  • Apple unveils new iPhone SE priced at just $399

    GobnuGobnu
    Expected, but still disappointing.  I was hoping they would pull off the surprise and have one in the original SE case with an A12 in it.  I would greatly miss the smaller size, and the flat edges.  Guess I'll have to take a look at the fall offerings.

  • Apple's T2 chip has an unfixable vulnerability that could allow root access

    GobnuGobnu
    This is like saying that your Mac security can easily be circumvented by somebody cutting off your finger and using it on your Touch ID laptop. 

    All of these exploits with multiple steps, extensive knowledge and physical access  required — who cares, unless you’re a 007 agent or cheated on the wrong person?

  • First iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max hands-on videos illustrate vast size difference

    This mini is still too big. 5S form factor is the biggest I'd want to use. I'm on my 3rd SE (due to wear and tear). And why do we have to have the camera bump. The bumps don't let a phone sit flat on a desk. Aaaaand, bring back a flavor of touch ID; be it in the power button, or under the screen, it's absolutely necessary in these times of universal masking.
    Right?!? Original SE size would have been perfect with full sized screen. Also, we can't be the only ones that would rather have the phone 1.5 mm thicker to lay flat and use the space for a larger battery??  I'm going to miss touch ID also, but I don't think my 5 year old SE is going to survive another battery replacement and I have to plug it in several times per day now.

  • Apple again reportedly planning a new, but larger 'iPhone SE 2'

    100% agree with some of the above posters. The iPad mini treatment would be perfect for the SE. Same shape, same solid chassis, with updated internals. Larger screen with less margin optional, but not at the expense of making the whole thing bigger.

  • How to revive an iPod with a hard drive using flash storage

    GobnuGobnu
    I have the same setup! I still find my 2007 iMac useful occasionally, but didn’t even think of the fact that it was the last connection to my original 5gb iPod. Now I have another reason to keep it around.

    I loved the sound of my click wheel iPod.  It had Wolfson converters and blew away my iPod Touch.
    It's Fire Wire, but I still have a 24" iMac (2007) that works fine.  It's stuck at El Capitan and I've left iTunes at 12.6.  I think that should sync up with it.  We'll see.

  • Two more macOS Zoom flaws surface, as lawsuit & government probe loom

    Isn’t the Mac App Store supposed to prevent this bad behavior in app installs?

    How can the install be “shady” if using this method?  

    Are people installing Zoom using another method?
    When someone sends you a meeting link, it prompts you with another link to download and install itself if not already installed.  You still have to allow downloads from the website, but that is the only security hurdle that I am aware of.
