Bit of a left-field PSA this, but… if you own an iPhone/iPad in the UK and:

- you DON'T own a credit card
- you DON'T have a driving license
- you have NOT had your Apple account for more than 18 years

…don't upgrade to iOS 26.4 if you want to install (or some cases, use) 17+ rated apps or stream 18+ films/tv on itvX, netflix, etc.

The update adds mandatory OS-level age verification to meet UK law and Apple doesn't currently accept passports (!) to prove age.

I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.

iOS 26.4 is out. It fixes one issue of the 25 privacy leaks I reported. I had no idea Apple would attribute it to the Accounts framework. I think it’s time to update my fingerprinting on iOS blogosplat.

we went to a short beach called “short beach”, and i don’t know if i’ve ever been on beach that’s all rocks instead of sand

the sound the rocks made as the water retreats and the stones shift and collide sounded like soft crackling thunder to me. i was grateful to discover a new sound
