In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at part of the year in photos, national monuments, the iPhone X (and accessories), Nan Goldin, layer masks, the image tag, Instagram and denagging macOS.

"Instagram will automatically save your Stories after their 24 hours are up and they'll exist in a separate archive section of your profile," she writes. You can also add Stories permanently to Stories Highlights under the bio in your profile. Rolling out now.
- In Are You Being Pestered to Upgrade to High Sierra?, Howard Oakley points out the one little file you can delete to remove the nagging prompt. You would think a company that released the product with such an embarrassing security flaw (addressed only last week) would humbly delete it themselves. But it's not a humble era.
