    However, there is one thing I find interesting and that is the privacy section of the above link.
    If that is true, then Apple Maps takes a different approach to, for instance, Google Maps. Particularly this part intrigues me:

          It’s a start. But not happy yet. The HDMI output is too low quality, so the idea to be able to stream without using AirPlay is not working, it looks crappy. Also, control is a thing, can I control the iPad remotely? I tried “control nearby devices” but that is rubbish. Is there some other, better, way to control an iPad remotely from an iPhone or other iPad?

Sure, you don’t want to vibe code, let’s say, a new Social Security database, but apps for personal use? Why not? Perhaps Apple could add a lower tier developer license or a higher iCloud Pro tier to allow personal apps that can’t be distributed but could be shared like Shortcuts. We could exchange apps as recipes instead of as cakes, while the App Store serves those who can’t bake.

                                  AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

                                  Big tech companies are reviving cartoon mascots to humanize their brands and deepen customer connections. Microsoft introduced “Mico,” a friendly blob avatar for its Copilot AI, while Apple’s blue‑and‑white “Little Finder Guy” appears in promotional videos for its laptops. Experts note that mascots can boost market share and create lasting, warm brand associations, especially when they tap into innate responses to baby‑like features such as large heads and big eyes. Tech giants like Google, Reddit, Mozilla, and Duolingo have also refreshed existing characters or launched new ones, using them to personalize AI interactions and drive social‑media engagement. Critics, however, warn that the trend coincides with rising mistrust of tech firms and raises concerns about persuasive, one‑to‑one AI communication that could feel “creepy.” Despite this, companies report encouraging feedback, and the resurgence of mascots—now extending beyond tech to publishers like Penguin—suggests brands see them as effective tools for building familiarity and loyalty, even as some consumers remain skeptical of their appeal.

Discovery will combine HBO Max and Paramount+ into a single service, though HBO’s production arm may retain some independence; and Spain’s Movistar Plus+ named Alfonso Gómez Palacio—an outsider to audiovisual— as CEO, pointing to tighter financial discipline after a rapid turnover of leaders. Collectively, these changes suggest each platform will adjust its strategy—whether through broader integration, content diversification, or efficiency drives—to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive streaming market.

Daiwa upgraded Apple to Outperform with a $325 target, citing its strong ecosystem. UBS raised KE Holdings to Buy, citing upside in tier‑1 Chinese cities, while Argus upgraded Wendy’s to Buy ahead of a potential go‑private deal. Truist moved Sensata Technologies to Buy, pointing to a stabilized auto business and AI exposure. Bank of America reinforced its Buy stance on Micron and Nvidia, lifting Nvidia’s target to $320 and Micron’s to $950, driven by AI‑related memory demand. Additional upgrades included Concept Therapeutics (Buy, $72 target), Zebra Technologies (overweight, $305 target), CoinShares (outperform), Akamai (Buy, $175 target), NextDecade (Buy, $11 target), Vestis (outperform), Unusual Machines (Buy), Heico (Buy), Mosaic (outperform), Venture Global (Buy, $17 target), and several others with price‑target adjustments and rationale ranging from sector strength to turnaround potential.

Can't figure it out. I think the dual GPU doesn't work in my favour. Guest system was for gaming. I tried passing both through but them sometimes the VM couldn't find one of them. Any hints?

While Foxconn confirmed that some North American factories experienced a cyber‑attack and are now resuming normal production, it has not verified the attackers’ claims. The breach underscores the growing trend of ransomware groups targeting supply‑chain giants that store both their own and their clients’ intellectual property. Nitrogen, linked to the ALPHV/BlackCat family, listed Foxconn on its breach site; its ransomware is based on “Conti 2” code and suffers a design flaw that prevents decryption even if the attackers wish to restore systems. Foxconn has faced multiple extortion attempts in the past, including high‑profile incidents in 2020, 2022, and 2024, highlighting the persistent risk of large‑scale data theft and disruption across the tech industry.
