OMG, PCIe slots? I think I'm hyperventilating. I hope it is true.

It would be awesome if AI did an article series for equivalent to Adobe [product name] with both paid and open source alternatives. Our University got the same letter and we have Adobe on so much, it'd be nice to try and get our users to try altern…

rogifan_new said: One developer is pushing back on Apple’s explanation. https://freedom.to/blog/statement-from-freedom-about-the-app-store/ I do still suspect that they got rid of apps that competed with their new feature even though th…

canukstorm said: OutdoorAppDeveloper said: The apps only "misused enterprise tools" because Apple refused to provide an official SDK that let the app developers do what the users wanted. Make no mistake this is fully intentional on App…

citpeks said: It's an unpleasant thought, but in many ways Apple now represents what loyal users hated about MS in the past, having that market power and not being afraid to throw it around. *nods in agreement, furiously.*

chasm said: I’m very disappointed that so few commenters actually read the article before commenting. As stated in the article, this has exactly ZERO to do with the apps “competing” with Screen Time, and EVERYTHING to do with using unauthoriz…

I don't mind hard drives in the lower end models, but why in 2019 is Apple still shipping 5400rpm drives? 7200 or even 10k rpm drives would be a boost and probably a few dollars more for them per unit. You can debate processors all day long, but f…

If anyone thinks they are "safe" from snooping sites, ad tracking, and whatever else just by the browser you choose, you're a bit on the delusional side. Regardless of plugins that stop it (and some are really helpful at it) no one is safe. Get a …

*sigh* Are PCIe slots such a hard concept for Apple to grasp? I don't want a stack of pancakes, I want a Mac with slots so industry standard components can be used and vendors are encouraged to provide Mac support for their, in many cases, existing…

I wonder if these were mostly the cheap rip-offs that looked exactly like the Apple ones. I've seen a couple that are spot on matches, but the bar codes/info are clearly not Apple. The casual user/non-techie would probably not notice this. The on…
