  • Apple Watch bands harbor dangerous bacteria -- because no one cleans them

    Apple cider vinegar sucks! Samsung cider vinegar is far superior and was out first.

  • Apple Watch Series 7 has a fast charging problem

    I was really enjoying reading this article about a piece of tech that I love wearing, Apple Watch Series 7 45mm. But then my enjoyment of the article came to a dead stop. The writer of this article says it is all but impossible to differentiate between the “standard” Apple Watch charging puck (USB-A) and the series 7 charging puck (USB-C)… The charging puck that comes with the series 7 is distinctly different, it has a silver colored trim around the outer edge! I doubt anyone would fail to differentiate between the slower charging plain white puck and the silver edged faster charging puck (they even feel distinctly different if handled with our eyes closed. Yet again someone publishes an article which contains a blaring mistake, I’m guessing that the articles printed on AI don’t go through a “proof checking” process because this isn’t the first article I’ve found to contain mistakes  (an occasional acknowledgment of my eagle eyes would be very welcome. But it can’t be nice having an article taken to task by someone who doesn’t claim to be a journalist, so the deafening silence doesn’t surprise me…).
    The silver colored trim does not indicate fast charging. Steel Apple Watches have always come with a more premium silver trim charging puck whereas the cheaper aluminum watches come with plastic charging pucks. I have a steel series 5 and it came with the steel charging puck.

    It’s too bad you don’t proof check your own comments. If you’re going to sound like a total douche it’s nice to at least be right, just saying…

  • Apple must pay EU $14 billion over Ireland tax arrangement

    I suppose the U.S. government could again try to get involved, filing a complaint of some sort, since that's where the money that Ireland will collect will ultimately effectively be coming from. 

    How is the money effectively coming from the US government and not from Apple?

  • Apple's Mac Studio launches with new M1 Ultra chip in a compact package

    Okay, so there were two statements made that sealed the fate of the larger iMac. The first was that the Mac Studio and Studio display were the perfect for 27” iMac users. The second statement was at the very end when he said there was only one Mac left to transition, the Mac Pro.

    So, there will be no iMac Pro, no iMac with a larger screen. The 24” iMac is it. The Mac Studio is the future and I’m okay with that.


    He did say that there was only one mac left to transition but I can't recall anyone saying Mac Studio and Studio Display were perfect for 27" iMac users. Who said that? What's the timestamp?

  • How to hide all but your open apps in macOS Dock

    mongobongomongobongo
    I've had my dock set up to only show open apps for years but I didn't have to run any terminal commands to do so. I've simply removed all apps from the dock. Just right klick any app and deselect "Keep in Dock" under Options. Open apps are still showing and quitting an app makes it disappear from the dock. I'm not sure if the end result is any different? But it sure was a very simple way to do it :)
