Agreed with Anilu_777: loud sounds don't cause eardrums to tear, especially the levels that AirPods can deliver. To get real hearing damage from a sound source in a short time, it needs to be really, really loud. Like a gunshot near your head loud…

They want the whole world to be forced to use an extra-crappy version of Windows for everything. There, now it's even.

cgWerks said:I'm sure it will be high quality. I need to look at the specs more... is input just the USB-C/TB? If I wanted to plug in, say a PS5 (or my Intel Mac mini), is there a way to do that and switch inputs? I'm not up on the methods to do…

Agree with @DAlseth. This will delight a very small number of dedicated DIY folks, but won't make any significant real-world difference for the same reason that having wrenches and pipes at Home Depot doesn't threaten plumbers. I'm an engineer and …

Sweeney seems like a total tool. I can't believe we're getting this worked up over something as fundamentally silly as a game maker. Popular, yes. Meaningful and helpful, no.

I recently picked up AirPods 3 as an upgrade from the old AirPods 2. I tried AirPods Pro, but I find in-canal headphones to be uncomfortable and so stuck with AirPods 2 for mobile use. They are mediocre for music but terrific for podcasts and calls …

Same as Kris2112 - my Intel MBP shows the update, but my M1 MacBook Air does not. Waiting to see what happens.

I was just in a large, high-end condo building in Seattle this weekend. 38 floors, only really 37 because there was no "13" on the elevator. Old superstitions persist, from small things like this to some really big things that are outside this threa…

The promise of having 5G replace our broadband connections everywhere is technically interesting, but thus far no actual company has rolled out anything suitable. Until carriers like AT&T start offering reasonably priced, terabyte-sized plans to…

While I'm sure that this will make Neil Young happy, I don't see much of an audience for this feature for one simple reason: the vast majority of listeners won't notice or be able to detect any difference and thus will not bother to pay for or enabl…

bitmod said: Apple missed the mark completely on this... completely. They custom designed a Mac Pro for Pixar... what about the rest of us? FFS... I believe that is the iMac Pro.

AppleExposed said: Apple invented the Podcast. It's a shame they're allowing others to eat their lunch. They didn't invent it, they stumbled into it. Users created the idea. As mentioned in an earlier post, Apple does not monetize podcasts.…

This is rather asymmetrical. Apple doesn't monetize Podcasts, they simply act as a clearinghouse for all those RSS feeds and they make an iOS app. They don't produce podcasts, nor do they manage or profit from advertisements on podcasts. They make p…

We've had both Google Home and HomePod in our house for the past 9 months. We don't use the Google much at all - turns out that the "smart" part isn't really very compelling the vast majority of the time, and I'll probably put it back in its box alo…

The money quote: "Both display extenders using an iPad and the DisplayLink products relied on unsupported workarounds to function in macOS." That really tells me all I need to know.

Another actual data point: my experiences with iTunes Match have been very positive for several years. When I started, I pruned my collection down to a manageable amount - from about 30,000 tracks to around 20,000. It was a good exercise, as it caus…

So far we have iOS 11.0.3 running on iPhone 8 Plus, 7 Plus, 7, and an old iPad Air. Here are my datapoints: iPhone 8 Plus: Came with iOS 11, data restored from iCloud backup. Had daily Springboard-style crashes at first (screen goes black with spin…
