Good move by Apple.
There are plenty of things that annoying me about Apple software. Largely they are too concerned with looking cool fashionable so they prioritize cute changes over just having things work.
I want simple ways to retain what works when they decide to change things. So don't give me stupid less readable transparent junk, or if you do let me opt out. Maybe the latest iOS 27 will let u do that acceptably.
But they do lots of good stuff too, like this.…

Synergistic entrainment: a multiscale neurodynamic framework for closed-loop cross-modal neuromodulation https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11571-026-10503-6 Similarly, opt for timed hybrid use of brain implant and sensory substitution?

Synergistic entrainment: a multiscale neurodynamic framework for closed-loop cross-modal neuromodulation - Cognitive Neurodynamics
The brain’s higher cognitive functions rely on the dynamic integration of multimodal information, supported by coordinated neural oscillations. However, current neuromodulation approaches often fail to reliably control these dynamics due to high inter-individual variability and limited mechanistic grounding. To address this challenge, we introduce the Synergistic Entrainment Framework, which conceptualizes the brain as a dynamical system in which neural oscillations create periodic windows of…

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.
