-4bcf-415e-a1b5-cbb0c334a840 ;

Apple issues Rapid Security Response for iOS 16.5.1 & macOS 13.4.1
lesterkrimbaugh said: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.
Reporting the same issue here, and I have submitted a bug report to Apple via:
https://www.apple.com/feedback/
I selected Safari as the component for the report.
You get redirected to:
https://m.facebook.com/?_rdr
on the desktop, which is the Facebook mobile URL, hence the compressed rendering of the page.

For those still reading this article and the comments, Apple pulled the RSRs late yesterday and there are instructions for iOS and macOS to remove them here:
