Eine App, um neue Freunde zu finden? Klingt schräg – dachte sich Input-Host Elma Softic. Kann man echte Freunde über Apps finden oder bleiben Verbindungen per Swipe oberflächlich? Freundschaft auf Knopfdruck? Was sich wie ein Marketingversprechen liest, ist für viele junge Erwachsene Realität. Input-Host Elma Softic findet das zuerst beschämend – und lädt die App trotzdem herunter. Schon beim ersten Match funkt es mit Lisa: «Wie Liebe auf den ersten Blick.» Doch nicht jeder Kontakt bleibt. Manche verlaufen im Nichts. Wie verändern Freundschafts-Apps unser Verständnis von Nähe? Und was macht es mit uns, wenn wir Menschen wie Produkte auswählen?

Send us a textApple devices are constantly recording user activity, yet few forensic examiners are making use of the vast amount of data these systems quietly generate. Apple's Unified Logs and Spotlight databases track nearly everything that happens on an iOS device, often without the user realizing it.Would you believe an iPhone can generate around 1.5 million log entries in just 15 minutes of regular use? These records include highly specific actions—such as the exact moment Face ID is used to unlock a device, when the phone is flipped face-up, or whether a user interacted with Siri or used the device manually. Despite their detail and reliability, these sources are often overlooked in mobile investigations.In this session, we'll show how forensic practitioners can process and search these massive log sets using open-source tools. We'll walk through examples of log entries that record actions like toggling airplane mode, launching specific apps like Facebook, or even detecting changes in device orientation. For investigators, this means direct, time-stamped evidence of how a device was used.One of the most valuable aspects of this data is its ability to help distinguish between user actions and automatic background processes. Was an app opened by the user, or was it a system event? These logs provide that level of clarity. We'll demonstrate how to isolate specific events from millions of entries and construct accurate timelines that reflect exactly what happened—and when.As part of our ongoing work, we're also focused on improving the accessibility and usability of these artifacts with incorporation into the LEAPPS.

SWIPE: A TWISTY PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER Sonya's fed up with bad internet dates. But she never meant to kill anyone. After a stressful day at work and a creepy first meetup, Sonya Romano goes on a mission: teach a lesson to the smarmy guys she's meeting on her dating app. But when one of them falls to his death as a result of her confrontation--a married man posing as a single guy--she realizes she's gone too far. Meanwhile, Jake Parker, former Pulitzer nominee, has hit rock bottom. His boss gives him an assignment: go under cover and produce a click bait story about dating apps. Things start to look up when another married man on the app is murdered, and Jake suspects that there may be a serial killer targeting cheaters. With Jake hot on her trail, Sonya races to cover her tracks, until they finally meet. Fighting a powerful mutual attraction but suspicious of each other, neither of them know that a deranged psychopath is closer than they think, and much more of a danger than either of them realizes. Can they figure out what's going on, before one of them is next?   TOPICS OF CONVERSATION How Swipe Was Born – The story's inspiration, how Bonnie Traymore and R.G. Belsky teamed up, and what made their co-writing process successful. Crafting Complex Characters – Building emotionally rich, flawed protagonists (Sonya and Jake), and how their arcs were shaped through collaboration. Modern Dating & Deception – Exploring the risks, absurdities, and emotional fallout of dating app culture, and how it mirrors broader social disconnection. Blending Thriller with Dark Humor – Striking a balance between suspense and satire, and navigating how far is “too far” in both tone and theme. Launch Buzz & What's Next – Early reader reactions, the book's success on NetGalley, and a peek at each author's upcoming solo projects and thoughts on a sequel.   ABOUT THE AUTHORS R.G.

In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert Croak and Austin Hankwitz share the blueprint for swiping smart; using your credit cards without going into debt. There's a handful of terms you must first understand if you plan to use credit cards wisely. In this episode, we cover all of them. ---

You've heard of the points guy, but this is the gift card guy, or as Larry Rubin calls himself, the gift card guru. This recording is aimed at marketing for both of our client subsets, private members clubs and boutique hotels. Usage, Revenue Streams, Departments Inspected And Enhanced Through gift cards, clubs and hotels can track usage of new and returning members and guests when given free money or points. Marketers can introduce a club or a hotel property at really no cost if the gift card is combined with a payment toward membership - many clubs already give statement credits to members who bring in new members, there's no difference with a gift card. Or a hotel, during a light time of year, can use gift cards to offer free rooms, adventures or services. All would add more revenue and find business they wouldn't have had otherwise. Rubin, who is president of SwipeIt.com, has been doing this for decades and now sees a new trend in which you incentivize the use of a gift card by giving another gift card upon arrival. Imagine getting a prospective member to the club through a gift card with funds toward a summer membership. Upon presentation and use of that card, that guest receives two free rounds of golf - no cart or caddie fees. An incentive upon an incentive. Pickleball, Hard To Monetize, Can Be A Revenue Stream With Gift Cards In what is fast becoming a digital domain, private members clubs, boutique hotels and resorts are turning toward digital wallets. Rubin uses as an example a new pickleball facility within a retail mall. Through gift cards available throughout the mall, possible new members were enticed to the restaurant and retail store within the pickleball facility, adding revenue. And here's a statistic we all know is true through our own use of gift cards: 90 percent of gift card users spend more than the value of the gift card. That's found money for a hotel restaurant, private club food and beverage outlet. or golf or tennis pro shop. Clubs are revaluating their marketing strategies. Through membership apps, newsletters, revamped websites and text and push communications, clubs should perhaps look at building already existing revenue streams, or possibly finding new ones, through the use of gift cards.

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to hide your recent searches from showing up when double-tapping the address and search field in a new Safari tab on iOS or iPadOS.Starting in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, your recent searches will by default appear above the keyboard when opening a new tab in Safari and double-tapping the address and search field. If you'd prefer your search activity wasn't so immediately visible, you can turn this off by going to Settings > Apps > Safari, and toggling the "Show recent searches" switch off. Note that this will only hide recent searches from showing above the keyboard in the address and search field; it won't hide them from your browsing history. For searches you want to keep truly private from others who can access your device, you'd need to either clear your browsing history, or use private browsing.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Hey, Apple Visors, Tyler here, with a quick tip for how to hide your recent searches in Safari on iOS and iPadOS.With iOS and iPadOS 18.4, when opening a new tab in Safari and double tapping the Address and Search field, your recent searches will, by default, be displayed above the keyboard.While some may find this convenient if they, for example, perform the same searches often, users may not want their search history so visible.To turn this off, you'd go to Settings, Apps, Safari, and toggle the Show Recent Searches switch off.And I'm going to demonstrate that now on my iPhone.Settings.Settings, Apps, Button, Apps, Selected, Section Index, Adjustable.And swipe down to S. And tap in the center of the screen.And since the search heading, where the setting is located, is above the general heading, I'm going to swipe up.Swipe right.Show Recent Searches, this is off for me.If it's on for you and you want to turn it off, just double tap.Now keep in mind that this will not prevent someone from going through your web history and seeing your recent searches.It simply hides them from the search field in a new tab.So when you open a new tab and double tap the search field, your searches will not show up there, but they still will show up in your web history.For things that you'd want to stay private from others who may be able to access your device, you need to do something else like use private browsing or clear your web history.Either way, I hope you found this tip helpful.Peace.
