From Apple, on Twitter, this morning: iPhone lets you choose which apps have permission to track you. PYBT for the scoop: Privacy.
Thanks to Andrew Zima for the tip.
Were You at the Meeting Last Night?
If not, you missed soooooo much useful and interesting stuff about the Finder; our brains nearly exploded. Sorry…
The Meeting after the Meeting involved faux boarding passes for Artemis and a future Mars mission, Palm Springs in the summer, WWDC speculations, Chris’ Zoom background, taking out the trash, and dinner at the Magic Castle.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

The Best Wi-Fi Routers
Wi-Fi is taking over our lives, or at least our houses; we need fast, reliable service, without having to worry about 75′ cables running through the house from the Internet routers to our devices, eh?
Wired feels our pain! Simon Hill posted a great article today on Wired, including LOTS of sub-topics, with links, to get us down the roaring road. PYBT: The Best Wi-Fi Routers.

If not, we’ve got a lot more to-do than you!
The Meeting after the Meeting brought up Thunderbolt monitor card stuff, Web cams on monitors, iPhones as Web cams, Belkin MagSafe issues, Google Mail getting charged for (no!), getting Apple certifications/training, how long had the MUG been meeting at the Pasadena Library, hybrid meetings, and astronaut diapers.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

If not, you missed a lot of cool info on a lot of cool stuff!
The Meeting after the Meeting got noisy and visible! Sound cancellation/emphasis in ear pods/buds; iPhotos into Photos; Samsung curved monitors; Mac Studio; and monitors, generically, are what consumed us.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!

At the Meeting after the Meeting, here’s what came up: Pegasus and the Israelis, battery usage, photos to iMovie, how does Maps navigation work with everyone using it all at the same time?, Spectrum and NordVPN, volume issues on Zoom, custard creme pie, updating software on AirPods Pro, IRS goof-ups, updating to iOS 15.3.1, dealing with Settings updates, sunshine coming through car windows, cocktail umbrellas, and what’s going on with Coco’s?
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
