"Apple could solve these issues by using security and other proprietary "add-ons" in iMessage the way others like WhatsApp, Signal, and Google do." Why should Apple add add-ons to Messages when Messages works just fine? Messages isn't the problem, G…

So what's going to happen with GS drops the Apple Card? Will Apple simply change to a different bank? If/When they do what's that going to do to my credit? Will it cause a drop when it's cancelled and again when the next bank does a credit check?

Maybe it's about time the USA starts charging Canadian "visitors" every time they come across the border to buy gas and groceries at a big discount over Canadian prices. Check the Costco gas station in Bellingham, WA, and see how many cars with BC p…

Doesn't surprise me. Microsoft has been producing insecure software since the very beginning. Remember all the macro issues? Nothing has really changed.

Does anyone know how much Apple charges for CarPlay? I'm sure most car manufacturers want the cheapest costing parts in their vehicles so I assume most use some form of free/cheap Android system with the least amount of programming necessary. I have…

Wow, a historical piece. I haven't seen anyone even mention Apple's Open Directory for more than two decades. Microsoft, in one of its many anti-competitive practices, more or less forced all US government and corporate entities to use AD. Since the…

I hope CarPlay stops dropping its WiFi connection to Alpine decks. That would be the best new feature I’d like.

I have an Alpine deck in my 2013 Tacoma. It's very easy to change between CarPlay and the other car features the Alpine deck has configured. This deck doesn't control much of my Tacoma but there really isn't that much Toyota would even allow you to …

Why would I use a Microsoft product? It's like using a Google product. Give them my info and they sell it or lose it.

"Given that the shooter is in the US, it's more than 50/50 that it's an iPhone." In other words, 50/50 means you're either right or wrong. He was a kid, republican, conservative living in Butler, PA. Butler's median income is half the average income…

I really don't care about how many phones China has sold. All this garbage about percentages. Apple sold 45.2M phones in China. That's still a lot. Apple continues to sell millions of phones of every year. I'd rather see total sales figures than per…

At this point, Apple needs to stop selling anything in Russia. Let Russia try and make their own computing devices. There are plenty of honest people in Russia but until their crazy people in charge are no longer there, it's not worth the minor amou…

Easiest way to find anything in System Settings is to use the search feature. As for selecting a different web browser, I don't see why anyone would even want to have anything related to Google running on their Mac. (I've never heard of Arc.)

Is there any way I can block all access from EU IP addresses? The EU's misguided (money of course) laws will put everyone else in the world at risk of malware from EU computer devices. I'd also need to make sure any VPN connections originated from E…
