      Yesterday, I tried Apple&amp;#39;s new Hearing Test feature with my AirPods Pro 2.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It turns out I have mild hearing loss in one ear. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t expect much from the hearing assistance feature, but when I turned it on I noticed the difference IMMEDIATELY &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I encourage everyone to give it a try. Whether you think you have hearing loss or not, you can establish a baseline and track it going forward.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here&amp;#39;s what it&amp;#39;s like to hear better thanks to my AirPods:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.macstories.net/stories/what-its-like-to-hear-better-with-airpods-pro-2/&#34;&gt;https://www.macstories.net/stories/what-its-like-to-hear-better-with-airpods-pro-2/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://cdn.macstories.net/media_attachments/files/113/390/770/601/047/372/original/6ea83b02242d0ec0.jpeg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      Capcom has added an online DRM check to its Resident Evil games on Apple platforms, which makes these games worse for people who already bought them. I&amp;#39;m wondering if any developers have a theory about why they would do this when I&amp;#39;d think they could simply check StoreKit receipts to determine DLC ownership. &lt;a href=&#34;https://toucharcade.com/2024/08/27/resident-evil-iphone-15-pro-online-drm-update-purchase-history-check-7-biohazard-village-4-remake/&#34;&gt;https://toucharcade.com/2024/08/27/resident-evil-iphone-15-pro-online-drm-update-purchase-history-check-7-biohazard-village-4-remake/&lt;/a&gt;

      Yesterday, I wrote two stories in our &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1g6dz8nwy34840znam5dkfrdlcp6wmhytaa3yxefp2mt46wg2ykzqxzc2lp&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;ClubMacStories&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1g6d…c2lp&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; email newsletter, neither of which mentioned or linked to &lt;br/&gt;@gruber.
