Why you want a macOS home server, and how to get one going
To add videos to iTunes, I cannot recommend VideoDrive (www.aroonasoftware.com) enough. It’s great at converting and tagging all your video files. For conversion it uses HandBrake, and then it adds descriptions and artwork so your own videos look the same as videos purchased from the iTunes Store.
it also monitors an inbox folder for new video files you are downloading. And it supports a server setup and will move video files across the network.
I have been running it for years on my media server and still love it! -
Russian kangaroo court fines Apple two seconds of profit over News row
igorsky said:I don’t know why Apple is still in Russia but I bet there’s a lot of Russian citizens who don’t agree with Russian politicsYou would lose that bet. There is ample evidence online that Russians by and large gleefully support Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, just as they’ve supported Russia’s past military actions.

Apple Music violates EU antitrust laws, $39 billion fine possible
rob53 said:I agree. It’s time Apple tells the EU to take a hike. $39B is a joke.
Who would end up getting this money? Lawyers and EU management? Would any actually go to the "affected" people? Probably not. From what the article appears to say it's all about Apple preventing iOS users from knowing about alternative music subscriptions. That's not worth $39B. The EU needs to be investigated for frivolous lawsuits but of course they won't because they are the government monopoly in Europe. I think Apple, and the US, should challenge the validity of the EU instead dealing directly with the governments of each sovereign country. The EU is simply a cartel.Second, If Apple does business in the EU then the “validity of the EU” (whatever that means) is obvious and it’s not up to foreign companies to choose whether they want to deal with countries or the union.Third, fines are usually added to the EU budget, directly and indirectly impacting the lives of millions of EU citizens. -
Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch
mike54 said:Its not about child protection, it all about getting US Gov surveillance software framework on Apple devices and Apple's best bet on getting this accepted is to use CSAM as the excuse. Their multi-million dollar privacy campaign, in the attempt to distinguish them from Google Android, is washed down the toilet with this single act.
And would the US gov not need to pass a law to make this mandatory? Or keep it a secret so no one knows.But only Apple combined with a public announced makes it completely unlikely the US gov is behind this. -

Dooofus said:Apple should threaten to leave the EU marketplace if this nonsense doesn't end. The EU doesn't deserve nice things.
