AirTag data crucial to recovery of man's lost luggage
So great. I did this with our bags over spring break. It was great piece of mind to see them on our flight, each way.

Apple hourly workers feel helpless under punishing pressure & mistreatment
Why stay for ten years if the conditions are so bad? I'm not asking to challenge you. I'm just curious about what the upside has been.sully54 said:As someone who currently works at an apple store, I can confirm that it’s pretty much a sh!t show each shift I work, and I’ve been with apple over 10 years. And it’s not just coming from Apple. Customers are aggressive and rude. So to get it from both sides, it’s demoralizing.

Apple unveils new iPhone SE priced at just $399
And my son's 5th grade graduation present was announced by Apple, today. This is the perfect phone for him to start with as he moves on to middle school/junior high. He's been using an iPod touch as a starter. It allows him to text and FaceTime. He has a Relay for when he is out in public. This is the perfect step up.

Health records firm Epic, some 60 client hospitals urge against data sharing rules support...
Nah. EPIC is worried about your information become accessible to any software maker thus making it easier for healthcare providers to move to another provider. Right now, EPIC has a lock on the market. The moment the information becomes open source/cross platform, this dominance is lost. Currently, if you are a hospital who stores their records on EPIC, it is monumentally expensive and cost prohibitive to event consider switching platforms. EPIC will get crushed by innovation as it currently looks like software made in the late 90's.GeorgeBMac said:
Bull!AppleInsider said:we are concerned that ONC's Proposed Rule on interoperability will be overly burdensome on our health system and will endanger patient privacy,"EPIC and the hospitals are not concerned about patient privacy or cost (When did our healthcare system ever worry about cost?)They ARE concerned about losing control of patient data for a plethora of reasons: Once control of the data is taken away from "The System" the patient has a lot more knowledge and control -- which can put the hospital in bad spot. Basically, our healthcare system, particularly at the hospital level, has always been adamant on maintaining total control of what goes on -- the patient is limited to refusing care, but even that is very difficult. In addition, the patient's data would lose a great deal of its monetary value as they would not be able to sell it themselves to companies like Google (which one major system has already done).When thinking about why our large health care operations do something always think money and profits because that is all that they think of - just as any other corporation does. This proposal will cost them both in money and control so they are opposed to it. Their objections have nothing to do with protecting the patient -- that's just the shield they hide behind.
