  • Notifications in iOS 17 are too quiet, and there's nothing you can do about it

    Graeme000Graeme000
    Ooo this is a welcome change! No more constant dings of other people receiving messages or getting updates.

  • Apple Fitness+ review: Two years later, barely treads water

    Graeme000Graeme000
    I just bought an indoor bike so I was getting ready to sign up for Fitness+ again, but this review may have changed my mind with just one sentence: "You cannot filter workouts by exercise equipment". I want to be able to filter "20 minute bike workouts". I have zero interest in scrolling through waves of screens to find what I'm looking for. If anyone knows different, I'd love to know.
    You can specifically select/filter bike workouts. There are different categories like running, cycling, yoga, hiit, etc.

    I disagree with a lot of this article. Like someone else said, TikTok is a joke and I would never conisider a Peloton. Apple Fitness+ is definitely a nice middle ground.

  • Trump vs. Harris: How to watch the September 10 Presidential debate online

    Strange times.

    The debate is a formality. We know what we are getting with each person. It's not a mystery. The question is, do we want an America that looks like the last 4 years at home and on the world stage? Or do we want a country that looks like it did in the previous admin, both at home and abroad? It's not rocket science.

    As someone outside of the USA and regarding you question: do you want a country that looks like it did in the previous admin abroad: it was an embarrassment and a laughing stock around the world. I suspect you don't want that again.

  • Even with so many demonstrated use cases, Apple Vision Pro might not yet have a purpose

    Graeme000Graeme000
    I think we're also going to see the iPhone adopt another camera so that it can take Spatial Videos and Photos. If everyone is making them, more people will want to see them through the Vision Pro. Maybe there is a way to see them on the phone too by moving the phone around the photo/video.

  • Volvo to focus on value adds outside the infotainment system, will leave CarPlay alone

    Graeme000Graeme000
    Hopefully they're adding physical buttons back too. I test drove an XC40 a couple years ago while car shopping and had to quickly nix it from the list after trying to adjust the fan speed. The salesperson suggested I try voice control. Not likely. All touchscreen and voice control has been proven to be more distracting than physical knobs.

  • Apple plans a thinner and more expensive iPhone 17 for 2025

    Graeme000Graeme000
    I don't think it counts if the camera bump still sticks out beyond the back of the phone.

  • GM ditching Apple CarPlay is about money, not safety

    Graeme000Graeme000
    GM also suggested they’ll have voice controls for safety. Meanwhile, studies have shown that voice controls can require enough focus to inhibit driving just as much as being drunk.

  • Apple cut too much by removing MagSafe from the iPhone 16e

    Graeme000Graeme000
    This seems like an extreme take. My wife and I have had MagSafe capable phones since they came out and, without any MagSafe accessories, charge primarily with Qi chargers without any issues. I have one at my desk and bedside table and don’t have a second thought when placing my phone to charge on either of them. 

    Maybe I’m missing out never having used it, but without it, I certainly don’t crave it or feeling like I’m missing anything.

  • A lament for the Touch Bar

    Graeme000Graeme000
    I still use and enjoy my MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar. Although admittedly, the primary thing I use the Touch Bar for is to scrub forward and skip YouTube ads. 
    It does make scrubbing through any videos really easy, but that’s really my main use for it. It’s definitely too inconsistent to know when any other programs use it or not.

    As long as there is beef, there is leather. Beef isn’t going anywhere, so better to utilize what would otherwise go to waste. It’s more efficient use of resources, more respectful to the sacrifice of the animal, and results in better quality products. 

    I see that there is an industry-sponsored website that argues your exact point. What a coincidence! The website wants to convince us not to trouble our little heads on the subject leather. Still, leather is not merely a by-product of the beef industry. It is an integral part of the business. A significant proportion of the world’s population is vegetarian. I live in a place that is substantially vegetarian with a significant proportion of veganism (no dairy, no eggs etc.). Every bakery has eggless items on sale here. Vegetarianism and veganism are on the rise in the West, driven by health, environmental, and ethical reasons. On the other hand, meat eating increases as populations get better off, notably in China.
    Veganism is a fad amongst a certain type of the population, it's certainly not a significant portion of the population, no where near it!
    Just to note, Alex_V’s message says they “live in a place that is substantially vegetarian.” They aren’t claiming that the population in general is vegetarian/vegan. It also certainly isn’t a fad considering that a portion of the population has been vegetarian for thousands of years.
