I must say, I’m not impressed with the recent changes. The constant promotion of Apple News feels overwhelming, especially when I have no interest in it. It seems like another nail in the coffin for user experience.
MacRumors should strive for logic, and this doesn’t align with the kind of content I expect from the platform. It’s amusing that the latest news item is weather-related. However, what caught my attention today was something unexpected.
My weather app frequently surprises me with its reporting, and today’s article was particularly fascinating. It discussed radio signals originating from beneath Antarctica. The fact that these signals have a low angle of 30° suggests they have traveled through thousands of miles of rock, which shouldn’t be possible according to our current understanding of physics.
Typically, rock absorbs these signals, yet these seem to behave differently from any known particle. This could mean we’re potentially discovering a new particle or even the elusive first signs of dark matter. Not bad for a weather app!
Nevertheless, I still prefer to seek out news on my own terms. If I wanted updates, I would do so independently. I can only imagine what’s next; perhaps news will start appearing in my email app because it’s deemed contextually relevant.
At least I can appreciate that there’s no over-the-top drama in how these changes are presented.
