The paper really needs to fact check that second paragraph. The Titans didn’t play the Bills in the 2000 Super Bowl 😬. The Bills and the Titans are both members of the AFC.

Here is another concerning reason to not use Chrome.

Was about to make the same comment 😉. Will share the wiki instead.

48 hrs in and for me this is by the best beta 1 ever. Outside of the initial SOC warmup everything has been uneventful. iPhone 13 Pro.

The whole green bubble/blue bubble stuff was such a contrived story to begin with. iMessage is only popular in the US and Apple's RCS integration was pushed by the Chinese government who want their carriers to support it.

As a rather involved Apple users since the mid 90s I plan on updating my Apple devices until they are deemed end-of-life by Apple.

The last MacOS update is the first genuine dud I’ve experienced and since the management person who led that design initiative is no longer with Apple I cannot see my behavior changing.

FWIW, Macs don’t tend to get slower with time like similar Windows computers. The software or technology might get more resource-intensive, but the computer/OS combo mostly retains their original processing power.

What you might read or experience in the Windows world (see Windows 11) does not happen with MacOS.

Are those low top Air Force Ones or Give Up Shoes?

M1 MBP owner here. Been running the 27 Developer Beta since the first release and I can confirm it looks and performs better than Tahoe.

Apple promised many improvements with speed being one of them. Thus far I can confirm it’s snappier with an improved UI.

Just installed and surprisingly, I do not hate it. There is room for some iterative changes but it's not bad. Rather legible as well.

Thus far all installed apps are working fine.

Can confirm this feature is really good. Was so surprised by a song transition that I pressed the headunit's AppleMusic icon to see what happened (was using Maps at the time).

Saw this on HN earlier today. I understand the author may have a sensory condition, but the purchase of a form-fitting protective cover to achieve the same goal should have been considered. I can confirm they are an option. I have purchased three (M1 MBP, M3 MBA & M4 MBA) for the purpose of protection but did notice the smoother edges.

Also there are many keyboards, small form factor included, that would obviate the need to modify the computer.

“The United States leads the world in new medical innovations.”

What national body defines and measures this metric? How does this metric translate across nations? Is there an international body that similarly defines and measures this metric?

Merely creating something without considering its impact is not something that should be considered when trying to make the overall point.

This is about my biggest real gripe thus far. And like you said, it relates to my Lock Screen background picture.

Also not really a fan of the keyboard's more rounded off corners.

The CarPlay changes are really good. I have a smaller screen which means no room for widgets on the primary screen but it is still great. There are also in app Map changes I've noticed. It notified me of train tracks and there is some additional detail showing.

Is this just standard iOS indexing rebuild after a major update or some aspect of iOS 18 not yet built up?

Will take the jump and contribute later today.

Agreed. I don’t know much about the source but it might just be an indication of the author’s intent, if there is a human author.

There is a much better image choice to be used and it would not take much effort.

Update: Saw the pic, read the article, but didn’t realize the forum until afterwards. Will just move and pretend.

Sounds like there is a motive. Typically I sample the headlines and read a site’s “About Us” page before diving in.

It was early, I saw a familiar face, and started reading. Also this very subgroup is a tad bit too general for my taste. Never again.

Might be the angle, but his ass looks wider than his shoulders. I don’t know of a medical term for such a thing, but he looks rotund for his time.
