Which is just another reason why Facebook needs to be hit with an anti-trust lawsuit: now he’s actually publicly musing about leveraging dominance in one market (social media) into an unfair advantage in other markets, like online markets.

HomePods weren’t overpriced. The shoddiest bookshelf speakers, an wimpy amp, and a BT Receiver or an AirPort Express cost a lot more. The problem was Apple’s marketing. Should have sold it in pairs as an AppleTV accessory, rather than as single spe…

Kind of pointless article. The question isn’t if these headphones can do the job, at their price, they better can. The question is, how do they rank vs. top performing headphones, and, no, e.g. BOSE isn’t among them. The question is: how much fide…

People who mock the HomePod obviously never had a pair. I was very skeptical at first, but needed something without lots of fuss for cabling to use with a projector and an AppleTV; then saw some test measurements and decided to take the plunge and …

Just damn obnoxious: it solves NO problem, but it PREVENTS some problem from being solved. You can’t check for a range of serial numbers with premature battery failures, etc. anymore: it obscures patterns in hardware problems for anyone but Apple wh…

All anyone needs is like a compact USB-C hub with say a dozen USB-C ports, There are regular USB3 Hubs like that, but it takes a senseless plethora of cables just to deal with booking things up to the computer (USB-C) or the hub (USB-A). Finally w…

Very easy: have two modes for iOS: one akin to macOS, where the user has full control, another one that’s jailed. support and warranty is applicable only in jailed mode. in full access mode, any app can be installed, with the corresponding consequ…

Ridiculous! And where’s the antitrust investigation for sign-in with Google, Facebook, etc.?

Fine. I miss the old QuickTime where third parties could simply provide format plugins, allowing support for any media type in any app that was adhering to QT standards, provided anyone cared enough about a format to provide a plug-in for it. Apple…

Any conversion utilities?

A sign of things to come, and that without taking into account Apple’s proprietary neural engine, GPU, etc.: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16073/arm-announces-neoverse-v1-n2

While Netflix now has a lot of proprietary content, they started out with licensing. Apple could do the same, and it would also be a niche: Imagine if you had to subscribe to each record company’s music streaming service to get their music! But th…
