  • My email provider allows for unlimited aliases. So, while I have 600+ email addresses, emails to them all end up in the same mailbox.

    The accounts for all the websites and services (with their specific email address) are in a KeePass database and they all have random passwords, too.

    The only small issue is when you have to contact support of some service. Then, I have to configure the specific email address in my client so they can match that to my account with them. But most email clients allow multiple sender addresses without having to fiddle with the rest of the settings.


  • I don’t remember whether it was some news article or a discussion thread. But other people also suggested this might help during therapy and/or rehab. And they had the same argument in that nobody gets harmed in creating these.

    As for uses outside of controlled therapy, I’d be afraid it might make people want the “real thing” at some point. And, as others already pointed out: Good luck proving to your local police that those photos on your laptop are all “fake”.








  • If you’ve just enabled Apple Intelligence, it’ll also go through all your Photos and detect objects, faces, pets, POIs, settings, etc… Depending on the amount of photos, this can take a few days to complete. (Should only happen while the phone is connected to a charger, though.) During that time, some sluggishness is to be expected. However, after a few days, the phone should be snappy again.

    At least I can’t notice any such issues on my 16 Pro. And I’m using AI since it became available in the Betas here in the UK.
