It's sad that decorum is gone from one party as MAGA made cheating and stealing acceptable. 

This isn’t anything new. I remember people stealing not only elections signs but real estate signs, road cones, traffic signs, caution tape, you name it. If it’s something left outside, near the road, people will be tempted to steal it. Most of that was in fun, steal an election sign or real estate sign and place in front of someone else’s house, that sort of thing.

I just realized that if you want to track an iPhone owner and not have them notified, leave AirPods on them, around them, near them, etc. instead of AirTags.   

Plus, there are dumb@sses with cars worth half a million dollars who don’t have GPS trackers installed.  

Not really. My wife leaves her work-assigned AirPods in my car occasionally and I get a notification that they have been following me around. That notification includes a map and a red line showing my route/s where the AirPods were with me. 

So do AirPods have the same functionality as AirTags using Find My?

Very similar. I can see their last known location, play a sound and use the “Find” feature that will direct me to them if my phone can get their signal,

• Siri will offer a richer understanding of the user's queries. It can also be connected up to ChatGPT, with the latter capable of handling queries on behalf of the user instead of Siri.

I’m curious, right now if I ask Siri a “world knowledge” question I will frequently get a response that cites information from Wikipedia or some other website. Will that still work under iOS 18.1 or will that be a thing of the past and if I have a “world knowledge” question I’ll have to enable ChatGPT queries?

Off topic a wee bit... but it would be neat if my car's adaptive cruise control could auto adjust to the speed limit when asked.  There are roads across central Florida where the posted speed changes every hundred yards and the area is famous for speed traps!

Not entirely what you are asking for but several cars use built-in cameras to read speed limit signs and adjust the cruise control accordingly. The ones I’ve seen allow the operator to set how much above (or below?) the posted limit they would like to drive at and the cruise will change as the speed limit does.
