Apple Sports app promised star potential, but I’m benching it immediately

As a sports-obsessed Apple journalist, the reveal of Apple Sports, a dedicated sports score app, felt like a watershed moment, a fitting parallel to Lionel Messi joining the MLS. Yet, 24 hours later I’m left scratching my head, confused as to how Apple could launch such a barebones experience, and still waiting for a notification to tell me last night’s score. When I first joined iMore over a year ago, I thought up an idea for a feature that would pit my most-used apps on my iPhone against each other to determine the…

Apple says the iPhone 15’s battery has double the promised lifespan

Apple has updated the iPhone 15’s battery lifespan. The company said on Tuesday its latest iPhones can retain 80 percent of their original charging capacity after 1,000 cycles — double the company’s previous estimate — without any new hardware or software updates.

Air Canada must pay refund promised by AI chatbot, tribunal rules

The chatbot said the airline does offer discount fares and that Moffat could receive the discount up to…

The Promised Land review – Mads Mikkelsen stars in enjoyably gritty Nordic western | Period and historical films

The year is 1755. Captain Ludvig Kahlen (a steely, inscrutable Mads Mikkelsen) has little to his name beyond his reputation as a fine soldier, and his rather threadbare uniform. Now retired, the captain hopes to bring his soldier’s tenacity to a new challenge: the cultivation of the inhospitable Jutland heath, with the aim of founding a settlement and winning the approval of the king of Denmark. But the bleak, wind-lashed Jutland terrain is the least of his problems – he falls foul of the sadistic local landowner,…

The Promised Land review – Mads Mikkelsen is a Euro Gary Cooper in Nordic western | Film

There’s old-fashioned entertainment value in this tough, if faintly preposterous Nordic western, a muscular, brash and well photographed piece of work from Danish director Nikolaj Arcel, co-written with Anders Thomas Jensen. It’s adapted from the 2020 bestseller The Captain and Ann Barbara by Ida Jessen, which is itself loosely inspired by a true story from Denmark’s history about the retired 18th-century army captain turned farmer Ludwig von Kahlen.Kahlen got royal permission to cultivate the lawless and desolate Jutland…

The FAA has promised a ‘light touch’ on novel space regulations

Commentary: I rode 23 miles to work on an e-bike and saw the transportation promised land

Now in my fifth decade of moving around Los Angeles, I’ve accepted an immutable truth about living here: There is no shortcut to LAX.Since mid-2018, the Los Angeles Times’ newsroom has been in a building just south of the airport in El Segundo. Flying isn’t a regular part of my life, but working at The Times is, so if anyone knows a quicker way to travel from east of downtown L.A. (I live in Alhambra) to Los Angeles International Airport in rush-hour traffic, it should be me.My solution had been just to deal with it: Sit…
