Anyone want to lay the odds on them being in divorce court within five years?

THAT'S a bet on which I wouldn't take the short odds!

What odds will you give for the guy wearing his Vision Pro in divorce court?

Looks like Apple is selling a Kardashian vibrator. 

TPLink and other vendors likely have backdoors into your router already.  If they don't, they just need to push out a firmware update and your router is probably configured to install it.  At that point they can do anything with your network traffic.  In the event of hostilities, they may just brick all of our our network devices.

BTW, at least the first Airport models were actually made by Lucent.  I don't know if Apple made the later models.  I had them and they were nice,

In a truly E2E (iCloud photos are not unless you turn it on) system, hash scanning doesn't work as Apple never sees the original content on their servers. The only way to do it is to scan on device before anything goes anywhere. Apple's original annoucment around this effort was somewhat convoluted (but actually pretty smart) and didn't trigger on single matches (for fasle-positive reasons you mention) but it did have to do with scanning actual content not just hashes, which is why there's probably confusion.

As I understood it, your device would have a csam hash database and your device would hash your images, so the detection would happen on your device using data on your device.  In any case, the technique involved hashes and not trying to determine the image content.

This level of micromanagement is insane. Do these EU regulators have nothing at all to do other than to constantly harass Apple? 

Aren't those guys the ones who want all phones to use the same sort of charging cable?

This feature will be able to use the temperature sensors already part of the HomePods.  You can check your indoor temps but it seems like Apple never highlights that feature so far.

No way it's 4x across all carriers but in sure it's doing well.  

I see. I wonder if it's at least 2x across the board?

You can wonder about that. Apple didn't prebuild twice as many and the back orders aren't that long. It's a great phone and Apple will sell many millions. It will be their best selling phone ever, of course. But it won't come close to double the 6. 

Think about it: sales are double and Apple doesn't want to talk about it?

Apparently he's still with the company but reports to Jeff Williams now, not Tim Cook.

That is not a promotion. It sounds like he was getting a lot of money for not a lot of results. The Apple Watch seems to be doing fine but the high fashion aspect seems to have been a failure.

The only problem I have with the MBP is the price and yet I find this article to be condescending BS. 

Seems pretty expensive. I might try the free play but not much chance I would pay for more.
