  • Snap, Facebook using loopholes to bypass App Tracking Transparency

    I’m of the idea that a great part of this “right to privacy” is BS. 
    As of the quantity of data that a company like FB/snap/Apple/google has about interactions with content my guess is that most of what we hear is noise.

  • Apple Acoustics VP hints that Bluetooth could be holding back AirPods

    mariowincomariowinco
    What’s holding me back on buying airpods again is that the battery cannot be replaced.
    but all the vendors have the same limits on this product class. Life

  • Compared: M2 MacBook Air vs Surface Laptop Go 2

    mariowincomariowinco
    Microsoft includes a four-speaker sound system in its MacBook Air, complete with Dolby Atmos support with Spatial Audio. The headphone jack is also better in that it contains high-impedance headphone 

    Typo here

  • Apple's Self Service Repair answers critics, doesn't help users

    mariowincomariowinco
    It will open the door to small shops doing (better and easier) repairs. Welcome addition! We should thank regulators on this one. Next: upgrade capabilities!

  • Mac Studio 2023 review: You probably want this, and not the Mac Pro

    I suppose seeing the price tag for non-Apple-installed RAM is what bugs people when they reach for their mouse to increase the RAM prior to purchase.  Is this RAM they install more expensive because it has to be formatted differently from the manufacturer in order to accommodate the Mac assembly process for their drives?  Is the memory in a smaller footprint than, say, RAM chips for the 2018 Mac mini?  I get the whole thing about paying for stability up front, but it always seems I'm getting gouged for it.  Getting nicked is expected; it's the gouging that leaves a bad taste.
    If I understand properly, ram is now packed into chip, and essentially apple is deactivating the silicon you do not pay for

  • Review: Apple's entry-level 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro is yesterday's tech for today's price...

    Most of Apples product line is yesterday’s technology at today’s or premium price. Wake up mac users and fellow apple fans. Problem is the alternatives still suck worse! So we can’t just use other stuff. The only effective way to make Apple better, and to do the right thing and give us truly an amazing hardware/software integrated experience is to keep your old stuff. Don’t buy, unless Apple makes it truly compelling (not hype) but truly compelling and. a special product. You will know when that moment happens for you. 
    No. Every Apple product I’ve kept lasted us many years. We still have a Mac Mini 2007 for some chores at home. Same for my iPad first retina (the one that lasted 6 months as the top model) that I use for my secondary kindle account. 
    But yes. Some products are expensive. In February I’ve sold a gorgeous IPad Pro 2019 with keyboard & pencil ‘cause there is not a huge difference with the entry level iPad (for our use cases). And I’m now probably going to sell our new Apple TV ‘cause the remote stinks (and the old Apple TV 3rd gen gives almost the same value). My sensation is that sometimes form is more important than value nowadays and flexibility (and value) are compromised.

    Part of the reason I give iPhones to my grandmas and aunts is because of exactly this. 
    No matter what they download, they will not destroy their phone.

    I choose security with my eyes closed. 
    If you want a platform where you can do whatever, it already exists, it's called Android, just go away.
    You can put a setting “use just Apple Store”. Does not look so complicated, isn’t it?

  • Periscope lens camera rumored to be limited to iPhone 15 Pro Max

    mariowincomariowinco
    What I still do not understand is why an iPad Pro costing north of 1k usd/eur etc cannot have “the best camera available”.
