Grocer Kroger launches QR code-based payment service, snubs Apple Pay
So, I did not know, (or forgot), Kroger was one of the currenc holdouts. I hate Kroger but it’s the only place in my area with nearly reasonable prices on natural and organic foods. I’ve contacted them several times telling them they need to adopt Apple Pay, pass it on to management, the response was that they were not going to, kind of rude about it, no thanks for my interest or anything positive to say to me about it, or for contacting them.
They don’t know how to manage their stores and they don’t know how to stock limited time major sale items, I have problems with their self check out too often, and, I gave up trying to use my own bags long ago because I would always need assistance, pressing “use my own bags” never works right, ...the list goes on. When I move again, I hope I will be able to avoid Kroger.

Researcher demos new macOS Keychain exploit, holds data from Apple in protest
This is bogus:
1) the person trying to steal your passwords has to first have access to your Mac.
2) he then ran some app to get your passwords...I’m guessing all this app does is enter your Mac’s password for the keychain items automatically and then extracts them and displays them all in a list, so, again, back to 1).
3) you can also lock keychain so that it has to be opened with a password, so they’d need not only your Mac’s password, but keychain’s password...this is not the default for keychain. -

Researchers find loophole that extends USB Restricted Mode's hour-long timer
To clarify: you can still plug your iPhone into a charging brick and it will charge without unlocking it.
If you are plugging it into anything that uses the data path at all, and you have not unlocked your iDevice for more than an hour, then you will have to unlock it. This will likely be rare in real world use...how many times have you left your iPhone alone without opening it at all for an hour?
