I just saw this post that clarified it was a fully automatic machine gun. Weapon of mass destruction sounds like a nuke, but from a legislative perspective, I can see how a fully automatic machine gun would qualify.

I don’t have any suggestions, but please post if you find any that you like! I’m hoping to make the trip to Iceland sometime in the next year and would love to add something like this to the list.

While there are some really cool things coming (spatial video, action button, etc), the only reason to recommend an upgrade this year is for Apple Intelligence features. If your phone is old and it’s just your time to upgrade, then it’s a great year for it. But if you’ve got a newer phone, don’t rush for the upgrade.

MDMs already allow business to manage security permissions for apps. I don’t see why this would be any different. If the company has an MDM, this change should have no impact on their users. If they don’t have an MDM, they really need to get one, not just for this, but a lot of other security and usability reasons.

This will really suck for users of personal devices, though.

As a mage, +3 is probably a fair stopping point, maybe +5 if you really want the higher end equipment. You need the upgrades for your staff.

For other classes, it depends. As a huntress, I’ll often stop at +11 or +13, depending on what level I found it at. Farming consumables and higher end equipment can be super fun! A +13 ring of wealth will provide +7 armor and weapons, which can easily be game winners. The higher level also will provide several scrolls of transmutation that I often use after dwarf king to get the ring that I want.

I’m honestly working on this challenge now. It requires changing your strategy from reducing damage via armor upgrades to avoiding damage at all costs. Avoiding damage is really hard to do, but increasing evasion by using cloth/leather armor and/or ring of evasion helps.

My successes with this one have been with mage and huntress. Both allow you to create a build with high damage at range, minimizing the chances to get hit. The rogue’s free runner class is also a good option.

I like the Mac Rumors articles that the Zippy Bot posted.

What do you want this community to be? A place to discuss news articles about Apple, or a place for users to bring their own discussion topics?

Personally, I’d like it to be both. I think refining Zippy Bot would allow this community to still have plenty of rumor and news articles. I do wish there was a better balance of user posts, though, for better discussions.

Any idea what those “updates” will be?

Looking forward to seeing some OLED iPads. Curious to see what they do with the Apple Pencil.

Really excited for this trinket! Can’t wait to play Warden with it. Honestly love the trinket idea in general.

What kind of wand did you imbue into your staff? I always recommend getting your staff to +7 so that it has 10 charges total.

Also, the ring of energy is really good with mage. Definitely upgrade that to +4, where it gives a +100% bonus.

Those two would take up 4 of your 6 remaining upgrade scrolls. I would likely out one into armor and one into your weapon, but it depends on the build you want to go with.

Security Now is amazing. For anyone that wants the deep dive tech perspective, plus what it means for everyday people and users, this is a great option.

Yeah I’ve had the same question since the last update. It’s not that the skill is worthless, but it went from overpowered to simply not worth it.

Wand of warding is one of my absolute favorites. If you level that up to +12, you can make 2 max level wards. I like it best with battlemage, to get the healing for the wards on hit. I know you said you don’t like it, but it’s very powerful even in late game.

Battlemage would also do well with wand of regrowth. It’s a slow pace to play as well as it ends up being a tank. I recommend trying it once as it’s surprisingly good.

I typically don’t use it, but I love it with certain glyphs or enhancements, usually thorns, shock, grim, or blooming (with warden).

If I find the ring early before enchanting my end game equipment, I’ll typically either just equip it (if I have no other ring) for safekeeping in case it comes in handy, or transmute it. I generally won’t sell it unless I have other rings that fit my setup better.

My team has a cost estimate for Azure Stack HCI as that was the winner for us. However, cost to switch is high and we’re just waiting for now. We will see if that waiting is a mistake….

I’m guessing it’s a little bit of both…

I always enjoy seeing cool seeds. Gives me a break from chasing high scores, etc.

I’ll give this one a shot. Thanks!

Looks great! Can’t wait for the TestFlight.

I love spatial audio itself, but I do turn off the head tracking. Leaving spatial audio on but turning tracking off gives the pseudo “surround sound” experience without the sound changing direction on you.
