Apple Confirms iPhone Decision—You Must Upgrade iOS 18 To iOS 26.2 Now
Apple Confirms iPhone Decision—You Must Upgrade iOS 18 To iOS 26.2 Now
Apple issues an upgrade now warning to millions of iPhone users. iOS 18.7.3 is not available.

I can't say this strongly enough: DO NOT UPGRADE to IOS 26 without reading the hundreds of reports claiming that long deleted Mail messages and Message messages are completely restored along with the new OS.
Either you delete them all one by one again, or reset the phone. READ. Where they been kept?

Correction: It would lead to impeachment in a democracy, or in any country with a socially-sophisticated population. America has neither.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

I finally finished the entire (released) Game Changers series. I loved it over all; a couple of the books seemed to move slower and have less relatable characters. I saw a lot of myself scattered across the characters and finally let myself feel those emotions. I can’t wait for the new book in Sept.

As far as NSF is concerned, when it comes to postdocs, biology is only worthwhile if it’s AI now. If there’s a clean break for saying America is no longer a country where it’s possible to do science, I think this is a pretty good death date
