Man ludicrously blames Apple for his wife catching him communicating with prostitutes
To be fair to this gentleman, when you go to delete a conversation on an iPhone, it doesn't seem to delete for connected Macs, but if you delete from a Mac, it does offer to delete from all other devices. This inconsistency does seem to be a valid bug.
Deleting a conversation on Mac, we see this, but the same warning isn't seen on an iPhone when deleting the same conversation...Delete from all your devices?
This conversation will be deleted from all of your devices.

Apple gets FCC approval for Mac Pro tower, and rack-mount version
ITGUYINSD said:What would one be doing when rack mounting it? It doesn't have a true server operating system, but a server app (with minimal functionality at that) which runs on top of macOS.
With racks typically down the hall and in a secure room, how would one use one of these?
Incorrect. The Server app was merely for management of built-in services. macOS is true, certified UNIX, which means you can install any number of easily-available services onto it. Everything can be installed via Terminal, you don't need a fancy interface to get things installed and configured.
I run a full web server setup on my MacBook Air for my web development. Nearly identical setup to what I run on my 20+ production servers (all Ubuntu Linux-based). Same software.

Sony has been hyping Apple Vision Pro display tech since 2022
JP234 said:Two things stand out in this article:
MicroLED display. So Sony showed this tech ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2022? I see that Samsung is also currently selling MicroLED TV's starting at $74,999.
Careful not to mix up LED and OLED. Those are different technologies.
MicroLED is not the same as MicroOLED. That "O" matters.
MicroLED is superior to MicroOLED, but is vastly more difficult and expensive to produce. -

Tom Hanks now says 'Greyhound' film was 'rescued at sea' by Apple TV+
The original comments were open for interpretation. Being heartbroken that the movie wasn't being seen on the big screen is not equal to being heartbroken that Apple bought the movie rights. Yet AppleInsider's original headline portrayed it that Hanks was upset with Apple. That was a disservice to all readers. Shameful. -

Google continues to awkwardly push for iPhone RCS integration in new 'Meet iPager' video
If Apple were to implement RCS in Messages today as an option to message Android users, it removes the simplicity of using Apple Messages and introduces Google's fragmented issues to the platform.
That's not entirely true. Presently, Messages attempts to detect if the receiver's phone number is registered with iCloud. if so, it attempts to send the message as an iMessage. This might still fail if the recipient has no signal or has turned off data. In that case, it "falls back" to sending as an SMS message.
RCS requires data, and many people turn off data when they don't need it, so aren't they receiving fallback SMS messages even from other Android users? How does Android handle that scenario?
It's clear now that Apple is holding on as long as possible to show the elegant advantages of iMessage, so it's clearly a money play, but RCS is still a messy protocol that doesn't have as broad support as SMS does.
Apple would need to:
1) Test if the recipient can receive an iMessage.
2) Fallback to RCS and test if the recipient can receive this. How can they tell?3) Fallback to SMS.
It might be Step 2 that complicates the process. How does the network inform the sender if an RCS message was received? -
