Before jumping into "Apple is taking orders from the Chinese government" theories, there may be other perfectly reasonable reasons for this change. Like, for instance, the fact that AirDrop has been used as a medium for sending obscene images to st…

chadbag said: Water cooling by itself doesn't boost performance. It gives you expanded headroom to change and boost performance parameters. Yes, but maybe not. That was definitely true in the old days when CPUs ran at a fixed clock speed. …

Interestingly, it appears that its predecessor (the original Angry Birds, as a free download with ads and in-app purchases) is no longer in the app store. It doesn't even show up in my purchase history on the phone where I have it installed. On the…

If the rumors about the 4-way connectivity module (M1 Ultra-Max?) prove to be true, then that module would support up to 256 GB of RAM. Which may be enough for the entire Mac Pro market. Or they may introduce a new kind of module (M2?) that can sup…

rob53 said: Mac Pro, up to 12 TB ports? Are these mainly on PCIe cards? Yes. If you look at the specs page, the high-end video cards (the Radeon Pro W5700X, W6800X, W6900X and W6800X Duo) each include four TB3 ports and one HDMI port. The…

There are quite a lot of people who want a small phone. I read posts by them whenever the subject comes up. They liked the 3.5" screen from the iPhone 4 and often complain that everything sold today is too big. The SE2, being the smallest screen …

This looks like an incremental change to what they're already shipping. For example, the older MacBook Airs, with aluminum bezels around the screen, have a camera-in-use light that is almost completely invisible when it is not lit. The LED is behin…

It's a nice looking device, but I wouldn't trust any space heater with "smart" controls. Nearly all space heaters you buy include warnings not to run them unattended. The ones in my home are unplugged when not in use. Despite all of the latest saf…

So the author is saying what? Apple will someday cut off support for apps that don't upgrade, so you should summarily stop using them today. To what purpose? Make sure you suffer today instead of waiting for some unspecified time in the future when…
