    Why make this announcement on X, a disinformation platform owned by the unelected co-President trying to force Apple to abandon the DEI policies that are at the absolute core of its company values? Why is anyone who opposes what this administration is doing still on X when their presence there only helps Musk monetize it? 
    Just stop.  There’s enough places on the Internet for you to go whine about politics.

  • Apple SSD in Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pro fixed to motherboard, not removable

    Dear Apple,

    Stop doing this shit.  No one likes it.  It's of zero benefit to your customers.  We don't care if it allows the laptop to be two microns thinner or a tenth of a gram lighter.  Two things should always be user upgradeable:  RAM and a hard drive.  If the motherboard or some power port is hard to access and replace, so be it.  Most people will never touch those things.  But if my hard drive craps out or the RAM goes blinky, I should be able to pop open a case, pull the bad part out and snap the good one in.  

    I love Apple products, but this shit is getting old.


    Waahhh.... 

    It's a non-issue for just about everyone.  The fact that you feel progress means denying you a rarely-used ability is of zero consequence for just about everyone else.

    Go cry elsewhere.  This is a solid update, removes a known failure-point, and uses the fastest SSD drives around.  Get lost.

    Perfectly safe in jolly ol England.  No one is allowed to have firearms there.

    Oh yeah, car thieves are so well known for obeying the law.
    One reason why banning guns never works. It ensures only the criminals have them. 
    Gun laws are only affect law-abiding citizens.

  • Apple stock bloodbath continues after China applies retaliatory tariffs

    Sounds like a great time for Apple to do a massive stock buyback.

    Mods... get rid of these political BS comments.  If I want that, I'll go to CNN or Fox News.
