Yeah this seems like an odd thing to paywall. In the web dev world where everything is free, it's a pretty crazy ask to ask people to tie themselves to a UI framework where I guess you're forever paying a subscription just to cont

My "favorite" tactless Windows update story in recent memory was when an update pinned a Copilot link to my taskbar. I unpinned it, then a few weeks later another update added the Copilot link back to my taskbar, but not as a pinn

I get the vibe that Apple doesn't really want people to use family sharing in the way a lot of people use family plans. Like, it's there so kids with their first iDevice can get some stuff from their parents, but once that kid is
