If that was the case, they wouldn't need the age-verification for "adult" features, because there would be no "adult" features. Right?


But you cannot change it to behave as a single key (i.e. Ctrl), only what the shortcut associated to it does (Shift+Win+F23 IIRC).

Yes. As you say it maps to a key sequence, not a scancode. Additionally, it maps as a rapid key-down sequence followed immediately by key-up, so it cannot be remapped to a modifier key, such as right control (which it often takes over from on laptops).

There are ways, which involve using a software trap to capture it and then emit right control for a set period of time, but that's a workaround rather than a real fix.

Some security updates.

Note: Because of dependency on architecture and system changes to any current version of Apple operating systems (for example, macOS 26, iOS 26 and so on), not all known security issues are addressed in previous versions (for example, macOS 15, iOS 18 and so on).

Fairly certain 1930s Germany ranks higher in this regard by quite a margin.


As I understand, 1930s (and 1920s) Germany was not a desirable place due to the losses from WW1.

I meant more of a place where things are mostly going OK (compared to most other places), and resources (human and natural) are available, so any failure modes have to come from within.

Germany flipped over the boardgame while losing, but USA flipped it over while winning.

"Allegedly unrelated to the apple card, your appleid just gets locked if you don't fulfill a trade-in."


That xeet can be used as a rough draft for "Files in the Cloud", the sequel to "Snakes on a Plane".
