  • Man ludicrously blames Apple for his wife catching him communicating with prostitutes

    danielchowdanielchow
    I agree with the concern about how some personal data is synch across devices. I don’t see any way to control it in family share. Even when not in family share mode, for example, I found that all of my recent photos were in full display on AppleTV. So I sympathize with him, but only about the shared across all devices. 

    Apple ought to provide better granular privacy settings for users in family share mode without turning it into another Windows NT; that is, you need to take courses to learn how to manage security and privacy. The prostitution solicitation part is some other issue that he has to work out in the divorce court, in therapy, and with what’s left of his family. That was not Apple’s fault [rolling eyes]

    Honey, it’s Bible study night with the boys.

  • No, Apple is not going to delete the Clown emoji from the iPhone

    danielchowdanielchow
    This sort of Internet nonsense reminds me of children's playgrounds. There are groups of bulliers, special groups, secret groups, rejects, and whatnots and everyone has something to say about each other to get under their skins.

    Words and symbols are fluid, they can be anything our free will chooses to give to them.

    Lately, we have been like fragile china dolls — quick to judge, condemn, and exile someone over something said.

    Whatever, they are only words and symbols that could evolve in a few moments, a few years, or a few lifetimes. The power they have is apparently from how much power our free will chooses to give to them. We have the free will to let a clown emoji turn our fragile emotions into a raging sea storm or to turn it into something else, like a babbling brook  ;)

  • Apple Pay prank irritates victim, TikTok prankster gets what they deserve

    danielchowdanielchow
    And “boomer” is a bad thing? You realize that this was just a label, one of several dated media constructs? It’s so passé.

    You shall age too, and the next generation could label you a grump because you dis and whine about other generations. 

    Be kind, and it is not difficult to be respectful to other human beings. I’m sure you desire that too: kindness and respect.

  • iPhone 13 mini review: The most powerful small smartphone on the market

    danielchowdanielchow
    the more i use my iphone mini the more i love it. reading or editing do not feel cramp. it feels just right in my hand.

    i hope apple will continue this mini format for those who have "small" hands and who find this form "perfect".

     edit: iphone mini (512 GB)

  • A clever hack fixes the new Mac mini power button's awkward location

    danielchowdanielchow
    Per Apple's Product Environmental Report for the new mini, while "sleeping", it uses 0.5W. During "idle with display on", the mini uses 4W. 

    Granted, that's not zero power used, but it's darned low. The only way to get the mini to use zero electricity is to  unplug it, because it consumes a monstrously large 0.1W powered off and plugged in.  
    Humans are so predictable. Most bloggers exaggerate. Such drama queens.

    All Apple PowerBooks have very efficient power-saving modes that automatically put them to sleep when you close the lid. This is also true for all Apple desktop machines. This machine is so compact and lightweight that you can easily lift it slightly to access the button, but you will rarely need to. If you must hard power off, then unplug the power cord.

  • Adobe's new terms of service unacceptably gives them access to all of your projects, for f...

    I have been pondering if I should terminate my account for several months. Well, I guess this helped me decide if I should terminate.

    PS: don’t forget to download all your work before terminating the service.

  • How to banish annoyances in Safari with Distraction Control on Mac

    danielchowdanielchow
    This feature is really handy. If content providers like YouTube and others would respect their users, we wouldn’t need it.

    For example, a few days ago, I searched for bread dough on YouTube. I found what I was looking for, but it also showed a preview image of a man’s face covered with pockmarks. I couldn’t tell YouTube not to suggest such videos, so it kept showing it alongside other bread-making videos. It was disrespectful to their users. That’s why people use ad blockers. Anyway, I used the Hide Distracting Items feature, and it helped! Now if only I could wipe the image of that man’s pockmarked face from my mind.
