  • Apple Maps still calls it the Gulf of Mexico, and politicians are upset

    I find it all very entertaining.  
    One lot of yanks are currently overloaded with euphoria at the thought of a wrecking ball tearing the establishment down, the other lot are crying in their cups.

    and why not call it the Gulf of America? It isn’t as though the left aren’t busy changing place names all the time.
    What did Gulf of Mexico do to hurt Americans?

  • Trump says Tim Cook complained to him about the EU

    Trump does not know how to respect privacy when it comes to geopolitical economic decisions.

  • Apple's study proves that LLM-based AI models are flawed because they cannot reason

    Of course they can’t reason. It’s not a living mind. It’s the illusion of intelligence. 
    You grossly underestimate the lack of reasoning in humans.

  • TSMC managers think Americans don't work hard enough

    And those of us in the west think they work TOO hard. Life is about balance, and if TSMC can’t understand that, then they have little chance of success here. Remember the Foxconn suicides? Yeah, won’t don’t put up with a workplace like that. We walk. 

    They are right. Americans aren't hard working people. They're lazy. They aren't competitive. 

    China brings results, America consumes them. 

    As for Foxconn suicide, more people committed suicides when they are not employed. Statistics matter and to blame suicide on Foxconn is hilarious and so detached from the whole context of suicide prevention. Asians value work more and if they don't work, they feel worthless and are likely to commit suicide. The suicide rate at Foxconn is significantly lower than the rate outside of Foxconn but for some reason, people are convinced people are killing themselves because of hardships at Foxconn. People at Foxconn are also paid more than the average outside of Foxconn and Foxconn is one of the most sought companies for many Asians to work for. 

    Americans have NO business to impose their values on the Asians who see differently. Asians take pride in hard work and education more than Americans do. They love electronics and technology. They would be happy working 7 days a week.

  • Meta CEO mocks Apple for 'sitting on' iPhone 20 years later despite doing the same with Fa...

    netroxnetrox
    That is why I am working on deactivating my Meta accounts. I am so fed up with Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and their stances on many topics that are simply incompatible with my values.

  • Mac Studio gets an update to M4 Max or M3 Ultra

    netroxnetrox
    The fact that M3 Ultra now support up to 512 GB RAM is pretty amazing. It's great for large scale LLMs. Ultra 2 would only support 192GB at max.

  • Amazon denies it had plans to be clear about consumer tariff costs

    netroxnetrox
    We need to see tariffs on our items. I want to see how much is passed to us. 

    EU does with VAT and taxes. US does with sales taxes. Why can't tariffs be included to let us know how much we're paying in tariffs? 
     
    It's called immediate transparency.

  • How and where Trump's new tariffs affect Apple

    netroxnetrox
    Tariffs are taxes, plain and simple. We pay for them indirectly. When we buy a product at a store, the state tax is itemized on the receipt, so we know exactly how much we’re paying in taxes. That transparency doesn’t exist with tariffs.

    High tariffs don’t help us; they hurt us.

    Global trade is essential to the health of the world economy. When tariffs are imposed, the risk of geopolitical tension and even war increases significantly.

    We’re already seeing the consequences of policies like tariffs and the CHIPS Act, which appear to be driven by a poor understanding of economics and naivety. The reality is that the U.S. faces enormous challenges in producing silicon chips on time due to their complexity, limited skilled labor, and heavy regulations.

    In contrast, China has a population of over a billion people and a vast labor force, allowing them to manufacture at scale and speed. We cannot replicate that here. It’s basic economics.

    As a result, we are more likely to face economic slowdown.

  • Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China

    I am betting that Trump phone will be used to harvest user data and to pump their propaganda into users.

  • iOS 26 is here with Liquid Glass redesign, new Camera, and Apple Intelligence promises

    netroxnetrox
    It's a refreshed Aqua that we loved. 

    The difference though is that Liquid Glass is scalable and dynamic while the Aqua wasn't. It was static. It looked like 3D when in reality, it's not. The Liquid Glass provides a true 3D experience, reacting to motion and light.
