"Fortnite should put the actual rap songs behind the dances that make so much money as Emotes. Black creatives created and popularized these dances but never monetized them. Imagine the money people are spending on these Emotes being shared with the artists that made them
— Chance The Rapper Album in July (@chancetherapper) ;July 13, 2018"

Epic stole dance moves from popular black artists and sold them to kids for a profit. The artists did not receive a penny or recognition for their work.

Apple needs to find to its roots again, even it will not be Wallstreets darling anymore.

Because that's the American (and capitalist) Way. If you can't compete, sue!

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!”

There is still anti competition going on by Apple. 

They should be sued for having taken years to have third parties integrate Siri into music apps - a category they blocked.

Secondly they should be sued for the fact you still need to say “on Spotify”, because leaving it out - the “default” - is still Apple Music. 

iOS should include an option to set the defaults for music, navigation and other categories, so that Siri can take that setting as the ‘default’.

It’s getting ridiculous now with these news stories.   Car thieves and now this.    Technology for technology sake is not necessarily a good thing.  It reminds me of the fascination some have with self driving robot cars, just because it is possible does not mean it should be done or is a good thing.   Perhaps a time is coming soon where these tracking products need to be shut down and banned,  regardless of brand.

On iOS, I don't see why people feel the need to use password managers at all since iOS directly supports automatic password storage.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill/ <--
Password AutoFill simplifies login and account creation tasks for iOS apps and webpages. With just a few taps, your users can create and save new passwords or log in to an existing account. Users don’t even need to know their password; the system handles everything.

I store much more than just passwords in 1Password. Keychain is very limited in that regards. But it does work well if you only want to store login info.

Tastes are subjective but we barely made it thru one episode and found it too cringe. 

For us the most charming show about grief is After Life, by the creator of The Office, Ricky Gervais.
