For users of Apple devices, do you know about Shortcuts, which is built into OS? I have been starting to explore some easy ways to setup phone and email tasks. Then I spotted this Music quiz as an example. Didn’t realise they could be this complex. Any interesting examples to share?

Negotiations at the Cop30 climate conference in Brazil were halted after a fire broke out in one of the conference venues.
Thousands of people were evacuated on Thursday after the blaze in a pavilion, with videos showing people running and shouting: “It’s a fire, get out”
