Link. Recommended by Adam Engst. I’ve tried several and been unhappy, but I’ll give this another look.

Link. Simple recommendations on which products to buy.

Link. I think when you change “Media & Purchases” Apple ID you have to delete and reinstall every app.

Link. Shoot me now.

Link. We are in a bleak time for software. Seems to happen every 15y or so.

Link. That’s awfully young for a healthy active person. In his sleep apparently, presumably cardiac.

Link. ID.me was a Trump-era commitment. I suspect there’s more to this story than journalists are saying out loud.

Link. Good to refresh my memory. I remember AppleLink and eWorld before “.mac” and MobileMe. eWorld was a cross between today’s Apple Discussions and Facebook Groups. Try https://bit.ly/3sfRhON.

Link. Via Twitter. Love idea.

Link. Switzerland doesn’t enforce laws against serving the very bad people.

Link. Nobody wants to take him and sooner or later he will swat someone.

Link. Dyer thinks we are getting wiser.

Link. Dyer stand his ground. No invasion. I have not seen any persuasive story of why a sane Putin would invade. I think he may be stupid though.

Link. Nasty bug, but they don’t care.

Link. They are right that untrained civilians can’t interpret data.

Link. Fallows slowly builds to putting a knife into Baquet. Well deserved, he’s the main reason I may drop the NYT this year. (WaPo is better.)

Link. Great tutorial on how state budgets work, esp. MN. The real work legislators do. Also, this is a great line: “Oklahoma, in contrast, has been clawing its way to the bottom over the last 20 years by cutting education funding.”

Link. My 2011 MacBook Air

Link. “For certain sensitive information, such as your Keychain, Screen Time, and Health data, Apple uses end-to-end encryption. This data is not accessible via the iCloud Data Recovery Service.”

Link. Apple has improved the About screen that shows these identifiers. The EID is new, it permanently identifies the eSIM. The SEID uniquely identifies the iPhone by security element chip and is a part of how Apple Pay works. I assume access to SEID is limited. UDID can’t be seen easily any more.

Link. It’s good to have some left wing crackpots for a change.

Link. Reset Home is key.

Link. Apple Password is best product in years. But need to address weak iOS passcode problem.

Link. Similar case could be made for medical drug information, esp side-effects.

Link. Obvious room for negotiation, which can be a face saving option for Putin.
