support.apple.com/en-us/102651
It has a chart that shows all of the iCloud services and which ones are end-to-end encrypted and which ones are "In transit & on server." And what those two things mean.
iCloud data security overview - Apple Support
iCloud uses strong security methods, employs strict policies to protect your information, and leads the industry in using privacy-preserving security technologies like end-to-end encryption for your d...

Mac tip from my Patreon video today:
You can use the new Spotlight in macOS Tahoe to find and trigger menu bar commands.
Just search for the menu bar item. Use Command+3 to narrow down the search to just actions and menu bar commands if you like.

🕗 Mac Tip:
You can customize the time and date that show in the Mac's menu bar.
Go to System Settings, Menu Bar and look for the Clock Options button.
You can decide which parts of the time and date are shown, choose an analog clock instead, and even have the time announced every 15 minutes.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I was 100% "Team Carol," for individuality and freedom! Resist the joining and those fake smiles and niceness.

🛩️ Then yesterday I dealt with going through two major US airports for holiday travel.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Now I'd say I'm about 95% "Team Carol."

My prediction for Plur1bus:
This isn't a show about a world where everyone has been "joined."
This is a show about what happens AFTER everyone was "joined" for a short while and then becomes separated.
Season 1 is just the preamble.

WOW. 😮
Need a dose of irony today?
I'm working on a tutorial about iPhone Visual Intelligence.
Trying to show how to use it with a screenshot.
I invoke ChatGPT and it... um... gets it comically wrong.
If you don't know, the logo is from show in a sci-fi book about a "rogue" AI bot, not Star Wars.

Actually got some video of the aurora last night. I didn't realize it, but with my a7cr set to 1" exposure, when I took a video it used that 1" exposure and I got 2 minutes of that. Here it is sped up to 24fps. If I knew it would have turned out this good, I would have recorded longer.
