You found me - I was the one performing transgender operations of illegal aliens.
The AutoMix feature is definitely the highlight of this beta though. This is exactly the kind of feature I was asking for last year when Apple Intelligence was introduced. All processed on device so no natural resources are wasted, and while it’s not perfect, it’s made some crazy mixes #iOS26

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Honestly, I don’t think pictures do a good job capturing how the new Sky Blue MBA looks in real life. It’s a very pretty color though. #Apple #MacBookAir
