  • Apple goes to court to fight UK demand for iCloud encryption backdoor

    As a protest, Apple could rebrand the iPad as the iPad- (iPad Minus) or "iPad Snooper" in the UK. The fact that UK iPads now have less security is the real reason why sales will drop in the UK, and a rebranding won't make it worse. A rebranding will force the government to reconsider due to the bad publicity it will get.

    I thought the M3 was no longer being manufactured, it was just stop-gap version with significant limitations in manufacturing. 
    And more and more, it's going to be AI slop. 
    Yes, until some company realizes I will switch to them if they detect and block all AI content from their platform. But so far, no company wants my money.

  • Tim Cook teases the imminent launch of a new MacBook Air

    It looks like an Apple Pencil to me. Maybe the Apple Pencil Air.

  • Inside Apple Shortcuts - the best feature that can revolutionize how you work

    I will save a link to this article and refer to it often.

    The reason I haven't used Shortcuts too much on my Mac is that there's very little it can do that I can't already do with the application "Keyboard Maestro." But in those cases that Shortcuts can do something unique (eg, dictate/record some text from the user, or get the temperature from a HomeKit sensor) I can easily call a shortcuts from "KM" and get the job done that way.

  • Microsoft Copilot lands on Mac

    BTW the standalone app does not currently appear to be available in Australia.
    AppleInsider normally doesn't clarify if a product or service is available outside the US. I'm in Canada, and it looks like it's available here.

    I was surprised how little data Microsoft steals from your Mac that's "linked to you" but I was a little disappointed by how much data it takes that's "not linked to you." I may be tempted to try it even though I hate products that take unnecessary data from me.
