First Act of Ternus-Led Apple is to Acquiesce to Trump’s Inane Lake Ontario Name Change

Emma Roth, The Verge:

Apple Maps has officially changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. The company joins Google in re-labeling the Great Lake following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in the midst of a trade dispute with Canada.

Glad I didn’t hold my breath.

(I still see “Lake Ontario” when zoomed in (video). I presume the changes are still propagating, and not an act of civil disobedience.)
