> When it comes to policy decisions generally, and with technology platforms specifically, all we can really ask is that a policy be coherently stated and implemented in a uniform fashion. You may dislike said policy, but at a minimum it should be legible and enforced sensibly. Take, for instance, Apple’s updated policy on allowing emulation apps on its iOS platforms. While Apple traditionally disallowed such apps in its App Store, the recent change has finally allowed for the legal use of emulator apps designed to let people play “retro” or homebrew games via emulators.

Best app to watch YouTube on Apple devices
Hello, sorry for being inactive for a long time I was in a very busy period in exams!
Today I would like to introduce you to an incredible application: Yattee. It simply allows you to watch YouTube without ads, without sponsored messages, with an interface based on Swift for an Apple native experience.
Combined with an application like Redirect Web for Safari (https://apps.apple.com/en/app/redirect-web-for-safari/id1571283503), you can redirect all YouTube links to Yattee!
The best part is that it is available on the App Store for free. The magic comes from the fact that the application does not go through YouTube directly but through an instance based on Invidious or Piped.
I put the download link here for those who are interested: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1595136629
To watch videos, when starting the application, go to the settings at the top left, click on Instances, then Add an instance, give the name you like (ex: Amazing Instance) and choose a link from these two lists:
Https://docs.invidious.io/instances/
Https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
Choose what you prefer between Piped and Invidious. I took the instance https://invidious.reallyaweso.me because it is based in a country close to mine and Invidious is known to be stable.
On the instance you have chosen, you can also create an account on which your subscriptions and playlists will be synchronized. So if like me you only use a Google account for YouTube, you can get rid of it. The only thing you won’t be able to do anymore is write comments and publish videos.

Best Extensions for Safari?
What do you think are the BEST extensions for Safari? Or do you use another browser? Here are mine that I am currently testing:
-
Wipr / Adguard (while Adguard is complete, it is very energy-hungry. On the Wipr side, it blocks all ads but lacks Cookie windows for example)
-
Unsmartifier (to block App store ads on certain web pages)
-
Redirect Web for Safari (the app seems to be great but doesn’t work, surely because I use the beta version of iOS 18, there I can’t be sure)
-
Qwant for Safari (I like this search engine and it recently got an update integrating an AI response to Google)
And you, what do you use?

> Or, Old Tech, an addendum. > > Apple Intelligence is AI for the rest of us. (Get it? Now Apple owns AI!). It is more personal, because it is, to quote apple: “grounded in your personal information”. That’s a crazy statement, boss. I really love when tech companies ground themselves in my personal information.

Navigation on the bicycle?
I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro and want to buy a bicycle after moving to a new city. Do you recommend a phone holder for my bike or Apple Watch for navigation purposes? I don’t own a watch yet but I can see how it would make sense on a bicycle. I just don’t know which solution is best. I probably would have to bring my phone regardless. Do you guys have any recommendations or suggestions or experience with navigating using the Apple Watch on a bicycle? I read the GPS quality on a watch can change depending on the mode. Then again I probably would bring my phone anyway and maybe the watch can use the phone gps signal.
