  • White House shot down Intel plans to increase chip production in China

    glennhglennh
    waveparticle said:
    The chip shortage will continue under Biden administration. Companies will not manufacture chips in US. They cannot make money. If they try to raise prices they need to double or triple the prices. And this route is not working. Democrats have no concept of capitalism. 
    Bullshit! This crap started under the Reagan Administration. I live in Silicon Valley and personally saw Intel strip and close chip factories in the past to move the equipment over seas to increase profits to enrich executives bonuses through excessive profits through cheap labor and not regards for either domestic and foreign workers, the environment or national security concerns. 

    One would think that after the World’s Covid PPE shortages made worst by the hoarding, excessive profiteering and the arrogant Chinese Communist Party using its control of the manufacturing as a political weapon the world has learned the lesson of depending on a inherently corruption and authoritarian to deliver essential goods.

     The Biden administration is 1000 percent correct in trying to stop our “Capitalist from selling the ROPES to OUR and the ENTIRE WORLD HANGING!”

  • New Apple TV Siri Remote incompatible with some tvOS games

    glennhglennh
    A TV remote should have not ever been considered or use as a GAME CONTROLLER in the first place.

    "Anything can be forced to converge, but the problem is that products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left doesn't please anyone,". "You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going be pleasing to the user." — Tim Cook 2012

    In this case, it look like Apple just canceled its Toaster/Frig mistake! 😎

  • The potential TikTok ban is being decided on by the wrong people

    glennhglennh
    With all due respect, I think only those who have access to classified government information should be the ones speaking on this subject.

    EVERYTHING in China is owned and controlled by the Chineses Communist Party not the Chinese People including TikTok!

    An old communist once said “a capitalist is a fool who will sell the rope to his own hanging!” 

    Well please let me update this by say….“TikTok influencers are naïve money making fools that are selling the ropes to everyone’s and every society’s hangings!

  • FTC concludes manufacturer repair restrictions harm consumers

    glennhglennh
    This sounds like the government is getting into the business of telling manufacturers how to design their products so that others can make a living repairing them. So much for innovations and trade secrets!

  • Entire Apple Watch Series 6 package must be returned if Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop don't...

    glennhglennh
    I posted this on 09/21/20 :

    I received my watch today and discovered the above mentioned sizing constraint. I took it to my local Apple Store who exchanged my oversized Braided Band (Size 11) for a gift card. I kept my Titanium Watch even though they did not have any Braided Band in stock for an exchange. 

    Prior to going to the store, I knew the store did have any Braided Bands in stock, so I purchased a Sports Band (Size 10). This size seemed to be the proper fit. I did noticed the band was slightly tight when I first put it upon my wrist. After a minute or less the fit was snug. The warmth from my wrist seem to loosen the fit. With this in mind, I would advised anyone who is in between sizes with the new Sport or Braided Apple Watch Bands to purchase the lower size. 

    Since that day, I have can personally attest to the fact that the Apple Watch Band template is not to scale. From my experience and from the experience of my significant other, the Solo Band should be bought at a size that is one size below the Apple’s cut-out template while the Braided Loop Band should be bought at a size that is one or two sizes below the template depending where your wrist lands on the scale (toward the front or middle or back). Both the Solo and Braided Bands are very comfortable and seemed to conform to the wrist without except one they are slipped on beyond the hand. As in any new product or tech, I have learned to expect a couple of hiccup without complaint  whenever I have been an early adopter!  I hope this helps others.

    Finally! 

    For those of you that do have or use iOS 16 beta, all you need to do is go to “Battery” in Settings App and toggle on the “Battery Percentage” switch.

  • US DOJ will finally sue Apple after years of antitrust investigation

    glennhglennh
    pssst…. Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 (U.S. Constitution)

    [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

    IE.. As a long time Apple shareholder, I say it’s about time that Apple’s Board get aggressive and orders the company to start charging all for profit outfits for any and every use of Apple’s IP, especially the billion dollars whining FREELOADERS like Spotify and Epic!

  • EU antitrust chief to Tim Cook: Apple must allow third-party app stores

    glennhglennh
    As an Apple shareholder, I would demand that any third party App Store, pay upfront their fair share to Apple for all R&D, marketing, IP, transportation, security and other associated yearly expenses and costs that Apple bears in making and maintaining its various devices and associated software products.

  • 13-inch iPad Pro review: hardware of the future running software of the past

    glennhglennh
    I know I will get clobbered here by saying this, but it must be said:

    This is NOTHING wrong with iPad OS or the new iPad Pro in my humble opinion including my nano-textured screen.

    I have only owned Apple computers starting with an Apple II GS. I currently own a MacBook Pro, an iPad Pro, a Vision Pro, an Apple TV, an iPhone Pro Max and a couple of Apple Watches. While each device is per se a computer and they may share some similar uses, they have different functions, uses, capabilities and software. 

    I have noticed Apple Tech Writers are always downgrading reviews and slamming iPads and iPad OS for not having the capabilities of Macs and Mac OS. As I have commented to others, although a pickup truck, a motor cycle and a van are all vehicles, they are all different and should be used according one’s transportation’s needs and the requirements of the transportation task.

    An iPad and IPad OS are not Mac and Mac OS. iPads and iPad OS need to be as simple as possible for those who need a computer without the complexities of multitasking and overloading the user. 

    If you want an example of this just visit an Apple Store and spend a few minutes just observing the interactions of the people in the store. While the parents are getting their Mac fix, grandma texting away on her phone and the baby in diapers and in the stroller is punching away or watching a Disney Movie for the hundredth time on an iPad. 

    Btw… The review was Great and I will not offer any criticisms of it with the exception of my above two cents.
