You can sign up for Apple beta and keep doing iOS 18 updates.

There are many reports that since around Christmas day, you can not do this any more on phones that support iOS 26. Updating to iOS 26 is the only option now.

I may suggest the other option is to buy an iPhone not supporting iOS 26.

Nope, they don't sign iOS 18 updates anymore.

Not anymore. Tried this but the pulled 18.7.3 for beta upgrades too.

China is building out immense offshore wind capacity - more than 41GW operational currently, about half of global capacity.

So, let's halt projects for which most fabrication of components is already completed?

Which is precisely why US defence agencies are heavily involved in the permitting and design of these wind farms from the start, to account for these valid issues.

And, Sweden blocked those projects in early stage permitting, not well underway or even nearing completion.

It's not comparable at all. US defence agencies have had thorough involvement in the permitting process of these US developments.

There's obviously transparently political antipathy from the Trump administration towards offshore wind development in the US. It's far more likely this is gross political interference by an unserious and vendetta-driven administration.

Just something to keep in mind - the actual site of these wind farms is offshore in federal waters, and construction is subject to federal (as well as state) permits.

The vessel was flying under a Guyanese flag but was not registered there.

Probably not. It seems to have come as a surprise. They are not loitering - either the wave conditions did not allow for installation or they are in port for resupply.
