I switched to Unifi six years ago but I still have my Time Capsule. I will be retiring it very soon because it’s very slow even with gigabit Ethernet. I turned off the WiFi and routing on the Time Capsule when I moved to Unifi. I have nothing but p…

There are a few of these USB-C docks that place the Mac mini on its side. If anything, this orientation will probably improve the WiFi performance. There is definitely a market for these docks and they are not expensive compared to TB4/TB5 docks. Y…

All of these non-TB form fitting USB-C docks for the new Mac mini have similar bandwidth issues. The ones with built-in M.2 NVMe sockets give you more storage but it’s not particularly speedy. The upside is that you can slap in an inexpensive SSD dr…

Somebody needs to come up with a tiny Find My tag to put on reading glasses. Or maybe just a lightweight Find My tag on an eyeglass holder (lanyard) that works with any glasses, especially sunglasses.

Although I’m 100% against the tariffs because they are ignoring the value proposition that free trade helps foster, I’m at the point now where I’m waiting to see what actually will happen rather than speculating about what might happen. I firmly be…

anonymouse said: Unfortunately, all the robot arms — as well as legs, heads and torsos — will be subject to tariffs. You are pretty much correct. None of the top 10 industrial robot manufacturers are based in the United States. Some of the…

I’m skeptical about Apple being spread too thin … on resources. I’m more inclined to think that the resources they have, including financial ones, schedule, and brainpower, are overly spread out trying to go after too many things all at once. I’d ra…

Very interesting. I’m surprised that Apple’s legal department didn’t deal with this concern earlier. GPL has long been a slippery slope for creating legal issues that can potentially result in your proprietary product code being opened up to public…

Why would anyone ever hate a product that is a discretionary purchase? If they don’t like it they don’t have to buy it. If they don’t like it after buying it they can bring it back, sell it, or chalk it up as a costly purchase that didn’t deliver fo…

Apple Mail has been generally reliable for me with Apple, GMail, Yahoo, and Outlook.com accounts. One thing I love about Apple Mail is the Hide My Email accounts you can set up. I use it extensively for subscriptions for online services. I preconfig…

Tim Cook is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Apple has, since its inception, tried to coexist peacefully in the world market while still holding on to its core values that do not always align with the whims of any particular center of power. …

The only thing that could hold back the thinnest iPhone is the battery run time. If they can get good battery run time I think they will sell extremely well, especially to people who like slender pants, small purses, or hate the weight of the other …

I still think Apple took the best approach they could have with the iPad. It was and still is an exceptionally easy and intuitive machine to operate because of where they started from. If they started with macOS and tried to shoehorn it into the iPa…

When I first got my Mac Studio I moved my USB DAC from my older Mac to the Studio. I started encountering some issues but when I dug in a little deeper I came to realize that I didn't need the DAC anymore. The Mac Studio, and most if not all newer M…

Apple Silicon is one of the best planned and best executed moves by Apple - ever. If you're going to talk about Tim Cook's legacy, Apple Silicon has to be one of the crown jewels of his accomplishments at Apple. Truly masterful. Fortunately, Apple…

A lot of these efforts are not really intended to result in a sellable product. Similar efforts like getting a form of Windows 11 ARM running on a Raspberry Pi fall into the same category. These challenges provide a means for highly capable and driv…

Oopsie. Hats off to all of those who did the right thing. There is still hope.
