I got a bit annoyed with SoftRaid when they went the subscription route (and also an issue with getting my license to work on a different Thunderbay enclosure). I’ve actually started using Apple Raid on a non-critical backup to test it out. No issue after about 6 months.

Do you have any links or information to back up this claim? It’s the first I’ve heard of this, and I can’t think of any obvious reason why Apple AI is going to be less secure than the rest of the OS.
That wouldn’t work because the emoji would then be too large compared to non-emoji characters. Line spacing would be messed up and the text flow would generally look bad. Emoji are supposed to be inline with text, not graphics that affect the text layout.

I’m finding the re-worked Health app on the phone… confusing (to say the least). They’ve tampered with things which weren’t broken.
Also, my custom watch face has been replaced with some face I’ve never seen before. Surely the fact I’ve customised a face suggests that’s the one I want to use. Update: Apple have deleted several of the original Watch faces. I absolutely hate Apple today.
Annoying!

Looks like Panorama X users should hold off on upgrading to Sequoia for a bit.
With macOS, I always wait until at least “X-dot-1”. At this time, 14.7 works just fine and I’m not tempted by yet more options in “15-dot-zero” in Apple’s never-ending “feature-bloat parade”!
That’s like the old rule for DEC VAX VMS updates. You only installed even number releases (.1, .3, .5, etc.)
I’ve held off on both Mac OS and iOS new versions, but did install iPad OS on one iPad. The one problem I’ve noted (posted elsewhere) is with ads going full-screen if I happen to roll the mouse over the ad. That’s VERY ANNOYING to say the least.
It’s also standard in the Linux kernel world (and many other areas). By convention, even-numbered releases are fully supported, while odd-numbered releases are development/alpha/beta versions.
If 1, 3 and 5 (to use the examples given) are even numbers in the Linux world, it’s even more curious (I almost wrote “odder”) than I’d realised.

There’s now a fix for the Panorama X problems with Sequioa.
One cool feature in MacOS 15 and iOS 18. A WhatsApp notice appeared on my Mac. I clicked it and my iPhone mirrored on my Mac with the WhatsApp app open and I could read and reply. I didn’t even have to touch my iPhone. Sort of nice.
