I still don't get why Apple bought Beats, why!?

Mostly because it allowed them to release Apple Music.

Shall we bet on how much time passes between Samsung mocking Apple for the increase and Samsung subsequently raising their prices by $100?

Forget about the politics and all the other craziness. Just look at Tim’s face. It’s hilarious …especially next to Trump’s. How does he even do that? I am soo lmao every time I look at it. This picture is Pulitzer material.

Reminiscent of Fauci's facepalm when Trump was suggesting humans inject bleach into their bodies and shove lights up their rear end to cure Covid.

I feel your pain. My daughter purchased a m2 Mac Mini when it first came out out. She used it with a second hand Display until it failed. Money was tight so she went with a Samsung smart display. She ended up taking the Mini to the store and asking their tech manager to fix the display or replace it with something else. It took the manager nearly two hours of fiddling around with display settings to eventually get it setup correctly. When you connect to an Apple monitor it just automatically sets itself up but another brand needs manual settings to make it work and they are in many different places. It can be accomplished through so keep trying. 

Odd. My MBP is connected two dual LG 4K displays and I’ve literally had no issues. I could force my Mac into a native resolution, in which case I’d have tiny everything, but that’s certainly not the default. One would have to explicitly select that display resolution. It’s also quite simple to select a non-HiDP resolution to resolve the problem.

Anti Business and Anti American liar in chief.

I honestly thought I was getting moderate Scranton Joe and he wasn’t the typical new  Democrat when I voted for him 2 years ago , I thought I was getting Bill Clinton again but we are getting a socialist . 

Let’s let the Chinese spy balloon fly over USA for week letting it do god knows what but let’s go after our own great American companies with help of Europeans. 

Ever seen anyone do a self knee cap?

Funny stuff, particularly the "socialist" thing. I guess, though, once you get so far to the right, even the center seems like a "far left" position from that perspective.

Nope 

Yep. Sadly, a significant percentage of Americans really need to look up the actual meaning of the word socialism. Likewise, most of those same people also need to look up the definition of communism.

It's very sad how far America has fallen in the past 30-40 years.

Twenty bucks for 4K while other streaming services include it in their basic plan. What a ripoff.

$20.00 for 4k and 4 streams that they don't want to share... it's a joke.

Did you not understand the consequences of sharing passwords with others that aren't authorized or sending copies of software not licensed to others? 

This sort of thing often punishes legal users while doing little to prevent illegal behavior. Back when I used Microsoft Office, its activation system frequently told me my code had been used too many times despite the fact that I’d had to re-image my hard drive and reinstall. It was a nightmare having to call in and wait for an actual human to reset my license, while pirates are easily able to download cracked versions of the software.

My daughter is off at college now and my son leaves after this summer. Are they no longer going to be able to use out Netflix account even though they’re still eligible for all the other family benefits that are out there (while, again, pirates can easily download Netflix content to circumvent what should otherwise be allowed)?

Shame this vehicle is a festering pile of poop. Really, SUVs in general are ridiculous vehicles brilliantly marketed to people who (generally speaking) have more money than brains, but I rented a Compass once a few years ago (it was, quite literally, the only thing they had left) and it was awful. The thing was really cheaply made (the entire interior was made with cheap-feeling plastic parts) and it was so dramatically underpowered that it was painfully slow trekking up the gradual incline into the mountains of North Carolina.

At least now, thanks to Apple, it has one positive selling point

What's Skype?

No really. I had Skype for years and it was okay, but I switched several months ago to Ooma and am very pleased with the switch. The lack of a Mac client is a drawback, and the iOS client isn't quite as good (yet), but the service at home is sooooooo much better.
