What I do not understand is why there is not more press on this..

They literally did not budge and shipped the product as presented from months prior, yet, no coverage

Well this really debunks my common phrase “Apple is a Privacy company, not a Security company”

I can’t say I’m surprised they are implementing this (if true), under the radar. I can’t imagine a correct way or platform for Apple to share this rollout publicly. I’m sure nothing will come of this, press will ignore the story, and we all go back to our iPhones

Have to agree. Lived in seattle for about 4 years, and it’s my least favorite place I’ve ever lived when it comes to dining out and general food scene

Don’t forget talent. I personally would never move to Texas as there’s not nearly enough job opportunities

Reason number 368 why I've moved everything to Safari + DuckDuckGo. I still can't believe they won the suit with Genius and being caught poaching their content for their own representation

Hi Peter - My fiance currently works for a large tech company in the bay area, and is on a H1B visa currently. They would like to apply for their green card, but have been told by the HR that everything is on "pause", but they will continue to collect information in preparing the green card application. How true is this, and do we have any other options? To answer, no we do not plan to marry, though I know this can expedite things. Thanks.

I just dropped my left airpod pro replacement in the mail today. Fingers crossed this works, I had the right one replaced just three months ago for not charging. The "seal test" never works either for both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do agree these have by far been the most needy/buggy pair of wireless headphones I've owned in the past 5 years (Beats, Bose, Sony, Anker, B&O). Yes, I own a lot of headphones

I've always been curious of picking up a pair of bluetooth B&O buds, but as an Apple user - the W1/H1 chip for constant pairing with no interference in high traffic areas (subway, city streets) is huge

You're kidding right? There's SFPD/SFMTA workers everywhere diverting traffic. There's even a long thread on reddit of everyone thanking everyone out there doing all this work.

I rode in this morning and they were all there again so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>especially when you are on a vacation.

This. I used to live in Seattle after vacationing there a handful of times, but after living there I found it to be one of the most least welcoming, racist, Progressively Elitist™ places I've ever lived (and I've lived all over the US).

It's easy to say "I will commit to making more meaningful connections with people/strangers today", but if this is not received or reciprocated; well...there's not really much you can outside of devoting more time in trying to breakthrough some sort of glass wall that some places have created an environment for. Which comes down to two choices in my book:

1. Fight through and prove yourself/others wrong 2. Go somewhere else that you feel will be more accepting
