French publishers try again to get Apple to drop Distraction Control
Though not in use at the moment, in the past I have used a (Sophos) UTM to actively block the domains which host >90% of the web ad traffic. It makes browsing a far more pleasant experience, speeds up load times, and reduces total internet data usage.

Some iPhone owners are reporting quick battery drain, but it's not clear why
Reminds me of some guys from back in my Navy days, who would pump the output of an ATC radar into a dummy load to heat Pop Tarts. You can just use your iPhone.livingroom said:mine will drain sitting on the freaking charger! it gets so hot i can use it to unfreeze TV dinners too. -
Trump says Tim Cook complained to him about the EU
Confirmed liar... So he has now officially joined the ranks of the political class.delreyjones said:
Sure, you can speculate anyway you like. But since Trump is such a confirmed liar, there's no credible evidence that it happened.
I think it could be mostly true. CEOs are kind of like dictators so dealing with real dictators is often more comfortable for them than dealing with democratic governments, even if they might not like the dictator personally or agree with all of their policies.DAalseth said:

Apple's long-rumored homeOS may arrive in 2025 with Home Hub
Hah! I am envisioning Roberto from Futurama...kkqd1337 said:Maybe it's just not for me, but I really don't see a market for something with a robotic arm that stalks you. Also Amazon already tried this and it was a bit a flop. Very niche.
I know I am not the only one who wishes Apple would use their expertise again to make home WiFi routers/networks. Its' such critical infrastructure I can't understand why the abandoned this.

Indicted Eric Adams told FBI he forgot his iPhone's new passcode
The government cannot compel anybody to do anything. You choose to comply, or not.MplsP said:Even if he isn’t lying, can the government compel a suspect to unlock their phone? Clearly they could compel a staffer to do so but would compelling Adams to do so violate the right not to self incriminate?
