Apple is a contender to buy canceled 'Coyote Vs. Acme' movie from Warner Bros
Probably not a significant factor unless they hire some A-listers for voice acting. The real costs would be for the animators and related hardware.lmasanti said:quote: ”Ultimately, it may come down to money.”
This movie… and many others… were planed with the old contractual relationship with screenwriters and actors… and —just maybe— the new contracts change that situation.

Apple Watch Ultra fall detection dials 911 after man with diabetes fell unconscious
Just imagine a future where the watch could check your blood sugar, alert you, and even alert emergency services "XXXX Fell, and their blood sugar is only YYYY".
I thought you were being pedantic with euphamisms, but I found this from 2016 which explains it well:khurtwilliams said:As a person with diabetes I want to be referred to as a person with diabetes never as a diabetic. What do you call someone with cancer? A cancerous?
'“Diabetic” is an adjective for complications related to diabetes, not my kid. My kid is a person with diabetes. Sure, “person with diabetes” (PWD) is more awkward to say; there's three additional syllables, and the language is obviously stretching to avoid labels, but the change in perspective can be life-enlightening.'

Apple sends iPhone threat alerts to India opposition politicians
They don't discuss the how/why (could be reports from intelligence agencies, or suspicious login attempts) but this article explains a bit more: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102174dk49 said:How does Apple know about it? Is Apple monitoring our iPhones constantly? Or maybe it's just some built in mechanism to detect known threats?

Apple's private Wi-Fi MAC addresses were security theater until iOS 17.1
The actual MAC was only available if an "attacker" thought "hmm, maybe this is a Mac MAC" and to look for it by poking port 5353/UDP…
I'm glad it's fixed, but it looks like it wasn't general knowledge until CVE02923-42846 was published on the 25th.
