The goodwill on Dearborn has a nice collection of 1910s-20s typewriters, all in nearly impeccable condition and fully working as well (from my testing, at least), all for $25-30

Get ‘em while you can!

With 26.5, you get ads in #Apple Maps. At least #Apple automatically opts you out of personalized ads. You Can't Turn Ad Display Off, however. Thank you Apple for making 26.x a clusterf%%k of bad design, an accessibility disaster, and now an exemplar for #enshittification(@pluralistic). When you upgrade to 26.5 and visit Maps, read the Advertising and Privacy link carefully. A good reason NOT to update. Can't tell you truly how disgusted this makes me!

I hope this BADLY damages Apple's reputation.
