    Apple should look at Mastodon or Spoutible instead of that horrible company.
    It's okay cupcake, you don't need a Facebook account, you need an Instagram account. I guessing that you feel the same way about those. But I can't image people on Threads will be super broken up that you won't be joining.

    You are seriously mocking someone for not having or caring about a facebook or insta account..really?  Hahaha wow  You are just super cool!

  • Apple reaping massive illegal profits from Apple Pay fees on card issuers, lawsuit claims

    Filed in Northern California.   Good chance Visa is one of the “financial institutions” 

    What utter bullshit.   Typical, money-grabbing slime lawyer 
    "Hagens Berman, the law firm that successfully obtained a $450 million settlement from Apple over ebook price fixing, is representing the class, which is comprised of U.S. credit unions and financial institutions that have cards enabled for use in Apple Pay."

    They already dinged Apple for 450M.. why not try again? B)

    Honestly these CC companies have a lot of balls crying when they kill small businesses with their transaction fees. I see more and more small businesses that are cash only, or in the case of gas stations you pay a few more cents a gallon if you choose to pay with a credit or debit card rather than cash.

    Credit card companies charge between approximately 1.3% and 3.5% of each credit card transaction in processing fees. The exact amount depends on the payment network (e.g., Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express), the type of credit card, and the merchant category code (MCC) of the business.

  • Facebook is fine when punishing others financially, but cries when others do it to them

    God I hate Facebook and Zuckerbag. Not really a big fan of Apple either. Neither are your friends but Apple is the devil you know. 
    Comparing a company that makes something (the best products and services in the world), with a company that derives 100% of its revenue from mining customers' data to sell to advertisers is a questionable conflation.
    Two large companies that care nothing about you unless they are making money from you, as either the customer or the product? I think it's a perfectly reasonable comparison.

    We need to stop defending Apple as if they are our friends..they aren't. We enjoy their products and the service they offer as part of being a customer, additionally if you are a stock holder you enjoy the dividends as well B) .. that's it.

    Imagine being so mentally fragile that being around your coworkers scares you. This is why we say leftist wokism is a mental illness. It's normalized agoraphobia.
    Seriously? ......


    Wokism is cancer and it spreads like cancer.

    Are you saying that discrimination, especially racism, is just the natural order of things and people should just accept their place in society?

    What exactly is Racism, many studies have indicated that children are inherently NOT racist, but if you hurt my loved ones or steal my property, vengeance will occur, child or adult.  Think.  Wokism is a cancer of the brain.
    As a man of color I have been highly alert to racial prejudice and situations of discrimination in and out of the work place my entire life. I remember a time when woke was actually just a question asking if you were asleep or not. So calling it a cancer of the brain because people are finally becoming aware of the ignorance around them is just a bad look. Just because people waking up to things makes you and other uncomfortable or you are tired of hearing about it doesn't make it bad or a cancer... my god what the hell are people so afraid of?

    Allow me to tell you about racism is since you seem to need enlightenment ..

    • Racism is having your best little buddy growing up call you the N word whenever they were mad and it didn't seem like a big deal
    • Racism is not being able to take a girl you've know for years to a little high school dance because her parents are afraid of what people will think.
    • Racism is a random man approaching you as a 10 or 12 year old kid asking if they had pools for your kind back down closer to my house because they don't want our kind polluting their pools.
    • Racism as a friends mom you have known for 15 years of your life comment that you were becoming very handsome.. to bad there isn't a nice "colored girl" you could go out with.
    • Racism is having a friends father say he Ni**** lipped a cigar like it was just normal conversation... with a whoops as an excuse.

    So I do agree 100,000% that children are NOT inherently born racist.. this type of hateful shit is taught and made to seem "normal" by ignorant and bigoted parents, neighbors and society.. and people are tired of it!

    That’s a fascinating insight into an upcoming product. And by that I mean WTF AI who gives a crap about a ribbon cable that may or may not be part of a product that may or may not be an unreleased Apple product. Color me unimpressed on this one.
    You know you're on a rumor site, right? 
    Generally one checks rumor sites for rumors that are interesting, right?
    What's interesting to me is where the belief that this unannounced product will somehow cost $3,000.00!! That is a very specific amount for something that can't even be verified to exist! Yikes!  Even Sony's VR2 which getting good reviews and is being considered a pretty solid offering is $549.00.

  • Disney+ is now cracking down on password sharing in the U.S.

    With this and the rate increase it is time to cancel Disney+.

    If you're stealing it now, what is there to cancel?

    Maybe he is the account holder that shares with a child that splits time between households, or is college age.  My lady splits time between our house and her elderly parents home because she takes care of them and the house.  I should pay for multiple subscriptions for a not so great service because they THINK we will scramble to sign up for individual services similar to what Netflix claims? 

    I never understood this from Netflix or anyone else.. If I a pay for 4 streams max on Disney+ I should be able to use them wherever and however I want, since you can't stream anymore than 4 at a time. If I give the credentials out 100 times shouldn't matter as long as I cannot use more streams than I pay for. Same with Netflix.. I pay for 2 streams shouldn't matter how many times I give it out only 2 streams can be used at once.

    I don't want to split hairs over what it is or isn't I am just saying I should be able to use what I pay for how I see fit. Just my 2c

  • Apple Notes in iOS 18 looks to up the ante with Microsoft OneNote

    I really hope they separate the scanning capability from Notes.
    It really should be part of Camera. Open camera app, select scan, take pic (scan). Ask me what to do with it (like a screenshot does). Message, email, save to Photos or Files, save as Note etc. 
    I often need to send PDF scans of documents. I never need to save them as a note.
    Using this feature as a part of Notes adds a lot of unnecessary steps and time to the process, including deleting the unnecessary note I just created.
    There's an app for that!

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simple-scan-quick-scanner/id6477965455

    There is already scanning capability in the notes app, why buy another scanning app to do what can already be done within IOS?  It's a bit clunky but is still functional.

  • YouTube TV to cancel subscriptions purchased through Apple in-app payments in March

    jcs2305jcs2305
    gatorguy said:
    Not at all surprising since YouTube TV is seeing good success with paid subscriptions. Based on how AI has worded it I would expect those who are impacted can simply subscribe directly and as a bonus eliminate the $5 premium charge they were paying simply because it was through Apple. I doubt this will affect too many AI members if any since there haven't been new signups offered via in-app purchase for some time.

    I stopped paying via subscription through the app store almost 2 years ago with Youtube Premium..Realized Google was including the 30% app store surcharge in my rate... $12.99 to pay through the App store or $9.99 if I pay Google directly using Paypal.
