USB-C (TB3) has been a letdown for me. The ports or the cables get loose way faster than any other connector I've ever used. It's nice to have unidirectional plug-in, but on all my babied devices, the connectors are hit and miss. Not well developed. And I'm not sure how you'd fix it, but I have a number of devices I either need to get new cables for, or figure out a way to "fatten" the plugs to make them tighter...

This might explain why my TV 4K finally connects to my HomePod every time now.  It was driving me nuts before.
So, in that case, it's good!  Might be coincidence, but it never worked right before.

Apple really need to figure out a better way to update hardware.  I've had mine sitting next to my iPhone 11 Pro Max and 2020 iPad Pro 12.9" and MBP for weeks, and not a hint of updating...
This is a p*ss-poor way to update hardware, and I hope they find a more reliable method soon.

Apple really need to make a process better for updating their gear.  I've literally sat my two AirTags under the phone with FindMy open and let sit...did they update?  Nope.

Can you say data scrub?  Yeah, that's all it is.  Time to revamp the culling of info to meet the narratives.

I remember the first iPod.  Man it was great, but had some challenges with the small spinning drives.  Sometimes they'd skip, but software updates fixed that. Other times, I'd be at my son's hockey games and it would get too cold and not spin fast enough.  Putting it into my jacket pocket always fixed that.  Quirks and all, I've loved iPods ever since.  Sorry to see them go, but in reality, most folks have phones now - including kids!

That name cracks me up, especially as I am slightly lysdexic anyway.

I'm not and I thought it was Adobe!
That aside, I won't buy anything that says "HomeKit coming soon".  Call me when it IS HomeKit compatible!

Pay $4.99 for a month of “Entertainment” on Apple TV+ ? or buy a Beer?

Decisions decisions.   

Beer me.

Beer, easy.

Even when your conspiracy gateways are offline you're still finding a way to keep the momentum going.

Did I hurt your butt, Xed?

"Upper income teens" - wow, Rolex wearing kids are so far from anyone's normal life that I have to wonder where this sampling came from?
I barely even know any adults whom wear Rolex, and those that do are mostly Doc's and Esq's.  Nice neighborhood I'm sure...
