Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI

Homomorphic-based Enhanced Visual Search is so privacy-preserving, iPhone giant activated it without asking

Oh _lovely_. Everyone go turn this off:

Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. We apply homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and use an OHTTP relay that hides [your] IP address. This prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos. You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search at any time on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.

Shinso 'proposed' to izuku with 25 cent rings he got from a coin machine on random Tuesday morning

At this point in time they were still just friends and were only playing around, still they both wore the rings proudly on their left hand

They didn't even fit, they had to cut the cheap metal with scissors so they could stretch the ring over their fingers. They also asked mina to borrow clear nail polish to coat the rings in because the cheap material was staining their hands green

They jokingly referred to the other as their fiancee and when they got into small playful arguments they would occasionally 'call off' the engagement only to immediately apologize and 'propose' again

During this time Shinso realized how much he loved the sight of a ring on his finger. It was a toy ring that definitely looked the part but he just fell in love with the way the painted gold caught in the sunlight

He loved talking to izuku and seeing their matching rings together. It's stupid but his little joke about proposing with 25 cent rings made him realize his feelings for the other boy

So shinso began to save up money, and when he finally had a good amount he went out and bought two rings. Rings made out of silver that actually fit and wouldn't stain their fingers. Promise rings.

He presented them to izuku on a weekend when they were hanging out in one of their dorms just talking. He prepared a whole speech about how the toy rings made him realize how he really felt and that he wanted their relationship to be real

I'm imagining a scenario like "I'm not ready to get married right now, were too young to even be thinking of marriage right now, but one day I hope to propose to you with real rings made out of real rings. For now, I hope you'll take these, a promise of a future together."

finding out making up whole detailed scenarios with fictional characters in your head is a “sign of mental illness”

Do you think when Damian first arrived at Gotham and to the Wayne Manor, he got an ick because Americans wear shoes indoors? Imagine him automatically starting to take off his shoes, searching for slippers, and realising that everyone just... walk around in their boots... without a care in the world?

Dick, jumping on the coach with his converses, straight from the street: So, watcha doing?

Damian, with his eye twitching: ...Why would you do that.

Damian, entering Tim's room to announce that the dinner is ready: Drake, Alfred had-

Tim, laying on his bed in his shoes peacefully:

Damian, through his gritted teeth: Unbecoming.

Tim: I JUST BREATHED
