Apple released three major new operating system updates today, following the release of iOS 13 for iPhones and iPods last week. iPadOS brings the changes and features of iOS 13 to the iPad, plus a plethora of new tablet-specific functionality as the iPad's operating system officially branches away from the iPhone for the first time. iOS 13.1 fixes numerous bugs and brings a few features to iPhones that were originally planned for iOS 13. And tvOS 13 adds Apple Arcade, new game controller support, multi-user functionality, and more to supported Apple TV devices.
This bug [...] may allow third-party keyboards to gain full access permissions — even if it was not approved. [...] The bug will be fixed in an upcoming software update.
A squid’s siphon helps it move, breathe, and discharge waste, so having the siphon in back makes more sense than having it in front. Now, the poor squid emoji will look like it should, without a siphon on its front.
Earlier today, Mac video professionals began reporting that their computers were crashing, and many attributed the problem to Avid’s Media Composer editor. The issue instead lies with a piece of Google software that helps keep Chrome up-to-date.
Version 1.2.13.75 of Google Keystone (Google Software Update) recently shipped with a bug that damages the macOS file system on computers where System Integrity Protection is disabled. Also known as SIP, the OS security feature helps “prevent potentially malicious software from modifying protected files and folders on your Mac.” This issue also affects Macs that do not support SIP (pre-OS X El Capitan).
One of my favorite things about Drafts is its quick adoption of the new OS features that come year-over-year. Not only are they quickly adopted, but they are well implemented, carefully considered, and provide increased capability for both existing and new users alike.
This year with the release of iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and macOS Catalina, Drafts gains an updated look, improvements to the interface and navigation, full iPadOS support, and greatly improved Shortcuts integration. While this may not seem like a big list, I can assure you that the new features of the app are fantastic, and have made a monumental improvement to my daily workflows.
The kart racer title for mobile is set in the Mushroom Kingdom, where players are tasked with racing to beat their rivals to the finish line using drifts and items to gain an edge. Players slide their fingers across the screen to turn, while tapping the screen unleashes stored items.
This announcement from Apple follows similar deadlines for iOS 13 and watchOS 6 applications.
I didn't think I will miss it, but I do miss the big album cover art on my iPhone's lock screen. Maybe one day, Apple will allow for customizations on the lock screen, with complications and what-nots, and we'll may get the big album cover art back, if we want to.
I still dislike Cover Flow though, and I'm glad it is (mostly) gone.

I'm currently in old-media phase. For my audio entertainment, I'm going through the Stephen Fry's audiobooks of the Harry Potter books for the first time, and I am enjoying having Stephen Fry's voice in my ears. For my video entertainment, I am going through all twelve seasons of Big Bang Theory, now that the sitcom is on Netflix. In this day and age, I still enjoy watching a traditional laugh-track-infused comedy show, although I can't think of another traidtional sitcom that I will want to watch after this.
And, of course, if you are a fan of Big Bang Theory, you will have already know what is going to happen to me. Yes, Sheldon has just unleashed a couple of Harry Potter spoilers on me.
