Detachable and reattachable Apple Watch protective glass
I go rock climbing occasionally and have never taken off my Apple Watch for the occasion. Despite my caution, I have occasionally gotten stuck on a climbing hold during a movement and have given the Apple Watch a hit - fortunately without consequences so far. I've temporarily put bulletproof glass on the display, but I gave it up for two reasons:
1. For me, every glass seems like a foreign body on the watch.
2. There are no reasonable armored glasses that effectively protect the rounded edges of the display.
And overall, I couldn't get used to having a protective glass on my Apple Watch all the time, even though I don't need it most of the time. I go rock climbing maybe once a week and do the occasional gardening that is really a display hazard. Otherwise my activities are relatively harmless for the Apple Watch.
Here you can see the LK protective glass next to my 45 mm Apple Watch 8 (Photo: Sir Apfelot).

The solution: protection that can be removed
I'm looking for a protective cover like the one you know from the iPhone clip-on cover from the company LK encountered This consists of a clear protective glass (not sure if it's glass) surrounded by a frame, which in my case is black plastic. The practical thing about this Apple Watch protector is that you can attach it without removing the watch or even detaching the bracelet from the watch. This means that you can clip the protection onto the watch in a few seconds before exercising and then remove it again afterwards. Simply the perfect solution for me, because I don't really want permanent protection, but I can protect the Apple Watch from damage all around if necessary. And I like the quick attachment and detachment so much that I use the protective cover for the Pick of the week free.
The case is open at the bottom and can be clipped onto the Apple Watch from above.

Here you can see the bottom of the Apple Watch with the case on.

When attaching the case, it is first slipped over the crown and then pressed onto the watch. A process that only takes a few seconds.

Beware of dust and grains of sand
However, the protective cover still poses a small risk, because if dust or small grains of sand get lost on the inside, there is a risk that they will be between the protective glass and the display glass when you put them on the watch and scratch the display. To prevent this, the screen protector always ends up in the small bag that came with the product to protect it during transport.
There are two protective covers in one pack and here you can also see the small bags in which each protective cover is packed.

Operation in the swimming pool not possible
I haven't tried it, but the manufacturer noted that while you can take the Apple Watch into the water with the case on, it won't work even if you're out of the water again because of the water between the protective glass and the display collects. Due to the water in the gap, the touch controls no longer work properly, but this can be quickly remedied by removing the protective cover and drying the display glass.
The watch with the protective case is not as pretty as before, but the protective function is definitely good.

LK protective case for Apple Watch
LK's protection comes in a number of different colors and can be purchased for the 41mm Apple Watch and the 45mm model. If you want to check out LK's clip-on Apple Watch protection, you'll find it here at Amazon or via this product box:

When does WWDC23 take place and what will be presented?
Like every year, the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) will certainly take place again in June this year at Apple. But when is the WWDC23 date? From when to when can developers get advice, exchange ideas, get help and take a first look at new operating systems? Below you will find the latest information and rumors about it. This article also provides an overview of the systems and devices that will be used as part of the kick-offKeynote (could) be presented at WWDC 2023. Have you picked up any other rumors or are you looking forward to certain releases? Then please leave a comment!
When is the WWDC23 date? In which week of June will the Apple World Wide Developers Conference 2023 take place? What is presented? And will it be an on-site event? Here you will find the latest information / rumors about it.

When will WWDC23 and its keynote take place?
The Apple World Wide Developers Conference usually takes place in the first half of June each year, often in the first full week of the month. Possible periods for WWDC23 would be from June 5th to 9th, 2023 or from June 12th to 16th, 2023:
- 05.06. until 09.06.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX: first full week in June of this year
- 12.06. until 16.06.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX: is also in the first half of the month
The opening keynote of this special working week, as the opening presentation with new content for the public, will of course take place again on the appropriate Monday (June 5th or 12th), most likely at 10:00 a.m. local time in Cupertino. This means that it will be broadcast at 19:00 p.m. in Germany.
Will WWDC23 be onsite or just online?
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, WWDC 2020 took place completely online for the first time. This was continued in 2021 and 2022. However, Apple has partially returned to on-site events in recent months. It is therefore possible that at least parts of WWDC23 will again take place face-to-face in Apple Park and its Steve Jobs Theater. Owing to cost savings but it may also be the case that this will not be the case. In addition, it is not yet clear whether the above-mentioned keynote opening the developer week will be broadcast live or played as a pre-recorded presentation. The latter has also proven to be practical in recent years due to Covid. If Apple invites you to on-site appointments, this will certainly not be the only way to take part in WWDC23. The iPhone maker would certainly get a lot of criticism and negative headlines if there wasn't a hybrid model that puts at least some of the content, sessions, expert appointments and stuff like that online. On the developer websites and via certain App-Contents can usually be retrieved from lectures, instructions and introductions to new technologies anyway. Through the official developer app Apple can also catch up on previous content from previous years. Do you plan to participate in WWDC23? How and because of what content exactly? Let me know by commenting below this post.
Which Apple operating systems will be presented in June 2023?
As every year, we can expect new operating systems for the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch to take center stage. These will again provide new, improved or otherwise changed functions in order to get even more out of the devices. In addition, new beta versions with innovations in the operating systems for Apple TV, the HomePod and the like will certainly be released again. These aren't always presented during the opening keynote, but are interesting as well.
- iOS 17 for iPhone and iPod touch: The new iPhone operating system iOS 17 could as well as iOS 16 come up with a few surprises in 2022. New design options, additional security functions, more efficient background processes and the like are possible.
- iPadOS 17 for iPad: The new iPad operating system, iPadOS 17, could bring new multitasking options, support for additional peripherals, new technologies for pencil use, and so on to the Apple tablet. But also completely unexpected things.
- macOS 14 for Mac: The new Mac operating system macOS 14 will certainly only run on Apple computers that have an "Apple Silicon" SoC (M chip). A further adaptation to the mobile systems as well as overlapping functions could be the focus. Maybe this year there will also be an integration of AI.
- watchOS 10 for Apple Watch: The new watchOS 10 watch operating system could bring new features for health and fitness if it follows the previous systems. A new training detection and / or new automations for the recording of training sessions are just as conceivable as new triggers for emergency calls or health reports.
- More systems: In addition, either as keynote content or only as beta versions during the rest of WWDC23, the new tvOS 17 for the Apple TV, the HomePod software 17 and so on. New smart home functions are conceivable for both of these, but also possibilities for networking in the house and with contacts all over the world.
Introducing the latest M2 version, the M3 chip and new Mac models
The introduction of new "Apple Silicon" chips could follow a certain cycle in the coming years. I already showed the train of thought behind it two weeks ago in the article “New iMac to be launched with M3 chip (+ more Mac news)“. The M23 Ultra could therefore be presented as part of the WWDC2 keynote, which could be accompanied by the presentation of the new Mac Pro and possibly a new Mac Studio. In addition to the latest M2 version, the M3 chip could also be presented directly, with a new iMac, MacBook Air and the like. Perhaps only the M2 Ultra and Macs equipped with it will be presented; and then the M3 in the fall. It remains exciting!
Also expected for June: mixed reality headset with xrOS
On the one hand it is said to have been postponed again and again, on the other hand Tim Cook himself is supposed to push for a quick introduction. We are of course talking about Apple's mixed reality headset, which is available as a VR and AR device under the name "reality pro"Or"reality one' could be presented. In addition to the new hardware, which is said to work without an iPhone, Mac or other additional device, there is also a new operating system. The name for this was always in rumor reports until the end of last year realityOS or rOS used. In the meantime, however, it is assumed that it will be called xrOS - for "extended reality operation system". That actually makes more sense.
How Apple is trying to prevent mass layoffs
Several tech companies, not a few from Silicon Valley in California, have made negative headlines in recent months by laying off more than 50.000 employees. But while Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Twitter and Co. are cutting the jobs and while the Silicon Valley Bank went bust is, since Apple seems to be able to keep the positions of permanent employees. In his “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman highlighted the underlying strategies. In the following you will find the most important points translated and presented in summary form.
Tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Twitter and Google are using layoffs to cut costs. Apple seems to be trying to go the other way. Savings are being made in numerous places to keep employees. Here you will find a summary of the known measures.

Apple's measures against possible mass layoffs
While the competition has laid off more than 50.000 people - in total almost half of all Apple employees - the iPhone manufacturer seems to be more secure in the saddle. But Apple is also struggling with lower sales, higher interest rates, the consequences of the pandemic and other problems in the market. The company is known for planning far ahead and acting extremely tactically. A wave of layoffs would be interpreted either as haphazardness on the part of Apple or as a sign that the economy is even worse than expected. What it will look like in one or two years' time cannot be predicted with any certainty at the moment. However, when looking at Apple's current measures, it becomes clear that many attempts are being made to avoid the fate of the other technology giants - and thus also (further) negative headlines about the workforce. In the following I have listed what Apple has been trying to do to prevent layoffs since last summer and what differences to the other companies have ensured that the iPhone manufacturer is currently in a slightly more stable position:
- Apple hasn't hired excessively in 2020 and 2021 like Microsoft and Meta - companies that are now having to lay off people and dismantle teams again because their plans didn't work out.
- Since the summer of 2022, Apple has been cutting costs in several areas and making processes more efficient so that they become cheaper.
- Bonuses for teams, which are otherwise paid out twice a year, are now paid out collectively in October so that Apple can use the money operationally for longer.
- Some projects, e.g. B. for upcoming smart home devices, are deferred so that parts of their funds can be used for research and development of more important projects.
- The budgets are now also being looked at more closely, and expenses or additional expenses currently have to be approved by senior managers.
- New hires have been completely paused in some teams, drastically reduced in other teams.
- In addition, some positions are not filled again if the relevant people leave the company.
- The possibility of moving employees to other departments or shop staff to other locations has been restricted, as this also involves additional costs.
- Last year, Apple terminated contracts with recruiters who were not permanent employees.
- In the last few weeks, contract workers from engineering teams and other groups have also been let go or their contracts have not been renewed.
- Travel budgets have been drastically reduced and business trips now require VP approval. In some departments, business trips have been completely discontinued.
- Managers also seem to be increasingly enforcing office attendance (currently planned for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at Apple). It is suspected that an excuse is being sought here to fire people who do not want to do this or who want to stay in the home office.
- In sales outlets, more attention is paid to the hours of attendance. It is also assumed here that people should be fired if they cannot work the required hours. Or they should be persuaded to resign, which would be cheaper for the company.
- In addition, hours should not be replaced in the case of sick leave. And Apple continues to do away with the "special sick leave" it introduced for Covid-19 illnesses. Anyone who falls ill with Covid must take regular sick days.
- The number of terminations is also said to increase in sales outlets – allegedly for standard reasons and not to force savings. Some of the positions that become vacant in this way are not filled again.
Mass layoffs cannot be ruled out at Apple either
Mark Gurman concludes his comments on the current measures, which seem to be working well at the moment, by saying that they certainly do not please everyone in the workforce. On the other hand, they are comparatively mild and an alternative to mass redundancies for the purpose of "normal" implementation of company processes. Certainly it can be seen as an advantage if someone is cut off from business travel and bonuses in the short term if that person can keep the job and probably continue to do it safely. But you should never say "never", because even the manufacturer of iPhone, Mac, AirPods and Co. is not safe from the real world. And the times when a visionary Apple CEO makes the world his own way have been over since 2011 at the latest. The last few years have shown that the world holds unpredictable scenarios (or scenarios that experts can predict, but not taken into account by the general public and the market) that mean extremely disruptive factors. Tim Cook, Apple's current CEO, has described layoffs as a "last resort."
Desertec - Desert electricity as a solution to energy problems
I just watched a video on YouTube about the "Desertec" Foundation, which is pursuing an interesting approach to meet global energy needs with renewable resources from the deserts of the world. This project has the potential to solve the energy problems of the future and protect the environment in the long term. Due to the focus on desert areas, The foundation also likes to be associated with the term "desert stream". With this article, I would like to simply give a rough overview of the foundation and draw some attention to it. At the same time, not only should the positive effects of the Desertec projects be mentioned, but also the possible negative effects are shown.
Desertec's website - A vision for a sustainable future through the use of solar energy in desert regions.

The vision of the Desertec Foundation
Desertec is a foundation that aims to use desert power as a solution to the global energy problems. It is based on the idea of building solar power plants in desert areas in order to use the enormous solar energy of these regions. However, Desertec does not want to build the solar parks itself, but rather contribute to the progress of these projects. Here are some facts about the foundation and the desert power projects:
- Founded in 2009 by a group of European companies and institutions
- The aim is to cover around 2050% of Europe's electricity needs from renewable energy sources in North Africa and the Middle East by 15
- Use of photovoltaic and solar thermal power plants to generate electricity
- Integration into a European and North African power grid
- Fun fact: 250 x 250 km of solar cells could cover the world's electricity needs
The development of costs and the spread of technologies for using renewable energies are basically going in the right direction (source: Desertec).
On the Desertec website itself, the foundation describes itself as follows:
The DESERTEC Foundation is a global civil society initiative with the aim of shaping a sustainable future. It was established in 2009 as a non-profit foundation that emerged from a network of scientists, politicians and economists from across the Mediterranean who together developed the DESERTEC concept. We are working on the rapid global implementation of the DESERTEC concept, a comprehensive solution that combats global warming, ensures reliable energy supply and promotes development and security. The DESERTEC Foundation team consists of people who believe that another world is possible. To turn the vision into reality, each team member works pro bono* to support the mission.
- We raise awareness of the advantages of DESERTEC and the energy potential of desert regions
- We promote the creation of the political and economic frameworks necessary for a global transition to renewable energy
- We support knowledge transfer and scientific collaboration
- Promotion of exchanges and cooperation with the private sector
* Pro bono is a Latin expression meaning "for the common good" or "voluntarily and gratuitously".

Why Desert Power?
The use of desert power offers numerous advantages for the environment and the global energy supply. Some of these advantages are:
- High solar radiation in desert areas enables efficient energy production
- Reducing dependency on fossil fuels and related emissions
- Promoting sustainable development in North Africa and the Middle East
- Potential for job creation and economic growth
challenges and criticisms
Despite the many advantages, there are also some challenges and points of criticism that are discussed in the context of the Desertec project. Here are some criticisms of the company highlighted by various sources:
1. Colonial touches: Some critics see Desertec as a colonial-era project in which resources from less developed regions, such as North Africa, are to be used to meet the energy needs of industrialized regions, such as Europe.
2. Underestimation of the energy transition: Some experts are convinced that Desertec underestimated the impact of the German energy transition, which fundamentally changed energy policy and infrastructure in Europe.
3. Internal conflicts: There were long-standing conflicts between the companies and organizations involved, which may have contributed to the escalation and failure of the project.
4. Dependence on politically unstable regions: Another point of criticism is the dependence on politically unstable regions in North Africa and the Middle East for Europe's energy supply, which could lead to uncertainties and risks in the long term.
5. Environmental Impact: Although the project targets renewable energy, there are concerns about the environmental impact that could result from building solar and wind power plants in ecologically sensitive desert areas.
6. High investment costs: The construction of solar power plants and infrastructure requires enormous financial investments.
7. Political and economic instability in some destination countries: The uncertainty and unpredictability of political decisions and economic developments can have a negative impact on investments, business relationships and the successful implementation of projects like Desertec.
8. Environmental impacts from the construction of solar power plants and power lines: There may be negative effects on ecosystems, habitats and animal species caused by the construction and operation of these facilities, including altering landscapes, soil sealing and possible disturbance to local animal populations.
9. Skepticism about the feasibility and efficiency of the project: Some experts and critics have raised concerns about the technical implementation, the cost-benefit analysis, and the actual energy and environmental impact of the project. Some assume that the desired goals may not be achieved or that there are more efficient alternatives.
Despite the points of criticism, there are many points that speak in favor of supporting the Desertec Foundation and the promotion of mega-projects in the solar thermal and photovoltaic sector will certainly continue to be a recommendable thing.

Summary
The Desertec Foundation offers a visionary solution to the global energy problems and has the potential to make a significant contribution to the transition to renewable energy. While there are some challenges and criticisms, it is important to continue pursuing innovative approaches like Desertec to achieve a more sustainable energy future. I hope that I was able to give you a little insight into the work and projects of the foundation.

Sir Apfelot newsreel week 11, 2023
Moment! Before you start the comparatively warm weekend, stay here for the new Sir Apfelot newsreel. This time I'll show you which Apple and tech news I noticed in calendar week 11. Below you will find these topics, among others: Silicon Valley bank failure and its effects, consequences of photo and video filters from social media platforms, volcanoes on Venus, Midjourney v5 with photorealistic results, HP printers continue to block third-party Ink cartridges, the legacy of Tim Cook and more.
In the Sir Apfelot newsreel for calendar week 11 of the year 2023 you will find, among other things, these reports: bankruptcy of the Silicon Valley Bank, consequences of image and video filters from social media platforms, HP printers blocking third-party ink cartridges, the rushed legacy of Tim Cook, and more!

Silicon Valley Bank collapse: Tech companies financially affected
The "Silicon Valley" in California is home to numerous tech giants, IT companies and start-ups. Until recently, many of them did their banking through Santa Clara-based Silicon Valley Bank. But now it is insolvent. According to several media reports, it is the second major bank failure in US history. in one Articles Golem shows the official letter from the bank headquarters door and gives further details. In addition, articles were published on heise online throughout the week: about here the impact on Etsy, Roku, Roblox and other companies who are not getting their money; or here on the possible impact of the bank failure on the iPhone manufacturer Apple.
"Beauty" filters on social media: Negative effects inevitable
Instagram, TikTok and Co. are always offering new filters for photos and videos. In addition to digital effects and funny gimmicks, there are also technologies that are supposed to make faces "prettier". From clearer skin to emphasizing certain elements, there's a lot going on. What influence this can have on users, especially girls and young women, is highlighted by heise online this week Articles. The long but readable report contains not only online observations, but also experiences of young people who use social media for selfies and use appropriate filter tools. Similar topics from the past few weeks:
- Study on the alleviation of psychological stress through digital detox
- New study reveals prevalence of cyberbullying among teenagers
New study proves volcanic eruptions on planet Venus
This week begins with an introduction that Venus is quite similar to Earth Post at Ars Technica. Accordingly, it is deduced that the interior of the planet must be extremely hot, which should be reflected on the surface by volcanic eruptions. Due to the fact that the atmosphere of Venus is permanently clouded, such eruptions cannot be observed easily; actually only by radar interrogations of a satellite orbiting Venus. Luckily, there is or was one decades ago. And the recent evaluation of recordings from the early 1990s shows that there was at least one recorded volcanic eruption. There should be new observations of Venus with satellites and probes in the 2030s.
Midjourney v5: AI image creation becomes frighteningly realistic
Midjourney is one of the most well-known and widely used technologies for synthetic image creation using text templates. Version 4 already showed some outstanding results, but the new version 5 surprises with extremely photo-realistic results and better hands. You read that right, because AI often has problems with its hands and five fingers when creating images. The new Midjourney should now be able to hand out realistic hands to even more realistic people. And the environment, various objects, textures and combinations of everything – including the lighting – should also be very good. Details and examples can be found e.g. B. with this link to Ars Technica.
AI-generated videos: YouTube is being flooded with malware-laden content
The use of AI not only leads to beautiful pictures - and even that often only by violating copyright. At the other end of the usage spectrum is the criminal use of AI. So e.g. For example, a number of videos created with artificial intelligence have been uploaded to YouTube that promise cracks for well-known and expensive apps. For Photoshop, Premiere Pro, AutoCAD and so on, false licenses are presented for free and alleged download links are given in the video descriptions. But these links lead to malware downloads. So if you want to use expensive software for free and look for solutions on YouTube, you run the risk of downloading malware onto your computer. Source and more details: Articles from heise online.
After 40 years and not for everyone: Insert text in Word with a shortcut without formatting
What I love about Apple apps on Mac is the easy way to copy text from anywhere and then paste it without the original formatting. In Apple Pages Can I write texts or pieces of text e.g. B. simply insert it in this way using cmd+option+Shift+V. In Microsoft Word I have to right-click, click "Paste Special..." and then select "Unformatted Text" from a list and confirm again. According to Microsoft should this now change with the shortcut cmd+Shift+V (or Ctrl+Shift+V for Windows PCs), from Word version 16.67.1113.0 (Mac) or newer or 16.0.15831.20174 (Windows) or newer . But only if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. I personally use version 16.71 with a retail license and cannot use the new key combination (as of 17.03.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX). In addition to the shortcut shown, other new key combinations for Word and all Office apps are shown in the linked source.
Third party ink cartridges: HP blocks third party ink through firmware update
In my personal opinion are inkjet absolutely out of place in the private sector as well as in many companies. There are a few use cases and certainly numerous possibilities for sensible use in companies, educational institutions and the like - but on the whole ink printers are just junk. And that's what the manufacturers wanted. They don't make the profit with the devices at all, but with the ink. That's why HP is once again blocking third-party ink cartridges, like iFun in one Entry shows. This time models from 2016 should be affected. We have more information and comments on the subject for you here: Why inkjet printers are the worst junk.
Press Releases: Latest reports from the Apple Newsroom
Since the last Sir Apfelot newsreel, there have been three publications in the German-language Apple Newsroom: two press releases and one feature. The various publications are about the Oscar that Apple TV+ received for "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse", and about the new video shopping concept for iPhones in Apple's online shop, in which an Apple person helps via video sharing (only available in the US for the time being) and once to "four women using apps and games to advance culture“. Here you will find the three messages:
- Apple TV+ wins Academy Award for The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse for Best Animated Short: Read here
- Apple Introduces “Shop with a Specialist over Video”: Read here
- Four women using apps and games to drive culture and create change: Read here
Securing the Legacy: Tim Cook is said to have brought the headset release forward
According to a recent report by the Financial Times, several media outlets are currently pick up, Apple CEO Tim Cook is said to have pushed the release of the long-awaited mixed reality headset. It is currently expected that as part of the WWDC23Keynote will be ready in June. According to the reports, the engineers, who somehow had to reconcile the special design specifications with the necessary hardware, warned against presenting too quickly. The possibly rash action could stem from the fact that Tim Cook wants to secure his Apple legacy. The AR and VR headset would be the first major addition to Apple's product landscape under his leadership. It's possible that Tim Cook is rushing because he wants to give up the CEO post in 2025.
