Yeah its unfortunate there's an AI app on the apple store with the same name

I've had movies I've "bought" disappear from the Apple account. I guess they lost the license and I'm supposed to download all purchases and manually copy between devices. I contacted Apple and they offered a free rental as compensation. "Buy" doesn't mean the same on these streaming platforms, its just a longer-term rental.

Or it could give regulators an excuse to come out with more big brother tech if age verification isn't up to par

I'm using Brave and Vivaldi - still the same chromium engine as Google's Chrome but both support ublock origin for now.

Less than a month after Microsoft announcing this for Windows https://www.theverge.com/tech/870045/microsoft-windows-11-is...

Yes, the cheap engineered "foods" don't help, and they're everywhere. This part of the article really hit home:

He is worried that without additional support for people making the transition, society's unhealthy relationship with food means little will change.

"The environment that people live in needs to be one that promotes health, not weight gain.

Also generic versions of Ozempic are coming to Canada soon: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/ozempic-generic-canada-weight...

I'm 42 in Canada and just got the first shot yesterday. Doctor prescribed it because I'm getting psoriasis and I guess that puts you at a higher risk of developing shingles. With the prescription, it was fully covered.

Meta uses the in app browsers to inject trackers on every site you visit. https://krausefx.com//blog/ios-privacy-instagram-and-faceboo...

Probably others doing the same. I always open pages in full safari and use NextDns to block trackers in all apps.

ActivityPub for Wordpress just posted about a bridge with Bluesky https://activitypub.blog/2025/08/07/bridging-the-gap/

Cloudflare has free AI Labyrinths if your goal is to target AI. The bots follow hidden links to a maze of unrelated content, and Cloudflare uses this to identify bots. https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/

TL;DR: Some code looking for Windows 95 or 98 only looked for "Windows 9" to match both, and would have matched Windows 9.

Now Apple has the year in the OS version we'll have people wondering in a few years what happened to iOS 19-25.

Even if you buy aluminium cans, there's a thin layer of plastic lining to prevent reactions with the metal. I've also noticed lots of paper/cardboard packaging have a plastic coating.

Found this in another article about the settlement at https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/01/02/apple-agrees-to-9...:

"Some plaintiffs claimed that discussions of products such as Air Jordan and Olive Garden restaurants prompted ads to be served for those products. However, Apple's privacy systems would prevent such targeted advertising to occur based on recordings from Siri specifically."

Seems similar to the updated Reeder app for mac/iOS. Its an RSS reeder that now works with Youtube channels, Reddit subreddits, Bluesky, Flickr, etc. https://reeder.app/

Maybe designed to help with anti-theft? I already use a shortcut automation when airplane mode is turned on to lock my phone and turn off airplane mode, as that’s the first thing thieves would do.

I’ve been using Brave since Google announced they were going to do this. Blocking is built in and they support ublock origin with manifest v2 “for now” https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/

I loved the Clié for the built-in camera. Not sure that the quality was much better than the old Sony cameras with built-in floppy disk drives though.

Don't they already scam people by duplicating government websites?
