Up to 10 years for $2 million. Punishment seems a bit light at $200,000/yr. (even lighter if less than 10 years). White collar criminals need to be punished in a way that discourages the act. Law makers need to increase maximum jail term, and con…

Surprised I'm not getting fake "you've just won" emails on this yet. I've been getting fake emails on the goggles for some time now. Would really like to see an effective email filter, or maybe a manual return to sender option that sends hundreds …

Problem with a few financial websites cleared within 24 hours. Suspect software on those sites was initially confused by Safari version number, or something else in 13.4.1.

After 13.4.1 update, trouble logging on to multiple financial websites with Safari, but no problem with Firefox.

Part of the issue may be the daughter is autistic (according to early part of story) Some autistic children are very adept at one or more activities. Bill Gates is said to have a very minor type of autism (Asperger's Syndrome). Some of the high f…

cgWerks said: Bummer, I'll be waiting for the M3 minimally. But, my Intel mini w/eGPU is still doing well, so should make it just fine. Unfortunately, my son needs to buy something in the next few months, so we're probably looking at M1 Max …

"I wonder why no tech journalist has really explored that Apple Microsoft deal?" As I remember, there were several related cases. One was Apple vs. Microsoft and HP. The GUI was largely developed around 1973 by Xerox (Alto), which never was neve…

In the past, some CEOs have taken a pay cut in similar situations. Sometimes to a token $1 salary for the year. Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are examples. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-dollar_salary

Some/most of the more expensive docks from Plugable have firmware/software to increase the number of displays on a base M1 machine. This is a hub, so I suspect it does not come with similar software. If it does provide similar functionality, it wo…

Thanks to all the folks who beta test OS releases and application software. Too old for that stuff now, but did some site level/corporate integration testing and test environment builds in my younger days. Last work along those lines was about 7 y…

Most likely, after a few more years of manufacturing moving to Vietnam, we will see movement to Africa, which has lower cost labor than China, India or Vietnam. The manufacturing that has returned to US has mostly been accompanied by massive automa…

Before retirement, I spent 16 years working at a firm that had export controlled (by the US government) data on aviation components. You would not pass a government audit without antivirus software (and more layers of protection than I care to reca…

$25k for a printed book seems a bit steep to me. As does millions for NFTs, $30k for a bitcoin, $50k for a pickup truck... These seem to be priced on the greater fool theory. People hope that a greater fool (than you) will be willing to pay mor…

Nothing different here than at GM or GE. GE has a habit of paying little or no taxes to the IRS. GM has often sold more cars in China than in the US. Remember that the US is only about 4.5% of the world population. China and India are closer…
