Maybe teach the women how to inspect their iPhones for NSO Pegasus spyware. Apple should not be supporting Saudi oppression of women with this philanthrocapitalism. It only reinforces their subservience. "Look, women can program computers while wear…

Huh? You're a little late to the game. I've been using Mac Photoshop on my iMac 5k with Astropad with my iPad Pro 12.9 second gen since like 2017. I've been using Photoshop since version 0.96b and Illustrator 88, and as a graphics professional, I as…

Nice to see Kathryn Bigelow. I taught her how to use scriptwriting software on her new Mac II, back in the 80s.

I just want a huge MUTE button I can smash when some obnoxious commercial appears. There is a general problem with custom keyboards like this, you become dependent on them and when you have to work on some other machine without the key gadget, you h…

There was something conspicuously missing from this review: technical tests. This looks like reviews based on a mere visual inspection, did the reviewer think the cable looked nice and flexed nicely? There is massive confusion over which USB-C cable…

NOT holographic. It's a lenticular stereogram.

They use screws or 3M adhesive to prevent someone stealing the whole security box. Looks like I could open it with a butter knife. (facepalm)

OK it’s Monday, where is the update?

For Apple computer owners, the most horrifying website in existence is "What if I had bought Apple stock instead?" It lists the retail price of Mac computers when new, and the equivalent value of AAPL stock purchased with that money at that time. Bu…

There are a variety of traditional artist's workbenches, that picture of the guy painting really reminds me of the "art horse." I'll post a pic of one. They are sort of a bench that you straddle, facing a flat easel. We had these in the drawing clas…

I recently found some Polaroid pics I took at my first Apple dealership in 1980. The one that interests me is the one that made my career: an Apple ][ with a 10Mb Corvus hard disk. That's it over on the left. Corvus made the first hard disks availab…

I bought one of the Nomad iPhone wireless charging stands. The design looked good, it just seemed about 30% too expensive. Now with this discount, it's much better. Oh darn I got spoiled by Amazon Prime, $8 for 2 day shipping. Eh the whole thing is …

I have an iPod mini like this, sitting in a drawer somewhere. Do I recall correctly that this had a Firewire to 30 pin cable? Ah those were the days, when Macs had high speed Firewire instead of this newfangled USB thing. One notable feature of this…

That red ESC key is really hideous, they should include a plain keycap to replace it.

I was particularly intrigued by the SWTPC PR-40 printer, I saw a demo for one at a local Homebrew Computer Club, probably around 1976. It was a unique thermal printer, because it used aluminized thermal paper. The printhead electrodes made contact w…

I don't understand why the enclosure is so tall. The two circuit boards don't need to be placed end to end, they could be stacked so the max height is the size of the CPU board. Also why is the enclosure such bright colors? I'd make it neutral grey …
