  • FCC will probably restore Net Neutrality on April 25

    Can someone tell me who's been harmed over the last 6+ years without net neutrality?

    Interesting that they would use the pandemic as an example of why we need net neutrality. It was a time without the law and everyone's internet was just fine.

  • AirTag anti-stalking class-action lawsuit given the green light

    The courts should come to the same conclusion that affects gun manufacturers and websites. Apple is not responsible for how their product is used.

  • How to refurbish a fifth-generation Time Capsule

    clexmanclexman
    Great how to, but I would have loved to see some information about upgrading the device. What’s the biggest drive we can put in there? Any other possibilities?

    The device is ages old. I’d love some tips to bring it closer to a modern device. 

    Also, “You can't use a replacement SSD drive because the Time Capsule uses a custom SATA drive board that only fits 3.5" SATA hard drives,” doesn’t seem like an accurate statement. You can use a $10 adapter from Amazon to turn a 2.5” SSD into a 3.5” format. I would have loved to see some info on how that would work out. Is it faster? Does it even work?

  • Apple Watch bands and iPhone cases come in new spring colors

    There do not appear to be any new FineWoven Apple Watch bands or iPhone cases at this time.

    Given reports of how those products age, I am completely un-surprised by this particular lack.
    I came here to look for the same detail.

    Apple has got to have millions of these cases gathering dust somewhere. I predict a sale on Woot in the near future to offload them.

  • Apple Vision Pro battery cable is removable if you try hard enough

    I'm willing to bet the headsets are plugged directly into an AC adapter at Apple stores.

    This feels like a workaround for the laws in in countries that require standardized power cables. It also locks out 3rd party adapters and accessories unless an Apple tax is paid.
