- Apple has forced Japanese game Crabhouse, in which you literally build a house for crabs, to change its name over fears it would confuse users looking for online audio chatroom thing Clubhouse. (Japan Today)
Apple is 100% convinced its customers are morons and behaves appropriately.
- Kernel threads are not markedly heavier than coroutines. (GitHub)
I just tried starting up 50,000 threads in Python under WSL1 and it turns out you can't - looks like a 32k thread limit by default. That looks like it's either WSL or just limits.conf, rather than Windows, because I was watching YouTube while I did that and it wasn't fazed in the least.
On the other hand, before I could finish writing this post, the Chrome tab crashed under the weight of the YouTube chat feed.
- If your app is secure you will be arrested, it seems. (Bleeping Computer)
Maybe there's more to this, but there is nothing in the article that indicates any direct criminal activity, rather than just providing a secure platform that criminals made use of.
- Apple has killed the HomePod - though not the HomePod Mini - severely distressing all 17 users of the device. (Thurrott.com)

It would be fun to see apple grovel over the "only racists assume asians can't tell the difference between l and r". I mean, it would be more fun to see them forced into bankrupcy and their horrible employees sold into slavery and Tim Cook's eyes being eaten by crows, but I'll take what I can get.
Also, I would totally play a game named "Clabhouse"
