Apple to spend millions on outreach, relocation for homeless living on its San Jose land
This is a good thing.Though, the 2.5 billion pledge would go much further if Silicon Valley prioritised:1. Post Office Addresses for people.2. Stable Jobs for people not in the Silicon Valley bracket.Hopefully the Silicon Valley exodus will help.Too often, with companies, and coastal states like California, "homeless support" funds are aimed at removing the "eyesore" not the problem - they help the lucky few, and then the rest are "relocated" to be some other area's "problem".

Apple's Chinese wind power partner linked to Uyghur forced labor programs
It's truly sad what's happening to the Uyghur population in Xinjiang (the "New Province"). So many Uyghurs don't even get access to their own language. Imagine being punished for speaking, or trying to learn, your own language.

Report details security compromises Apple has made to placate China
This is a bit of a stretch. iPhone users are ONLY at risk if they're chatting with users who've listed their country as China. Publicly, there are no other security holes right now, so it's perfectly safe to chat with users in every other country.

Apple said to be among US companies lobbying against Uighur forced labor bill
It's worth noting that this bill (link) was near unanimous, it passed 406 to 3 in the House.This doesn't mean that Apple shouldn't defend its supply chain and call out the initial (short) half-a-year deadline in the bill. (Though I agree with the bill, that annual reviews should be a bare minimum thereafter).From a quick skim, I don't see much fluff in this bill, but please comment if you see differently (specific section numbers would be helpful) - I'm honestly curious. If anything, I feel the bill could've been strengthened further; the bill seems to still permit companies to claim ignorance, and appears it could have law enforcement loopholes.
