I think the infographic they put out said that the "always listening" features were not available in the EU and China. Although honestly I don't see how anyone can trust the hardware when the "always recording conversations" features are part of the SIP.

I can't wait to see how many places ban this Apple Watch entirely. First, there's no way this is legal in two-party consent states, and I don't care how Apple tries to re-define "record."
Secondly, I don't think anyone really cares how secure Apple says "Private Cloud Compute" is, no one is going to trust that a device that's designed to "listen" (but not "record") every conversation in the vicinity isn't "recording" especially when it can produce an AI summary of a conversation.
There's no way this Apple Watch will be allowed in government buildings or anywhere else that people may not want to be recorded, no matter Apple's privacy claims. I expect to see "No Apple Watch Allowed" signs start appearing all over the place once this releases.

Submission + - BMW Blames Young People for Loss of Real Buttons in New Cars (caranddriver.com)
sinij writes:
In an interview with CarExpert, Vikram Pawah, the CEO of BMW Group Australia, said that young buyers prefer the newer controls. “We can see that voice and touch are becoming more and more common,” Pawah told the outlet. “Maybe it’s a generational thing as well. You would see that a lot of the younger generation, maybe 45 or below, they’re tapped into these technologies at a faster pace, using voice, using touch.”
This would be somewhat believable if this design only affected cars targeted at young buyers. It does not. Many of BMW are targeted at affluent boomers and Gen X due to high price.
Submission + - US Moves Medical Marijuana Off Schedule I (justice.gov)
An anonymous reader writes: US cannabis law has moved more in the past year than in the previous fifty. In April 2026, following a Trump executive order, the DOJ rescheduled FDA-approved and state-licensed medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, the first federal acknowledgment of accepted medical use in over 50 years. Recreational cannabis stays Schedule I, but a DEA administrative hearing on extending Schedule III to all cannabis ran through July, with a decision pending. Schedule III also frees medical operators from the 280E tax ban and eases research rules. Separately, a November 2025 law redefines legal hemp by total THC starting November 12, 2026. This 2026 cannabis law update breaks down each change.
