Wonder how much free advertising Apple gets out of this? Wonder if supposed author can now be taken to court by folks who have lost money on anything crypto related?

We had off-site storage of LTO tapes at a hardened location the last place I worked before retirement. The USAF base in town used the same location for some of their offsite storage. Four levels of monthly full system backup (two most recent off…

Last few days, have seen same problem on Ventura 13.2.1. Using "reset identifier" (under weather tab) seems to clear problem most of the time. Slow to update at times. Once I get it to populate the window, I keep it minimized. Also see simila…

Suspect ALL laptop and desktop makers will see a slow-down for 1-3 years. Along with layoffs at Google, non-engineers will receive a Chromebook by default. (As most of you know, Google develops the ChromeOS used on Chromebooks.) Refresh cycle…

Will be interested to hear the final verdict. Wondering if the Police/DA found any relevant social media posts. If prosecution can prove intent, in addition to time in jail, should consider giving victims any vehicles and homes owned by the de…

The shift pattern on different manual transmission vehicles is also different. In the past, I've driven a manual GMC, five VW's (Beatles and a Type3/Fastback), a Toyota Corolla, and a couple of Jeep CJ-7s. The shift pattern on the older, air-coole…

I've never had cable tv. Mostly watch over the air, and series that are no additional charge with Amazon Prime. Looks like I save the equivalent of three 14" MacBook Pros every 10 years.

Companies are having to pull back on spending. Didn't understand Apple's use of funds for this project. Saw that recent layoffs at Microsoft are hitting AR and VR staff hard. Intel just reported a suboptimal/bad quarter...

Many of the folks who will ultimately buy one of the M2Pro/M2Max MBPs are coming from a 3-6 year old laptop, some from a 7-10+ year old one. So comparisons to the prior year's models are of limited utility, unless one is considering buying a discon…

"...a statement from NortonLifeLock parent company Gen Digital revealed that approximately 925,000 inactive and active accounts could've been targeted in the attack." Glad I haven't used Norton on personally owned computers. Also, haven't used any…

Multiple problems over the years, but better record than delivery folks Kroger uses. Has anyone else noticed that if you click the post as button from the main article page after keying in a comment, the comment is trashed, and you cannot copy th…

This is what many large companies do with tens or hundreds of thousands of units (including one large company that formerly made everything from light bulbs to jet aircraft engines). There are commonly two types of leases that a company may use, on…

Interesting. Looks like you can buy the machine at lease-end (and have spent about the same as the list price). Or, turn it back in (and have spent less than the un-discounted price). Maybe BBY assumes they can make money on difference between wh…

Maybe earlier speculation on refusal of price hike was wrong (like lots of other Apple-related "news"). TSMC (TSM) likely provided data that price hike was justified. Switching to Samsung would have set back development. Out five years, others…

Other sources indicate the 130 watt battery pack has also been recalled for fire hazard issues. I'd be a bit more worried about the battery packs than the chargers. Will it be a (very) hot time in the old town tonight? https://www.cpsc.gov/Recal…

Next thing that needs to change: Printer manufacturers need to drop the annoying messages when owners choose to use a third party inkjet cartridge. "You did not install a genuine cartridge." "This may damage your printer and invalidate your warra…
