Just as I predicted in previous article post.

But I’m sure this will turn political nonetheless.

Because profits...

Because values...

How is it "values" when the article YOU quoted says they were forced to!?

Intel said it had been "required to ensure that its supply chain does not use any labour or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region" following restrictions imposed by "multiple governments".

This display was a disappointment to me. By excluding a mini-LED back light, it’s nothing more than an iMac 27” screen in a new case with good speakers at a stupid price. I’m sure the reason for the omission of mini-emission is that it would cannibalize the 6K XDR thingy. With an array like the new MacBook Pros or the freak’n iPad Pro 12.9” there’s no reason they couldn’t have included this critical element… then make an updated 6K with better back lights too.

But the good news is, there are so many options for HDR displays today, at much better price-points, that people like me can do without this under-performing product.

Apple hit a grand slam with the Mac Studio, but fouled-out with an error on the Display. Yet, they still won the game with the Mac.

Problem is that none of the other displays today offer built in webcam, speakers, and a single TB uplink/connection. Everything out there lacks all of those features.

Noticed a lot of people trumpeting what platforms they've never joined or have recently left. Is that the new hipster thing to do!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Google really shouldn't be one to talk. The list of proprietary messaging platforms that they've launched and abandoned is absurd. After half a dozen, they couldn't get it done right so just gave up and went to complain about how Apple nailed it on the first try.

This screams anti-trust if they have any intention of making Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox and PC.    Half of company’s revenue is generated on PlayStation and mobile.I don’t see the point in Microsoft buying it.

Microsoft has a horrible M&A record.  It is where company’s go to die 

Did you even READ the article!? IF this deal goes through, it would put them into THIRD place. As for exclusivity, that's how it works. Did you harp about how all the Sony exclusive content!? What about Sony limiting Spider-Man games to the Playstation only? This is how IP works.

HomeKit has been an absolute PIA this past couple weeks for me. Practically every device that’s wirelessly connected would have HomeKit “no response” errors in the home app. Native apps for all the devices can still connect fine. I’ve narrowed the issue down to devices connected wirelessly to an AP that’s wirelessly meshed (no physical cable uplink). If I reboot that device and it connects to another AP with a physical uplink it works, but if anything reconnects to the wireless AP they go offline in the Home app (but continue to work in their native apps).

Apple support is useless as they just tell me to reset my network ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, even though devices are connected to network just fine since their native apps still work.

Wish there was technical docs on how the network layer works for HomeKit so I can further troubleshoot. 

Mistake by Apple. After proving that permanent work from home works over the last two years (especially for Apple), what excuse do they have to mandate employees go back to the office? The massive benefits that WFH brings to work/life balance has caught on throughout the country, employers will leverage that perk to lure talent and employees will look to companies that offer that.

Considering how often I've read this team gets dissolved, I'm not sure the Apple Car will ever be a thing.
