Now take a deep dive in the folder /System/Library/FeatureFlags and do a follow-up report.  There is a file here called "Livability" as well as a bunch of project code names with tags like "DevelopmentPhase" and "DisclosureRequired."

If you want to mess around in this folder, it's protected by SIP and it's also in the "sealed volume" area of the system, so at minimum you'll need to disable SIP and break the seal in order to make changes.

Dear editor and readers: the word that Gene Roddenberry probably meant to use is "phonemes," not phenoms (superstars / phenomenons).  Since it's been quoted, he either misspoke at the time, or was misquoted by the person who wrote it at the original Deadline article.  Phonemes are the basic units of speech.

Can you please correct this with an [sp] mark?

That specific shot of the phone flying toward the camera was not a practical, in-camera shot at all.  Modern visual effects are capable of generating realistic particles and debris.  Apple has extremely detailed 3D models of their devices used for marketing.  Motion tracking in Nuke and After Effects is scary good lately.  

Besides, if they didn't nail this shot on the first take, do you think they're gonna ask the actor to crash over and over again until they do?  "Take 126!"

It's rare that Apple films a device in-camera, unless it's being used by an actor holding it.  And images of the screen can be enhanced in post with sharper, more detailed ones.  In fact, they usually have to do that because the color balance won't always be perfect.

This also works great for walking tours where you would normally wear a receiver around your neck and plug in wired earbuds to hear the tour guide.  This system is very very common, especially among European river cruise operators.  The AirFly allowed us to tuck the receiver into our bag and listen on our AirPods Pro instead.  With ANC enabled, it was much easier to hear the guide speaking amid the noise of the city!

That's the point.  He's on the hook for $250k of subscription refunds, but that pales in comparison to the $20 million he'd have to pay Reddit in API fees if he were to try and keep going and honour the subscription service.  He'd understandly rather give the refunds.

I guess all the Reddit channel black outs achieved diddly squat.

You do realize that the subreddit protests haven't happened yet, and they're starting this week, right?  All the announcements have said January 12-14, but some of the largest subreddits, including /r/Videos, have made the decision to go dark permanently unless Reddit changes its tactics. 

Otherwise, starting Monday, thousands of subreddits—including some of the top default subs like funny, pics, science, and more—are either locking or going completely private.  

The CEO of reddit did an AMA yesterday.  It didn't go well.  If someone was considering an investment in reddit, Huffman's mercurial responses and doubling-down on false accusations against Apollo's developer should give them pause.
