UPS returning some AirPods Max shipments to Apple as 'hazardous materials' [u]
As someone who audits HazMats for UPS my bet is the packages had the wrong diamond label on them, a ground Limited Quantity on an Air package (all next day, two day and three day service levels follow air regulations) will get the package rejected. FAA And DOT regulations. Common problem these days, especially with the plethora of lithium ion batteries in everything. -
M1X Mac mini with more ports could launch within months
MplsP said:stompy said:darkpaw said:I don't get why we'd ever need MagSafe on a desktop computer? For a laptop, great; someone comes along and treads on the cable, it pulls it out without breaking the port on the laptop or pulling the laptop to the floor, and the laptop continues running on battery power.
The day the iMac went on sale, reviewer Jason Snell compared the new iMac power cord to the old: "In practical terms, the force required to yank the magnetic power cable off the iMac is the same force required to yank the current iMac’s plastic power plug out of its socket."
Unless we're going to start referring to non-magnetic designs as "FrictionSafe", we should agree to only call products MagSafe that Apple calls MagSafe.I believe the point was how thin the iMac is. After I looked at one in a Best Buy I realized there wouldn’t be room for the standard way they were connected before. It’s literally just a screen and almost as thin as an iPad. -
Computing would be totally different had Apple not been formed 48 years ago, today
lkrupp said:I hitched a ride on Apple’s bandwagon in 1982 with an Apple ][+ and have never looked back. There’s something about the company even today that I find fascinating. Now that Apple is a trillion dollar company it has its problems and foibles but at the core it’s still the company it was in the early days. In my now 38 years on the bandwagon I have been treated well by Apple in both purchases and repairs. They fixed my late 2013 27” iMac when the spring assembly holding the head up broke, long out of warranty, at no charge, with apologies. They fixed my water cooled G5, also at no charge. And they replaced my Power Mac 8100 immediately when the power supply failed, no questions asked. -
Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch
Just a question on this tech. So, the software scans for known images of child porn from a data base from a third party. Which would imply that these images are downloaded off the internet or texted to one’s phone. Well, what about the person whose actually using his/hers iPhone to shoot pics, say in their homes? Those wouldn’t be in the database. Exactly how does that work? Or are those images “safe”? It seems to me that this tech only solves half a problem, that is images of known child porn. Not new ones. Am I correct in understanding this?

Apple Developer Transition Kits with Apple Silicon sports a A12Z chip in a $500 Mac mini
flydog said:rcfa said:A pity, with these specs a iPad Pro with MagicKeyboard would have been sufficient; was hoping one might just do an install on either the iPad or an USB SSD and use the iPad for development...I think too, that the iPad Pros probably don’t have enough RAM.

Pay up or get out: Apple's options for South Korea's App Store law

Of course, if you want to have your own payment system, then be prepared for Apple to start charging you a hosting fee for every download and install of that app. That's only fair isn't it?
It's as simple as that. I won't use their infrastructure and they won't get any money from me (other than my developers subscription).
You well pay for use of their server. And you well be kicked off if your app has malware.
We are talking about iOS app store. Not the Mac app store. -
Spotify users will get to choose whether to pay directly, or via Google Play
