My son, a college commuter, at one point got notification from iPhone that someone was AirTaging him. He panicked. We looked in his school backpack and car but couldn't find it. Later we realized that on the app you can actually play the sound on the un-identifying AirTag. So he played the sound and it came from his own jacket pocket where his car key is. The AirTag is attached to his car key. The AirTag created its own new ID and where as the original "Keys" label I setup for him was no longer functioning. My conclusion is the AirTag rebooted itself after upgrading and created a new AirTag ID on its own. Very strange that the AirTag lost its original setting. I ended up resetting it and all is back to normal.

So much for modular design and now back to square one. This is going to be Mac trash can, the 2013 Mac Pro, all over again. Oh brother.

I would upgrade to 13 ProMax because of camera and 1TB storage for ProRes. I shoot video and does video compositing. Also both 12 and 13 can convert 3D real life object to 3D model for 3D animation which Apple never mentioned it in their presentation. And I do 3D animation as well. iPhone is becoming the electronic Swiss knife that does everything.

Go figure. Apple. That's why CCP leaves Apple alone vs. other U.S. companies. To do business in Asia, all you have to do is bribe to get your place secured.

It’s about time for printer companies to rethink their ink cartridge strategy. Now it bites them back on their butts. EPSON’s ink refillable printer starts to look good. 

.... and for Apple TV screen saver.

My prediction for the next few months:

• Yesterday: Tariff exempt

• Today: Tariff temporarily exempt

• Next week: Tariff permanent

• The following week: Tariff permanent until Christmas

• Next month: Tariff exempt is back — Summer only

• July: Tariff hikes up to 1000%, but only for the 4th of July

• August: Tariff National Holiday is officially established

Thanks but no thanks. Gonna stick to x86

#metoo.  Honestly who wouldn't.  It makes zero sense.  All microprocessor will be the same.  MacOS is built on x86.  Intel is a serious company. Rosetta runs x86.  It was built on x86 and the M-Chips are x86.  Fun Fact.

And my car runs on x86 because it has Windows. 

Interesting. 5 years from now there will be multiple different types of Apple Pencils just like Harry Potter's magic wands.

Huawei is wasting their effort. These are hard-core iPhone users. They are not going to switch.
