It's funny that they took this opportunity to remove the etched Apple logo on the bottom of Magic Mouse--would have loved to have been in the meeting where they discussed a long list of tweaks they could have made, but only removing the Apple logo made it through! What was THAT decision about? Did they save some fraction of a penny on a bottom plate with no etching? Well, at least Apple is saving me money! 

I suspect the reason why Apple did this is because they moved – or are in the process of moving – towards having a single Apple logo per product. If you notice, the new Apple Silicon-based iMacs, very much unlike its Intel- and PowerPC-based predecessors (at least thee G3 and G4 models), no longer feature a logo on the front, only on the back, and it’s not surprising that the USB-C Magic Mouse 2, which also comes bundled with those, adheres to that scheme.

… or you could open the Terminal and type “sudo xattr -cr”, drop the app on the window, press return, type your admin password and press return again. Boom, problem solved.

Kamala is the democrat nominee? Who voted for her. Oh yeah no one. I remember now. She stole it from Joe, who we did vote for in the primary. Now that’s the decorum of cheating and stealing. Yup she’s just like us

She was part of the package because her boss/WH mate didn’t try to get her hanged by a mob and, much like she would be his automatic successor should he kick the bucket or resign, she was also the natural one when he dropped out. You might make that argument for Walz, but the same logic applies to unelected VPs in those succession scenarios, so… there’s a clear precedent of trusting POTUSes to pick their mates, and I don’t see why it should be any different for presidential candidates.

Also, much like the Electoral College holds the real and legal power in the General Election, the Party delegates also do in the Primaries and she secured their support – and, yes, votes – in a matter of days.

Quit whining and making a mountain out of a molehill, as if she was even the nominee of your party of choice.  You don’t care, and the fact that you are most definitely willing to vote for a guy who talked about suspending the US Constitution – and, thus, elections altogether – is proof positive of that.

[…] It might even impact European elections to get rid of the hostile politicians. […]

Dude. Have you looked at a calendar or the news recently? That ship has sailed, this election cycle for the European Parliament just ended a bit under two weeks ago, on June 9th. Bar some insane scandal, there’s gonna be no changes to said “hostile politicians” over the next five years.

Oh, you wanted a showstopper? I'll give you a showstopper: Sonoma completely borked Time Machine for me, because of… some Cloud Files syncing bug, when all my cloud services are working fine and properly updated (and in always-available in offline mode instead of in on-demand/streaming mode, no less)…?

Completely ridiculous. I've been using Time Machine continuously for EIGHTEEN YEARS now, and I had never seen anything like this. I've seen reports of this bug on Reddit and over on the competition's forums (MacRumors, you can go and check my posts there if you want), and just spent more than half an hour on the phone with an Apple Care representative who confirmed that they're also getting internal reports of this through the official feedback channels.

I think that an update to this article, and maybe to the one about the 14.1 developer beta, is in order.

For reference, here's what it looks like: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/15pb8x8/sonoma_time_machine_some_of_the_files_on_your_mac/

I mean, what kind of stupid behaviour is this? Even if one of my cloud services was acting up, an incomplete backup is better than NO backup. Ffs 🤦‍♂️
