  • Apple making the case that Apple Silicon Mac & iPhone are great gaming machines

    personperson
    Apple wrecked the entire mobile gaming experience with in app purchases and ads. It’s useful sometimes to unlock a full game, but it’s mainly misused to trick kids into many many micro purchases. 
    Some games don’t even let you play for one second without begging you to pay “only” $3.99 to unlock a box of points or a different outfit for your stupid character. 
    Or “only” $6.99 to unlock a bigger piggy bank. And sadly that’s only the very tip of the iceberg. The “upgrades” never end. And at the end of the day kids only end up with hundreds of dollars of “upgrades” for some game that is quickly becoming outdated and will soon lose their interest.

  • T-Mobile will share subscriber data with ad partners - unless you opt-out

    personperson
    You should see how difficult they make it to opt out. You have to send them a picture of your drivers license, plus another picture of your self just because, plus other forms of “verification that’s it’s really you”. It’s not just a setting you can change by simply logging into your account (which by the way should already be enough verification). They have really turned to the dark side.

  • iPhone 15 Pro models will not have solid-state buttons, shareholder letter confirms

    personperson
    I’m glad it’ll have physical buttons. 
    I had an iPhone case that the buttons were so small I could not tell where they were. It doesn’t seem like that would matter, but many many times that I would try to adjust the volume it would end up activating the emergency alarm and I’d be scrambling to shut it down before it called 911. 
    After way too many times doing that I switched back to a case that I could feel the buttons, and it never happened again. 
    If they were solid state buttons, flush with the phone, that would be a terrible problem. They would have thousands upon thousands of false emergency calls.

    If you don't like the App Store, don't use it. If you don't like the App Store, don't use it!

  • Boy petitions Apple to change 'nerd face' emoji

    personperson
    Please don’t tell me this is real! What role models for teachers we have now days, teaching everyone to invent something to be offended about and to make a big stink about it. 
    They used to teach you how to be mentally resilient to help face lifes hardships. Now so many radical teachers teach the opposite.

  • How to schedule messages in iOS 18 using 'Send Later'

    personperson
    About time. Almost all of my many previous cell phones had send later until I got an iPhone. 
    My dumb phones all had it but my smart iPhone didn’t. Silly

  • Apple and OpenAI allegedly reach deal to bring ChatGPT functionality to iOS 18

    I just wonder what kind of spying and privacy tromping tech is built into the back of this so called AI. 
    Probably everything they can think of

    personperson
    Do credit card companies make it so you can use the nfc chips in their cards work with other companies?
    I think not

    I am against this device based scanning by Apple. Its not of their business. This is called privacy Cook and you are not going to mess with it. 
    So don't opt in.
    Nobody was given a choice. It’s just a precursor of all the anti privacy policies and features to come

  • California passes bill that requires online 'guardrails' to protect children

    personperson
    I told you so… The recent “child protection” measures implemented by Apple only serve as a entry to more and more draconian government snooping, and data harvesting. The article claiming the government cant force Apple to violate its privacy policies is so misguided. They will never stop, especially creeps like newsom. They will always shout “it’s to protect the children” It’s their favorite excuse to execute control over every aspect of your life, and to take your freedoms away. This data collected will be used against you in politically motivated ways, and to keep the elites rich and pampered while the rest are oppressed. It will also be used to push in the new world order, tracking your so called carbon footprint and punishing you if you accidentally cross some arbitrary line. It’s so obvious. If you want to protect your children don’t let them use devices unsupervised. Simple. However they are clever and you should monitor your network for extra devices they may have hidden.
