FB says that collecting this data is important for showing ad buyers how their ads are performing. So we should expect that data to be destroyed after a few days because it's no longer relevant and, in the meantime, to be firewalled from other data …

I support free speech* but the internet has proved that there need to be some constraints. Paedophilia, terrorism, misogyny and crazy levels of bullying, to name but a few, cannot be left unchecked and unchallenged. There is always a problem of whe…

anome said: MagSafe? Do we know which format it will be? I mean, I kind of like the approach of just plugging in a USB-C charger of the appropriate power, rather than a proprietary connector. Although, if they kept USB-C charging, and added Q…

When I bought the first MBP with a Touch Bar, I assumed Apple had a cunning plan for it. After all, it breaks so many principles of good ergonomics (can't feel it - have to look, buttons move around or disappear, needs an extra tap to wake it (even …

In principle, making devices more repairable and upgradeable will make them more expensive, bigger, heavier and less reliable (due to extra internal connectors, access panels and who knows what); that in turn makes them less desirable. If it is a wo…

Rough as they inevitably are, I found these numbers useful. A cost saving will always be useful to Apple but there are signs, at least in the UK, that they are passing some of it on to the end user. For example, Mac mini with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD:…

Beats said: Apple didn't add any new features which is a shame. Was hoping to see new designs, new App Store, cellular chips, FaceID etc. Neural engine?

The moves Apple is making are only necessary because FB and others cannot be trusted. If they had made what most people would consider as "reasonable" use of privacy-related data, none of this would likely have happened. By taking such data, along w…

Tri-Band Velops work fine here. Solved the not-spots from when I was using AirPort Extreme (now honourably retired). You do need to think about placement so that there is a decent WiFi propagation path between the units, then they each offer a whole…

I must be missing something: One is an apple, one is a pear One has a stalk, one doesn't, One has a bite out of it, the other doesn't One has a leaf above it, the other has a leaf beside it We have a saying in the UK that you can't compare apples a…

Since no-one has seriously suggested that we should sweep away bricks and mortar shops, levelling the tax burden with online is essential. As physical retail has shrunk and online grown, this points to raising tax on online business (the alternative…

Call me old fashioned but this just seems unacceptably rude to me. It's a bit like you invite someone into your house to do a particular job and then, when you can't see, they rummage through your private documents that have nothing to do with the r…

In terms of Thunderbolt, I think it's integrated into the Intel processor that they've removed and not in the iPad processor that they've added. I think I've got that right. The 'real' Apple Silicon Macs are set to have dedicated Apple processors r…

Assuming that this is correct for iOS 14, well done Apple. That's a lot of ageing but still serviceable devices that they're supporting. This is one of the benefits of going with Apple's devices.

If you wanted to produce a foldable phone then two flat edge-to-edge displays that lie next to each other sounds a lot more credible than one flexible, folded display - any unsupported part of a folding display will be delicate and literally folding…
