If there is no beta or RC this week, do you see real that UC is launched in the deadlines set by apple?

I don’t see it now. Unfortunately UC will be in early 2022.

I don't see it launched regardless of if a beta or an RC build is released this week or not.
And yet, they have not indicated that it will not be available. My working theory is that its already in 15.2 and just requires "activation" from the Monterey end of things. Will be interesting to see if we get 12.1 beta 4 today or not.

Plus we know it's already in Monterey, just not enabled in the menu to Devs. we also know it will be tagged as 'beta' to the public, a la iCloud Private Relay, so it won't necessarily require it to be enabled for Devs yet, it could just be enabled when they release to public, or something.

If they release UC as beta within a stable version, it would already be the confirmation that apple does not pay any care to its software, having so many months to test this function by the people who are supposed to be dedicated to it: the beta testers.
 
I think we will get an update early in the morning my time ( Sydney). I hope so bc AB is a killer, also battery drain. iPhone 13 mini here.
 
Pretty sure it will be next week, Tuesday or Wednesday. Would be a big surprise to get one today given the Holiday.
Of course, hope I’m wrong. ?

I have updated again with the ipsw to see if the aggregate log would generate me again, something that not only has not happened, but the scheduled summary of notifications has stopped working. it shows up, but without the new layout and I can't dismiss the notifications. The erratic functioning of iOS starts to be a joke in bad taste ??‍♂️
on the other hand, I find it strange that with the geave failure of the automatic brightness that the iphone 13 presents, they do not get anything.
 
Battery life has been absolutely horrible on my iPhone 12 Pro. I’m barely making it more than half a day before I need to charge.

And the same to you! It may be a holiday here in the US but we should all give thanks for the miracles of computing power and the positive impacts it has made to all people everywhere.
 

THANKSGIVING EXPLAINED TO THE FRENCH

Once upon a time there was an American named Art Buchwald.

A humorist and columnist, he lived and wrote here in Paris. Paris was still then the Paris of Gene Kelly and Singing in the Rain, and Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, and Gregory Peck, and Hemingway … etc etc etc.

At Thanksgiving of 1952 he wrote a column for the Paris-published daily International Herald Tribune (owned by the New York Times) to explain to the French what this annual celebration was about. For years and years afterwards the IHT reran the column on its back-page on Thanksgiving. Art Buchwald died in Washington DC on January 17, 2007, but thanks to him at least two generations of French now know why the Americans eat turkey today.

Here is what he wrote.

Take a moment to read it. You will love it.

Paris — One of our most important holidays is Thanksgiving Day, known in France as le Jour de Merci Donnant.

Le Jour de Merci Donnant was first started by a group of Pilgrims (Pèlerins) who fled from l’Angleterre before the McCarran Act to found a colony in the New World (le Nouveau Monde) where they could shoot Indians (les Peaux-Rouges) and eat turkey (dinde) to their heart’s content.

They landed at a place called Plymouth (now a famous voiture Américaine) in a wooden sailing ship called the Mayflower (or Fleur de Mai) in 1620.

But while the Pèlerins were killing the dindes, the Peaux-Rouges were killing the Pèlerins, and there were several hard winters ahead for both of them. The only way the Peaux- Rouges helped the Pèlerins was when they taught them to grow corn (maïs).

The reason they did this was because they liked corn with their Pèlerins. In 1623, after another harsh year, the Pèlerins’ crops were so good that they decided to have a celebration and give thanks because more maïs was raised by the Pèlerins than Pèlerins were killed by Peaux-Rouges.

Every year on the Jour de Merci Donnant, parents tell their children an amusing story about the first celebration. It concerns a brave capitaine named Miles Standish (known in France as Kilomètres Deboutish) and a young, shy lieutenant named Jean Alden. Both of them were in love with a flower of Plymouth called Priscilla Mullens (no translation).

The vieux capitaine said to the jeune lieutenant: “Go to the damsel Priscilla (allez très vite chez Priscilla), the loveliest maiden of Plymouth (la plus jolie demoiselle de Plymouth). Say that a blunt old captain, a man not of words but of action (un vieux Fanfan la Tulipe), offers his hand and his heart, the hand and heart of a soldier.

Not in these words, you know, but this, in short, is my meaning. “I am a maker of war (je suis un fabricant de la guerre) and not a maker of phrases. You, bred as a scholar (vous, qui êtes pain comme un étudiant), can say it in elegant language, such as you read in your books of the pleadings and wooings of lovers, such as you think best adapted to win the heart of the maiden.”

Although Jean was fit to be tied (convenable à être emballé), friendship prevailed over love and he went to his duty. But instead of using elegant language, he blurted out his mission.Priscilla was muted with amazement and sorrow (rendue muette par l’étonnement et la tristesse).

At length she exclaimed, interrupting the ominous silence: “If the great captain of Plymouth is so very eager to wed me, why does he not come himself and take the trouble to woo me?” (Où est-il, le vieux Kilomètres? Pourquoi ne vient-il pas auprès de moi pour tenter sa chance?)

Jean said that Kilomètres Deboutish was very busy and didn’t have time for those things. He staggered on, telling what a wonderful husband Kilomètres would make. Finally Priscilla arched her eyebrows and said in a tremulous voice, “Why don’t you speak for yourself, Jean?” (Chacun à son goût.)

And so, on the fourth Thursday in November, American families sit down at a large table brimming with tasty dishes, and for the only time during the year eat better than the French do.

No one can deny that le Jour de Merci Donnant is a grande fête and no matter how well fed American families are, they never forget to give thanks to Kilomètres Deboutish, who made this great day possible.

Well, voila!
 
Ollie The Newfie is just happy his Granny and Grandpa are here! So happy, he jumped on the sofa to be closer to them. Happy Thanksgiving!!
