In Bay City, Michigan, 65-year-old Al Sager and 76-year-old Susan Guc were both content with being single their whole lives – committed to being uncommitted – until they both underwent heart procedures and were placed in the same cardiac rehab program.

@SteveHartmanCBS reports on how true love took the long way 'round, proving that it's never too late to find love.

@JenWomble @fetc @DA_magazine Thank you for supporting accessibility and wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Here’s a quick (touch) spin around the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XR display.

[FBI Cyber Branch @FBICyberBranch]

The @FBI and our partners are seeing malicious cyber activity targeting industrial refrigeration and cold-chain monitoring systems around the world. These systems help keep food, medicine, and other products at safe temperatures and are widely used across critical infrastructure sectors.

Attackers are targeting electronic temperature and refrigeration controllers, particularly in grocery stores and cold storage facilities. In at least one recent incident, attackers targeted refrigeration components at three foreign blood service facilities.

While this attack was unsuccessful due to the proper alert mechanisms in place, security weaknesses in unpatched or internet-accessible controllers can allow attackers to change system settings, potentially causing inventory loss and equipment damage.

The FBI urges organizations using these systems to take the following steps:

➡️ Take controllers off the public internet
➡️ Put access behind a firewall
➡️ Change default passwords
➡️ Learn how vendors configure devices
➡️ Set safe temperature limits
➡️ Ensure alerts reach the right contacts

For technical details and more information on how to protect these systems, read our advisory: https://t.co/706NrSgXIp

This is HUGE!

Until now, Siri only really understood a handful of things your app could do.
Everything else was a Shortcut users had to set up themselves.

If every app can expose its real actions to Siri, your app stops being a screen people have to open. It becomes a set of things people can just ask for.

Basically MCP for iPhone apps, built by Apple.

The apps that win won't have the most features. They'll have the cleanest actions.

CommunicationFIRST was honored to see an early screening of the feature film #BeingHeumann about the 504 sit-in led by our founding Board member #JudyHeumann (z”l). The film will be in theaters on Nov. 6, and on AppleTV starting Nov. 13. The Disability Cultural Center is also hosting a free online screening on Nov. 14. More info here: https://t.co/3mXE6tKfBl.

Its a good documentary, too.

Matthew Perry breaks down in tears explaining the most painful realization he had about his castmates on Friends.

“I was placed in some kind of spiritual guy’s office, and as we were done talking, he turned me around and said, ‘Just remember, it’s not your fault.’ I went, ‘What?’ He said it’s not your fault.

I said, ‘What do you mean it’s not my fault, I’m the one who’s doing it.’ And he explained addiction and alcohol to me. And he saved my life. Because I then knew that it wasn’t my fault, that I wasn’t weaker, it wasn’t my will that was screwed up. It was that I have this disease. The thing that always makes me cry… is that it’s not fair. It’s not fair that I had to go through this disease while the other five didn’t. They got everything that I got, but I had to fight this thing.

What if the text marks you draw in your notes could automatically adapt, even when your text changes in length or breaks into new lines?

We call it Smart Marks. Underline, circle, strikethrough or highlight text in any color with your finger or Apple Pencil and the Marks become one with your text.

Extra cool on iPhone Duo.

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

One of the most famous addresses in the world, 10 Downing Street in London, is home not just to prime ministers, but also to a 19-year-old tabby cat named Larry.

@HollyMAWilliams looks at how the official pet of the British leader’s residence and Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office has become a favorite to the press — and a political fixture whose nine lives have so far outlasted five prime ministers.

[Rick saban @kind_wizird]

This is without a doubt the best political “ad” I have ever seen. Using Waffle House to get you to vote Democrat is brilliant. Someone on Mayor Pete’s team knows what they’re doing

We’re glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You’ve gotta touch it to believe it.

[nxthompson @nxthompson]

It’s an exciting day at @TheAtlantic, where we unveiled a major update to our app. We rolled out a redesigned look, a host of features, and an entirely new architecture. In an age of AI, you need a great app and we’ve got big plans ahead. Here are some of the changes for today: 1/

Huge day for Creator Studio today.

Our new in-app assistants can help you get things done in record time. MCP allows you to bring your own agent if you want. And an open source format for Keynote (and Python library!) so you can create Keynote documents programmatically on any platform.

Super proud of the team. Hope you love it!

United CEO Scott Kirby joins @benthompson and me to break down the airline business: justifying big capex, how they do route planning, what other CEOs screw up, the Starlink decision, why everyone misunderstands the credit card economics, and lots more.

[Serenity Caldwell @settern]

OK so I might still be in Canada running iPhone Duo workshops but we're cool if I ALSO get excited about visionOS for a sec, right?

November 11. Cupertino. If you make (or want to make) immersive media, this is the event for you. Come hang out with us!
