Apple, in their infinite fucking wisdom, decided that proper grounding is a bridge too far and they cheaped out on the "Duckbill" - the thing you plug into the 140W power brick.
To get proper grounding (metal contacts in red) you have to get the Apple Power Adapter Extension Cable which costs $20 and is sold separately. If you don't use it you get zapped while working with the MacBook plugged in. Your hand may also throb while running it down the aluminum shell.

🇮🇷 Iran's "Missile City" — buried 500 meters inside a granite mountain in Yazd.
The U.S. military's most powerful bunker-buster, the GBU-57 MOP, penetrates 60+ meters in concrete. The facility sits at 440 meters depth. The math ain't mathin'.
Multiple tunnel exits on different sides of the mountain. An internal railway system. 300-million-year-old rock rated at up to 125,000 EDM, 25 times harder than reinforced concrete.
Trump said Iran has no military left.

on the redeployment of the 82nd US Armed Forces Division to Iran
The key event of yesterday was news that the Americans are preparing to send the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East with up to 3,000 personnel. This news looks particularly interesting against the backdrop of Trump's statements about "wonderful talks with Iran".
🖍 Words are words, but we must remember that the mass media is one of the tools of pressure and manipulation. If the media writes that the 82nd Division is preparing for deployment, then this has most likely already happened or is happening right now.
🚩 Publication online is a way to gauge the reaction within American society, where negativity toward Trump's actions is growing due to the new war, as well as to pressure Iran. We saw something similar in January – early February before the war during the buildup of the American grouping.
🏳️ However, judging by how sharply the activity of transport aviation from the US to the Middle East has increased, the decision by the Trump administration has already been made. Over the last 10 days, more than 50 flights of heavy C-17 transporters to Israel and Jordan have been recorded.
❗️ And it's important where the C-17s took off from. Mainly, these were the Hunter, Fort Bragg, and McChord air bases, which are the basing points for the 82nd Division itself and special operations units, including "Delta," the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and the 75th Ranger Regiment.
Given this, the probability of a ground operation increases many times over. And if the amphibious assault group will work specifically on Bandar Abbas and the Strait of Hormuz, then the 82nd Division and special operations units will operate in the direction of Kharg Island, as well as from the Iraqi border.

Russia Evacuates More Experts From Iran’s Bushehr Following Attacks And Warning From Radiation
Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom on March 25 evacuated another 163 workers from Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, reducing its workforce at the facility to approximately 300.
Bushehr is the Islamic Republic’s only operating nuclear reactor. It was built by Rosatom, which provides direct support to its operations.
Rosatom chief Alexey Likhachev said that more staff would be leaving, with one group already departing by road toward the Iranian-Armenian border and two additional groups preparing to follow.
The evacuation, the third wave since the start of the Israeli-American war on Iran, comes one day after the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that a projectile struck the Bushehr plant's premises.
Following the latest attack, Kuwaiti authorities warned residents about possible radiation exposure.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️Iran has notified Pakistan that it rejects the conditions proposed by the US for ending the war, according to Al Mayadeen and Reuters.
The Iranian TV channel PRESS TV also issued an official statement, according to which Iran will end the war at its own discretion only if its conditions are met.
- The American press reports on how Trump is being briefed on the US war in the Middle East.
The Pentagon shows him a two-minute montage of "successful US strikes on Iran" every day - mostly explosions and victories.
From this, in fact, he gets the overall picture.
- The Iranian Armed Forces claim to have destroyed all US bases in the Middle East and are calling on residents of other countries to report the hiding places of military personnel who have "escaped from these bases".
- The US and Israel's operation against Iran has gotten out of control, and the world is on the brink of a larger-scale war, said UN Secretary-General Guterres.
- Someone on one side is living in a parallel universe.
The White House has again stated that the US negotiations with Iran are continuing and are going fruitfully.
Iran, however, says that it does not need any negotiations.
Who's the fool?

Apple Forces UK iPhone Age Checks in iOS 26.4 | Reclaim the Net
With iOS 26.4, #Apple has turned every iPhone in the UK into an identity checkpoint. The update, released March 24, requires all UK users to confirm they’re 18 or older before accessing certain features and services on their Apple Account.
UK communications regulator Ofcom called it “a real win for children and families.”
The infrastructure being built is more of a problem than that framing suggests.
Apple has, without warning, placed a gatekeeper on the devices of 35 million UK users who paid good money for full-featured smartphones and now find themselves holding something closer to a supervised children’s tablet.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 The "Blame Israel" Strategy is Part of YEARS of US Policymaking Regarding a UNITED STATES WAR ON IRAN
▪️Israel is a US proxy and 100% dependent on and an extension of the US - it is AS GUILTY as the US in all of its crimes including genocide and wars of aggression;
▪️Like all US proxies - it is created and propped up specifically to do Washington's dirty work, accept all the blame AND all the retaliation;
▪️Washington and Wall Street are mobilizing their media and fake "alternative media" while coaxing many unwitting accomplices in creating a "rogue Israel" narrative in which a 100% dependent proxy somehow has "taken control of" the US or is somehow operating "beyond America's control;"
▪️This allows THE UNITED STATES to carry out any crime up to and including dropping nuclear weapons on Iran and blame it on "Israel" - not only is it obvious at face value - there are literally ENTIRE CHAPTERS about this in US policy papers including this one from 2009 titled "LEAVE IT TO BIBI";

Iran Fired Over 100 Missiles At USS Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, Pushing It Back (Video)
The Iranian military claimed on March 25 that it had targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier with cruise missiles.
Press TV published a video stating that the military fired missiles at the carrier, while the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) provided some details on the attack, citing naval officials.
IRNA said that cruise missiles capable of striking ships were launched from the coast toward the carrier, forcing it to change position.
The Lincoln came under attack on multiple occasions since the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran more than months ago.
In fact, President Donald Trump revealed just a day earlier that Iran fired 101 missiles at the aircraft carrier.
