YouTuber builds 'first' Apple Silicon iMac using old iMac & M1 Mac mini
Probably easier to use target display mode on the 2011 iMac and have access to all the mac mini M1 ports. Saw the following on Reddit when I was looking for a similar solution (haven't tried it yet):

Apple avoids iPhone import ban as ITC rejects Qualcomm patent infringement claims [u]
j2fusion said:I’m really confused here. Other articles are saying an ITC Judge MaryJoan McNamara ruled that Apple did violate a Qualcomm patent and faces a possible import ban. I know there are several court cases happening now, perhaps AI could help by doing an article that maps them out.These are two different cases:"The U.S. International Trade Commission on Tuesday invalidated a Qualcomm patent for a battery-saving feature. Earlier in the day, a separate trade judge said Apple infringed a different Qualcomm patent and recommended certain older models of the iPhone be banned. The commission is scheduled to release a final decision in that case in July."

Keychain, LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane, Nordpass: Keep your passwords safe
I have switched over to BitWarden, the only open source password manager to my knowledge. As a bonus, it works with the authenticator app.Their free tier is more than enough for my needs (and even the paid tier is very reasonably priced).

Judge rules Tim Cook must sit through seven-hour 'Fortnite' deposition

It's not a monopoly in that there is only one source for the product. Read the case. It's about the fact that Apple only allows one method of payment for in-app purchases, and that is through Apple's own systems and at Apple's own rate (30%). CC transactions typically cost businesses 2-3%.genovelle said:So, if Samsung distributes it and Samsung sell more phones than Apple, how can Apple have a monopoly? Having the more profitable products does not equal a monopoly. The question then are we redefining what a monopoly is because one company goes against the grain in almost everything they do and makes more money because of it.Why not compare it to a game console store such as Xbox. You will see that they also charge the same 30%.From the Microsoft store App Developer Agreement (specifically for Xbox games):"Thirty percent (30%) of Net Receipts for: (a) all Apps and In-App Products acquired by Customers in the Microsoft Store on an Xbox console and billed to such Customers on a non-subscription basis"Haven't seen any Epic Games lawsuit against Microsoft.

What the iPhone 15 Pro in gray titanium could look like
jbirdiikun said:
Same— just really not crazy about the large camera bumps/profile. But I know I’m in the minority. Giving serious consideration to switching to the next miniigorsky said:I like the idea of a natural titanium color.
I am with you, but I highly doubt there will be another mini. And even if there is one, it won't be in premium materials like stainless steel or titanium.

Apple's $62.9 billion stock buyback program called a bad investment in new report
jasenj1 said:As an AAPL owner, I can't say that I've seen any benefit from the buy backs. My understanding is that buy backs are supposed to increase the value of the remaining shares. But AAPL continues to be volatile and be manipulated by analyst "news". Maybe my dividend has increased - I haven't watched it closely; I'm sure there's a chart out there somewhere that could show dividend vs shares outstanding or some such, and hopefully the buy backs would show a real impact there. Anyone have a link to a "here's why the buy backs were good for AAPL owners" article?The math is pretty simple. Apple buys 5% to 6% of their outstanding shares every year, which boosts the EPS numbers by roughly the same amount. Combined with their annual profit increase of 6% to 7%, the total earnings growth becomes 12%. At this rate, their EPS will nearly double in the next 5 years. Over long term, stock prices track EPS pretty closely.You might find the following article interesting:

Apple TV+ gains 54 Emmy awards, led once more by 'Ted Lasso'
I think the title is a bit misleading / optimistic."Apple TV+ gains 51 Emmy awards, ..."
should be"Apple TV+ gains 51 Emmy awards nominations, ..."

2022 'iPhone 14' revealed by leakers days before 'iPhone 13' announcement
I like the idea of removing the camera bump by changing the glass-sandwich design. I'd choose that over any notch removal changes if it has to be one or the other.
