  • Google Fi introduces eSIM support for existing iPhone customers

    JackyChanJackyChan
    Too bad there is no network switching for iPhones so if you have an iPhone you’re just buying a TMobile account when you get Google Fi.

  • China bans cryptocurrency from banks, payment systems

    JackyChanJackyChan
    Why would you believe the stated reason from an announcement from the Chinese government? It’s not about the “dangers” to citizens or the economy, and  It’s not about whether it’s a real currency. This is merely ground work in preparation for the single biggest socio-political maneuver in the history of China. They are clearing away crypto currencies so that there will be only one currency that will be used everywhere in China—the Digital Yuan. Benefits include the ability for the government to track every purchase from everyone (and continue its push to eliminate the USD as the world’s reserve currency).

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in Apple Vision Pro aren't cooking your brain

    The fact that the author mentioned exactly zero of the studies on EMF exposure, and regurgitates the same disproven talking points fills me with great confidence about the relevance and accuracy of the piece.

  • Apple executives say creating Mac Studio was 'overwhelming'

    JackyChanJackyChan
    Please don’t make false attributions. Bergeron is (apparently) saying that reflecting *back* upon what they have already done is emotionally overwhelming (presumably because they are so proud), NOT overwhelming to make the product in the first place. There is no mention of whether that is true.

  • Google Gemini Live takes on Siri via a standalone iOS app

    JackyChanJackyChan
    The critical difference wasn’t mentioned— Siri (Apple Intelligence) will have access to (almost) everything in your device and be able to interact with it (to varying degrees) and talk about it. A Google app won’t have access to all your content.

  • Hands on with the new features of Apple Watch Series 6

    JackyChanJackyChan
    It sounds like there have been good improvements on the fitness front:

    1- GPS tracks get less artificial
    smoothing and are more accurate. 

    2- HR and GPS no longer have a long delay where they miss a minute or two of data after you start your workout before they get a “lock”. I hope someone can confirm this. 

    The main question which is a deal-breaker for me: Do third part apps (like Strava, etc) get the always-on display ability or not? I don’t want to always have to lift my arm to check data on my third party exercise apps in the middle of a workout. If not, I will wait until Series 7.

  • China passes the world's strictest user data protection law

    I find it ironic that the Chinese government demands strict data privacy from Chinese companies, yet turns right around and essentially breaches all of that to spy on its own citizens, not to mention the entire world.
    Precisely. The irony here is overwhelming.
