Where did this absurd obsession with "staying hydrated" come from? All expert medical advice says simply "drink when you are thirsty" unless you are , for example, running a marathon. Think about it - thousands of years of evolution would not result…

As an App developer, I can categorically state that what Apple does for their 15%-30% is just massive - it's an amazing business infrastructure. For example, dealing with tax laws in multiple regions is a nightmare that Apple just 'handles' for yo…

Funny how all the cry-babies at Apple that got so much press have gone suddenly quiet - maybe they looked down the road at the massive layoffs at pretty much every tech company and were, hmmm, time to buckle down and shut-up. Obviously Apple HR is r…

It might offend our sensitive western sensibilities who have romantic visions of village life in rural India, but a regular paid job in a clean and safe factory environment is a major upgrade from dirty, unsafe work in the fields or a slum. China pu…

It's a cynical move for sure. At the moment they can make good money in the HomeKit market as all the cheap junk from China won't go to the trouble and expense to be HK compatible. If Matter catches on and the playing field is leveled, "poof" goes t…

This is a big deal. Windows 11/ARM was NOT previously officially supported under parallels. Any questions you asked in a Microsoft forum or anywhere else were shutdown with “unsupported”. With Microsoft now officially supporting Parallels, it opens …

It was amusing how the chattering tech media seemed to think that since Siri couldn't answer questions like Alexa or Google then the HomePod was a failure. Now look at Alexa - Amazon is/was losing many millions selling them below cost and is cutting…

I think it's amusing that for all the hype of AI it is reduced to producing images of cats in spacesuits as if that is some great achievement. It's novel , and interesting, but it just comes from feeding a machine learning algorithm millions of imag…

Sounds like BS to me. How can you lose that much money on a credit card business unless a vast number of customers default on payments or there is massive fraud. The fraud aspect is unlikely as the Apple Card is an order of magnitude safer than most…

I love 1Password and have no issues with their subscription model. I am happy to support the evolution of the software that way, rather than having to pay upgrade fees. Their 1PW8 electron based app is excellent, no complaints there, it's better th…

More likely it is alerting emergency that the person has had a hard fall - not that you have been in a car crash. That feature has been on the Apple Watch for a long time, it nearly called 911 after I had a big endo on a mountain bike,

1Password is 100% secure as the data is encrypted not only by your password but by the secret key (long). No one can decrypt your data. You are at much more risk of someone stealing your laptop or iDevice and figuring out your password/passcode - h…

Amusing after all the hate from the chattering IT media about the HomePod and Siri and how Amazon and Alexa/Echo was SO much better. Now we find that Amazon is/was bleeding millions from selling Echo speakers below cost and that people don't ask th…

There is a big difference between crash detection and fall detection during exercise. Both call 911. It’s much more likely it’s fall detection. I have triggered fall detection mountain biking.
