iOS feature request: an app permission for Speakers (similar to Camera or Microphone toggles).

There are plenty of times I want an app to work but don’t want it suddenly blasting sound or playing audio in the background.

Right now the only options are muting the phone or trusting the app.

When disabled, the app can't make sound of any kind or steal audio.

Apple made a whole Passwords app and people still be saving passwords in Notes App. Why 😭

A cool feature would have been having it scan the Notes app for obvious password notes and a quick "Do you want to convert all these into something secure?" button. Maybe?

ai chatbots politically biased? here’s what the washington post found from testing:

Maybe the more interesting question is whether true neutrality is even possible for AI systems trained on human data.

Should an AI:

  • Present all major viewpoints equally?
  • Follow expert consensus, even if it overlaps with one side more often?
  • Explicitly argue both sides every time?

What would you consider a genuinely neutral AI?

iOS 27 tells you when you have just 1% battery left.

Super useful to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Adding one tiny feature → 3 hours later

“I’ll just add one tiny feature.”

Famous last words. 🫡

Liquid glass on a Phone Call in iOS 27 is crazy.

It looks like a physical button you wanna “lick”

Safari for Windows, yeah back in 2007!

Alright it’s VERY cursed but Apple actually released Safari for Windows in 2007 and kept maintaining it for a whole five years, lol.

Steve Jobs announced Safari for Windows at WWDC in June 2007, framing it as a way to get Safari’s engine onto Windows machines (partly motivated by the iPhone launch and wanting developers to build web apps for it).

Apple kept releasing Windows builds through Safari 5.1.7 in May 2012, after which they quietly dropped it.
