debohun said: But should there have been a difference? Drawing an absolute moral equivalency between all crimes (White color crime equaling mass murder in your example case), only makes Apple (and AppleInsider) appear to be a pandering partis…

I guess it's not a large country but the Czech Republic must be in the top few countries in Europe for contactless payments. The country went from a totally backwards system of only cash and you had to have exact change, to chip and PIN to contactle…

lkrupp said: I’m still very skeptical about the prospects of autonomous vehicles becoming widespread any time soon. I’ve been reading a lot on the subject and the biggest hurdle is acceptance by the public. Reports by Waymo show intense resis…

There are a number of Apple-style stores in shopping malls in Prague and there are usually more employees than customers in them. As much as I hate the idea of commercialising the centre any more than it already is, a tourist-friendly spot is probab…

Even better, what about an ice-cream glove?

Most of the ads are petty and not particularly funny but the notch haircut is worth a chuckle. We all know that the notch is just a stepping stone - when Apple figures out how to get around it, they will - so there's no need to defend it to the deat…

Tech Den sounds like an awful idea. How about instead of pizza, the reward for not using your device all day is going outside and using your body *says the guy that fortunately doesn't have a teenager yet*

Finally! I bought an indoor sensor at Christmas and was about to buy another and wrap them in cling film for outside but this seems like a better option considering the extended range (and obvious other factors).

That is one ugly switch. How hard can it be to solve the switch problem? Is it regulation? Is it the perceived difficulty of rewiring switches? It seems easy in my mind at least but I'm no electrician. When are these Friends of Hue switches that wer…

chasm said: The Siri and HomeKit-compatible showerhead has been photobombed by the Google Home Wiretap. Nice job, Moen. It's also Assistant-enabled so it's not really a photo bomb so much as intentionally placed there. Maybe they figure …

I want to see these assistants understanding fairly basic home automation tasks better. I could go into my Hue or Nest app and set up a timer or a schedule but i want to be able to ask my assistant simply "Turn on the heating now and turn it off in …
