@melgu Indeed. It would have been nice if the $3.9T-valued APPL had taken the design time to not have such end-user opaque messes of state that get in the way of basic operation of some of their bestselling products. But they can’t even provide a single place to set all volumes yet. “WiFi off” is now “soft-off ‘til you get to another spot” “Airplane Mode” hasn’t been an RF killswitch for a minute “Power Off” is “except for Find My”. Siri’s useless responses (since it only looks at the context of Settings instead of Control Center) reminds of the dialogue in https://www.et.byu.edu/~tom/jokes/ENGINEERS_&_MANAGERS.html ^_^ Cheers! — "Ford flipped the switch which he saw was now marked 'Mode Execute Ready,' instead of the now old-fashioned 'Access Standby,' which had so long ago replaced the appallingly stone-aged 'Off'."— Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

@bruces Have you seen anyone raising the news about Xwitter and Meta having blocked their "public" posts from WayBack machine archiving, and/or news outlet paywalls blocking the WayBack machine now allowing outlets to revise with no easy recourse?
