As long as I can turn it off/hide it they can knock themselves out.

Washington D.C. rolling out Apple AirTag program to help curb car theft
Exactly! AirTags are awful for this use case… not only do they self report their presence after a very short period of time but the thief can play a sound to easily locate then discard them.slow n easy said:Yeah but the thieves will get a message on their phone informing them of the AirTag following them, so they would likely find and get rid of it. -
Apple will frame iPhone 15 USB-C switch as a consumer win
Would have been better if they skipped usbc and did MagSafe like they did on the MacBook Pro honestly. Being forced into anything is never a win and now we are saddled with this port until the EU dictates otherwise. All hail the EU though.. 🙄darkvader said:It IS a consumer win.And it's a win we wouldn't have gotten if the EU hadn't forced Apple to do it.

Apple Car seats could change shape to help driver during sharp turns
The bolsters were not simply adjustable in the M5 (E60)... they were Active (A few AMG cars appear to have had it as well). Inflating and deflating as we went around the track into each curve.cjcampbell said:My first thought is we don't need to encourage people to take corners faster. Drivers already round corners faster than they can stop for an obstruction they can't see.
But this looks like it is to maintain passenger comfort while cornering. I get that. The driver does not feel as uncomfortable because you're hanging onto the steering wheel.
As for adjustable bolsters, yes -- my BMW has those. And I have used one of the presets to move the seat all the way back when I get in or out of the car. But it does not do this automatically. My Lincoln MKC, however, does do this automatically.
Here is the article I found about the AMG version... it appears BMW stopped offering it after the E60.

Apple Car seats could change shape to help driver during sharp turns
BMW has had active bolsters for some time now... I rode in a V10 M5 around Road America years ago that inflated bolsters to keep you tight in the seat. Not sure how this is new ? maybe because they mention a bench seat?
