Use Apple Shortcuts to Build the Ultimate Daily Digital Journal

I started journaling in 2019. It's not that I love keeping a journal, exactly. It's more that I find my brain works better if I spend a little time dumping its contents onto paper every morning. This practice got me through 2020, an extremely difficult year, and I've kept it up ever since.My journal isn't advanced. I've got a few sections recommended by my therapist from around the time I started—there's a section I fill in every day with things I'm looking forward to, for example. I use another section to think through what I'm going to eat and other things I'm going to do that day. All of this is straightforward; I just use a template that includes headers for those things.But there's a bit of information I like to gather and include. Each day's weather, for example. I've noticed that I...

Apple claims Epic is trying to ‘micromanage’ its business operations in a new court filing

Last month, Epic Games filed a motion asking a California judge to hold Apple in contempt for what it claims are violations of a 2021 injunction relating to the company’s App Store practices. Now, Apple is asking the judge to reject Epic’s request, alleging in a new filing spotted by that the motion is an attempt to “micromanage Apple’s business operations in a way that would increase Epic’s profitability.”The original injunction by US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers required Apple to let developers provide an option for external payment methods, which would allow them to avoid fees of up to 30 percent on App Store and in-app purchases. Apple for developers in January that do allow linking to external websites for purchasing alternatives, but the new rules also require they get Ap...

Welcome to the Age of Technofeudalism

The tech giants have overthrown capitalism. That’s the argument of former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, who became famous trying to defend debt-laden Greece from its German creditors. Varoufakis has never quite regained the notoriety of 2015. But he has remained a prominent left-wing voice. After a failed campaign for a seat in the European Parliament in 2019, he plans to run again this June. This time, his adversary isn’t Berlin or the banks. It’s the tech companies he accuses of warping the economy while turning people against one other.Courtesy of Penguin Random HouseVaroufakis is also a prolific author; his 17th book, written as a letter to his techno-curious father, chronicles the evolution of capitalism from the 1960s advertising boom, through Wall Street in the 1980s, to...

6 Best MagSafe Power Banks for iPhones (2024): High Capacity, Slim, Kickstands

Here’s the low-down on the MagSafe standard and MagSafe power banks.What is MagSafe?MagSafe is the name of Apple’s accessory system that’s integrated into the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 range. A ring of magnets on the back of the phone (and in MagSafe-enabled cases) lets you attach various magnetic accessories, like a battery pack that recharges the iPhone wirelessly, so you don’t need to hold it or carry a cable.Does MagSafe reduce battery life?There isn’t much evidence that MagSafe charging negatively impacts battery health, but it is less efficient than wired charging and can sometimes generate heat, which may degrade your battery faster. But other factors are more important, if you want to preserve battery health (such as never fully draining your battery).What rat...

Soon, you could play Mario, Contra, and other retro games on Apple iPhones | Tech News

Representative image: Backbone One Controller for iPhone Apple has announced that it will allow video game emulator applications on iPhones through its App Store. Unlike recent App Store changes that Apple made to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Union region, this change will be applicable globally.

Essentially, it would allow iPhone owners to play older-generation video games from the likes of Nintendo, Mitashi, and more.
