Apple made a lot of changes to the Photos app in iOS 18. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways users can customize the app to their liking, too. For example, there’s one change I immediately made that fixed my biggest problem with iOS 18’s big Photos redesign.

Missing photos solved by changing the default sort method

Apple’s Photos app redesign made a variety of changes that could be considered controversial.

Seth Rogen‘s new Hollywood satire series The Studio was inspired by The Office, it has been revealed.

The show, which premieres this week on Apple TV+, sees the actor play an executive called Matt Remick, who is promoted to be the head of the fictional Continental Studios as the film industry undergoes huge changes.

Speaking to The Guardian, Rogen explained that they used The Office as a touchstone for the show, notably the boss dynamic.

“We talked a lot about The Office, which I love, and how the boss is the most tragic figure on the show,” he said. “Just because you’re at the top of the power structure, it doesn’t mean you’re less relatable or funny.”

But have you considered the possibility that it is, in fact, the first step of a carefully orchestrated master plan to revive American manufacturing, reduce the national debt, reconfigure the international-alliance system, and deliver the greatest geopolitical deal of the century?

That is the thrust of a new theory that has been gaining currency in Washington, on Wall Street, and in the financial press. The grand bargain that Trump is supposedly planning to strike has even been given a name: the Mar-a-Lago Accord.
