If you've been watching videos on your unplugged computer for 19 hours, you're not on a PC. 

So many people complain that the iPad Pro can't replace their computer. Well, it's true that the iPad Pro can't REPLACE their computer, but remember this. In 1984, the 128K Macintosh couldn't replace my IBM Selectric typewriter. For instance, where do you put the piece of paper? What? You have to buy something extra to print something out? Well, that's not a replacement! Therefore, the Macintosh must have been garbage! It's now 2018, and I haven't used an IBM Selectric in 31 years. One of these days, I will no longer use a Macintosh. This isn't that day, but it's coming sooner than you expect. And some of the reasons are explained in this commercial.

DAalseth said: "I sure hope they don't get really pushy with the ads." Don't you understand? YOU are the ad. Roku makes money off of you. What if someone wanted to punish you for viewing a lot of content on CNN? The government can now identify you and come after you. It's what gun-rights advocates feared so much about gun registration. With Roku, you're now registered as a certain type of person, based on your viewing habits.

It's just a shame that the iPhone X is such a flop.

Criminals "going dark" is nothing new. Jack the Ripper was never caught. Which iPhone did he use?

Epic has never done anything except stuff money in their pockets. Apple practically saved my life when I went blind seven years ago with the advancements they made in accessibility, advancements that would have been hindered had they not had their App Store rules in place. Epic sells games, but, for me, Aple sells life. 

"It's AMD's largest deal since a $5.4 acquisition for ATI Technologies in 2006."

Heck, if anyone would have told me it was so cheap, I would have paid $5.50 for it. I would have even gone up to $5.75, but I would've had to have gone to my board first.

I had the problem of my Series 3 Watch not unlocking my Mac. I worked diligently (and calmly) with Apple Support. The performed some telemetric functions, getting data from my Watch and my Mac, and we eventually worked things out. Once the procedure started working again, it has never failed for me. I even sent a thank-you note about the great service I got to Tim Cook, and a few days later, got an email from his address acknowledging my comment. That was in May 2017, and my Watches (I now have a Series 4) have unlocked my Mac perfectly ever since.

I've found Google Remote Desktop to be useful accessing a Mac from an iPad, although there are some areas it doesn't work well, such as Command-click selection of files from a list and its inability to work with Spaces. Overall, Google Remote Desktop was easier to setup and more reliable to access than Back to My Mac, although you have to hold your nose while using a product from Alphabet.

For Apple, it's a scorched-earth policy: We know everybody's going to try to copy us. We know we can't keep you from doing that. But we can make it hurt to do so. It's the one-thousand-paper-cuts defense.
