I’ve never understood the giant notch on the MacBook since there is no FaceID.

I’m fairly blind to it now, but it’s definitely a weird design choice.

Mr Mangione worked as a data engineer for TrueCar

Looks like TrueCar had a decent Aetna plan in his state.

I was sure this shooter was on United Healthcare.

Apple after making $2billion in revenue by selling a measly half million headsets.

IMHO, the only benefit is the longevity of the device. Those specs are absolute overkill for today’s needs, but that iPad will remain performant for a long time.

Counter point. You can buy possum fur clothing with same day delivery.

DHL in Germany, pretty ok.

DHL in the US: package will be delivered by white windowless van with a crooked magnet on the side. It will be delivered to the wrong house. In the wrong city.

Shrinking is pretty chill. Kind of reminds me a little bit of Ted Lasso in that people aren’t total pieces of shit and try to learn from their fuck ups. Also, Harrison Ford.

Pharma companies pay for their own efficacy and safety studies just like car companies pay for their own crash tests. They’re required to.

Sorry, I’m hard of hearing. I think you asked for extra genocide? That’s our new chef’s speciality!

“I don’t want basic Genocide, I want to evolve to stage 2 Genocidonite”

Good call out. We definitely need to clarify what is “political” more than what is there now.

I don’t think that was me that pulled it, but after listening to the song, which is dope, I probably would’ve made the same call.

Basically anything that spends a significant portion of time focusing on a politician, public policy, or geopolitics, we’re asking those to be posted to /polticialvideos. This video might have also been getting rule violation reports from the community.

Given the current wars and recent elections, political videos were becoming a large part of LW videos content. I personally have no problem with it, and I like political videos, but a lot of people in the community kept asking us to bifurcate.

We’re trying our best to do what the community asked us to do. It’s definitely an imperfect and subjective process.

This is why right wing media bubbles are problem. Sinclair owns a lot of the local affiliates.

For the curious:

Dude choked a woman at a public storage place. She later went to the hospital with bruises around her neck from the strangling. I imagine there will be video evidence since storage places have tons of cameras.

Riddle said he investigated the matter and learned that the woman went to meet Lanigan at Springvale Safe Storage on River Street earlier that afternoon at 12:45 p.m.

When she arrived, she saw Lanigan there with another woman, with whom Lanigan had allegedly been having an affair, according to the affidavit.

The woman began yelling at the other woman. She confronted Lanigan about the alleged infidelity.

According to the affidavit, the woman said Lanigan then “grabbed her around the neck with both hands and choked her for approximately 20 seconds.”

The woman was able to get away from him, and she went home, where she called two of her friends, the affidavit states.

First responders brought the woman to Maine Medical Center in Sanford to be treated.

The victim “has bruising on the left and right side of her neck,” according to the affidavit.

As a result of the alleged strangulation, she also had spots on her face and nose and inside her mouth, according to the affidavit.

Speaking for iOS, I don’t believe this is possible. iOS has rules around what background processes can and can’t run on-device.

For notifications coming from the internet, in order to preserve battery life, Apple wants cloud APNs to wake up terminated apps to deliver notifications.

I know android does some similar battery preservation stuff around notifications, but I’m a little less familiar with that.

You don’t need to have the app running in the background. Notifications can be pushed from the cloud.

Problem is, that costs money to host and run that job to check for notifications. This is why a lot of small developers end up burying notifications behind a paywall.

Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.

The way this article is framed sounds like bullshit to me. 18.1 was released less than 2 weeks ago. Any phone running this version of iOS would have had to already been in custody and somehow upgraded to this version, or otherwise brought into custody very recently—too recently for this to have already posed such a problem that law enforcement is “freaking out” and reporting it to the media.

A non-insignificant amount of people have been running the public betas because of Apple intelligence, RCS / iMessage toys, UI customization, etc. For example, MixPanel reported about 2% of the iOS install base running 18.0 before 18.0’s launch. IMHO, that’s pretty crazy for a beta OS.

Looks like the big difference is that this is on by default, it appears to get enabled when cops turn off internet access to prevent access to FindMy and remote lockdowns.
