Sometimes when I'm helping with homework, and looking for an example to practice, I find something in the workbook pages which they haven't reached yet. I find it cute when kids are nervous they'll get into trouble for having done the work before the teacher reaches that section. Of all the things to get in trouble for...!

I really, really hope they're worrying unnecessarily! I think it's better to find out early if a teacher is going to have an issue with things like that.

Interesting! Thanks for the opinion. I'm very skeptical that I'll feel the same way, but I'll check it out next time I'm near one.

I just replaced the battery in my Mini, and got the bonus free screen (I understand it is hard even for Apple to replace the battery without breaking the screen), so I'm probably set for a while, but it would be nice to have an upgrade path in the future!

Even countries which aren't as far along must be nervous when doing forecasting. Working with a team planning around forecast public healthcare requirements was anxiety inducing.

There were all sorts of plans to reduce the future requirement by addressing issues earlier, and preventing patients ending up in hospital, but it seemed to me that reduced quality of care in the future is inevitable.

You mean that the corner was damaged, not that a cat also chewed on the corner of your MBP, right? I'm still in shock that a cat would chew on glass and metal enough to damage it - two cats doing it is too much in one day!

The iPhone Air is larger than an iPhone 17 in height and width. Every non-plus/max iPhone since the 13 Mini came out is smaller than the Air in height and width. Wouldn't they be a more logical upgrade than the Air?

The main body of the iPhone Air is thinner, of course, but including the camera bulge, I think it's thicker than all non-pro iPhones up to the 16.

Is there something about making the main body thinner that makes the iPhone Air more comfortable to hold than other smaller phones? Is it the weight? The 17e is only 4 g heavier than the Air, and the 16e is only 2 g heavier.

I have never been interested in the Air because of the size, so I can't even remember if I have picked one up in an Apple Store.

To act as the Devil's Advocate here, I suppose the very high valuations for the AI companies are because some people think AI will solve those through allowing robots to do that work. Although, Healthcare is a lot broader, and seems to me to be much more complicated than the others. Surely less solvable than the others in your list - if any are in the near future.

Healthcare is probably the one that we need some sort of help with the most! I think the need for people (fine - or robots) working in Healthcare will grow faster compared to the others in the future because of population aging.

Edit: Clarified my meaning by adding "some people think" to the sentence "...because some people think AI will solve..."

Wait - it looks like this is right! I was thinking that of course you could, but it doesn't seem like the option exists once Lockdown mode is turned on. Do you know why? I don't remember reading that in the list of effects.

It seems as though it doesn't affect existing favourites in any way...

Doesn't disabling lockdown mode for specific websites solve this though? Or do you think this partially defeats the purpose for enabling it in the first place?

Hmm - I'm sure I've had that working. I have also had problems with notifications on my Apple Watch, and I'm not sure what I did to solve that, and I've also turned Lockdown mode on and off at various times, so I'm not sure.

Still - maybe take another look? I think it should work. I'll turn lockdown mode on again and test. I can't remember why I turned it off anyway.

Huh - I didn't know that!

Your username checks out :)

I would imagine because there are small differences "sk" vs "SK", "OpenAI" vs "Openai"

Have you looked into the Shortcuts app automations, to see whether you can forward incoming SMS to Gmail using that?

Just a couple of days ago, I deleted a shortcut/automation to forward messages to email which I had sitting around for ages. I had disabled it, but I don't remember if I disabled it because didn't need it, or I never got it working. I know WhatsApp was harder.

Free VPN? Does ProtonVPN do what you need?

Edit: By the way, I agree about wanting Android apps. I can't remember what I feel like I'm missing now - I must have learned to live without them.

I might not be as thorough as others on here in my password manager setup, but I don't think my password manager setup is as phishing resistant as passkeys.

Fairly frequently, I find myself searching for the password manager entry I want, and copying the username or password.

For a while, I was very consistent in trying to fix the URLs for that password manager entry, every time it happened. But when I'm on mobile, sometimes it's just a pain.

There are quite a few scenarios - I'm logging into an app, and it doesn't use a browser window for authentication, but also logs out after a few weeks, I've been redirected to Microsoft or similar for the login, but I haven't added microsoft.com as a URL for my work login, or GitHub (I could be wrong about this example), etc.

When I list them, these reasons seem like I should have solved them already. I used to try to keep my password manager tidy, but when I'm at 674 entries and it's growing faster than I'm cleaning.

I also think Passkeys are a confusing mess, and I don't mind the idea in addition to a password/TOTP option, but definitely not instead. I do like having it as an option for Google, where I have occasionally encountered a scenario where I login from overseas, and can't login despite having everything they can possibly want (username, password, backup email, etc.). I can't remember the exact details now, so I hope I'm not being uncharitable to Google's login/lockout process, but I doubt it!

Am I the only one who wishes this had a USB port? I get frustrated with very capable devices not offering a USB port to plug in a USB drive. It's already plugged into the TV, and TVs usually have such awful software that I usually want to avoid using the built in video player. The number of times I've lugged a laptop somewhere when there is something perfectly capable that doesn't allow me to do what I want.

Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, ... I'm sure I had more examples. Both obviously capable of playing a video file, but it is not built into the software.
