Canadian carrier set iPhone clocks back one hour, a week early
DST is retarded to begin with, a harebrained idea by harebrained politicians trying to solve a problem they didn’t understand, creating a slew of much more severe problems as a consequence. (Sounds a lot like the current rush into renewables instead of nuclear energy…)
1) time is not arbitrary, but derived from the earth’s movement around the sun and it’s own axis.
2) the energy savings aren’t real, at least not these days, where it just means people spend time gaming, running the AC, etc. which more than makes up for the puny savings in (LED) light.
3) the economic disruption, and the wasted productivity with switching time tables multiple times per year, and not even the same day across the globe.
Don’t try to fool people by shifting clocks, simply have different business hours during summer, if you absolutely must. -

Apple already included workaround for MacBook Pro notch
Why would it scale from all sides? Simply advertising to a app a less tall screen would be sufficient. No need to have black bezels on the other three sides, or is the article reporting the behavior wrong/misleadingly?
The proper way to handle this is, that the code which draws the menu bar, simply makes that unavailable. Very few apps draw into the menu bar directly, so frankly why should developers even have to jump through hoops for something Apple’s libraries should handle transparently without additional efforts by developers? -

Apple releases macOS Monterey with Shortcuts and Live Text
And once more:
Good news is actionable news.
For news about new software releases to be actionable, BUILD NUMBERS are ESSENTIAL.
If I have e.g. a RC candidate installed, I can’t tell if the RC and the final release are identical without knowing the BUILD NUMBER.
So please, how many years do I have to ask for it, report the build numbers when reporting new OS software releases!
