Beyond the scooter wars.
Link. “The complete street perceives the street as a space where different transportation modes can coexist: not only cars, but also buses, and lanes for trams, bicycles and scooters” And pedestrians. It will be a hell of a fight.
Apple Manage Devices / Associated Devices is still kind of broken
Link. Apple has two inconsistent databases for managing device DRM.
DRM in 2005 – “Palladium” and “RetinaLock ™”.
Link. Interesting to see how this played out. Thanks to streaming RetinaLock is closer than ever.
iOS 12 Family Sharing: Purchase Sharing supports changing Apple ID and UI could support future multiple Apple IDs.
Link. It’s not a fix for Apple’s 10 year Apple ID/DRM fiasco but it’s the hint of a beginning of a fix.
iCloud calendar invitations have been broken for five years (2016)
Link. I need to test this again in 2019. Doubt it’s fixed though. Very hard bug to describe.
iOS 12 Parental Controls / Restrictions / Screen Time: Parental Controls (Passcode restricted) is not always compatible with “Share Across Devices”
Link. Apple should hire me.
iOS 12: It’s now possible to remove/change Restriction / Screen Time passcode without removing restrictions
Link. This is a big help for parents. Changing passcode used to require redoing restriction configuration.
iPhone X case … Moment lens?
Link. I’ll need a new case. Should it be one that mounts a lens?
“The iPhone XS is so good at balancing light, it’s actually quite difficult to create a silhouette”
Link. XR is good value for photographers, XS is an expensive lens addition. Not unthinkable though.
The windowless buildings of the AT&T NSA relationship.
Link. Legacy of the old monopoly. Google would be the modern AT&T.
Banks conspired to fix credit card transaction fees.
Link. 6 billion is too small a penalty.
