Another advice for cooking pasta:

The water does not need to be boiling the whole time.

You can boil the pasta just 2 minutes, turn off the stove, close the lid and leave the pasta in the water for the rest of the time until reaching the desired cooking time, plus around one more minute.

The result will be the same and you would have saved round 80% of the energy.

This math doesn't account for the time it takes to get the water to a boil. Probably closer to 40% savings. Still, quite good!

Doesn't seem to work for me. I downloaded and ran on my Mac and proceeded to click the volume buttons on my iPhone but the count remains 0.

All that tracking data will be sent back to the mothership. First, Apple will deny that there's data collection. Then they will say they're keeping the data private. Then they will say it's being only being used for "anonymous tracking". Then it will come out it's being sold for marketing purposes.

"It will even offer "All Day People Discovery," which will track the user's proximity to others, drawing distinctions between work colleagues and friends."

That could be really useful for tracking down illegal immigrants, gays, and politicians meeting with lobbyists.

It will, most definitely, be end to end encrypted along with the rest of user data in the iCloud ecosystem.
