Apple sues ex employee over iOS Journal app leaks
mknelson said:randominternetperson said:Will AI be in a position to testify against this guy?
Wall Street Journal, The Information, sure. But is an AI staffer named as one of the three journalists?
And if not, they should be asking themselves why not. What can they do better to be the go-to destination for Apple staffers with an axe to grind. -
Despite Apple pushback, Oregon has passed its right-to-repair bill banning parts pairing
Observations from reading the new law (https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2024R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/SB1596/Enrolled)
1. Toothbrushes are specifically exempt. That powerful toothbrush lobby!
2. Although the law going into effect this coming January, there is no enforcement mechanism for violations before July 1, 2027. That should be plenty of time for Apple to comply (or hire the lobbyist used by the toothbrush cartel).

What's Apple going to do about this (besides lobbying for a change in the law)? Stop selling products in Oregon or change the way they make all their products? Depending on the timing of the new law, they might be forced to do the former. And how are they supposed to make all devices sold between 2015 and now compliant? Possibly some of the parts-pairing enforcement would be in parts that can't be updated. -

Apple ID rebrand to 'Apple Account' expected in iOS 18 & macOS 15
How is that not confusing? Why label the page "Apple ID" and then say "Manage your Apple Account"? There is link saying "Create Your Apple ID" when, in fact, you're creating an account. Right there in the text box it says enter an email OR phone number. Is the "ID" the email address name of the account or the account itself? Doing away with the Apple ID term makes good sense.
If/when they want the email address associated with your account, they can ask for that, just like Amazon and everyone else does.
Sure, this isn't an epic, life-altering change, but it makes good sense once you think about it. And good for them for biting the bullet and making this administratively painful transition (if they do).
