I’m So Frickin’ Sick of These Cups
Posted in: Today's Chili
Every few years there is some terrible new status symbol that becomes ubiquitous and, thus, inescapable. Several years back it was those dumb Canada Goose jackets that retailed at prices of up to $1700 and made everybody look like Death Star employees.

Mere days after Alphabet and Google CEO Sudar Pichai warned of more job attrition this year, the company is shedding more staff, at its moonshot lab. Alphabet is also restructuring X (not to be confused with what used to be called Twitter) to make it easier to spin out projects with backing (read: money) from outside investors.
X division head Astro Teller told staff in a memo that the company was “expanding our approach to focus on spinning out more projects as independent companies funded through market-based capital.”

Apple launches iOS 17.3, including the new Stolen Device Protection feature
An iPadOS update has the same.
iOS 17.3 is available to install now, and while it’s not shaking things up too much, it does have Stolen Device Protection. The feature first popped up in the developer beta of iOS 17.3, and it’s actually pretty handy. If someone steals your iPhone or iPad, and you’re updated to OS 17.3, you can lock them out of the system by forcing Face ID or Touch ID access. This works even if they have your passcode. The update also has AirPlay hotel support, optimized crash detection and collaborative playlists on Apple Music — something I’ve been waiting for since my iOS 17 preview.
