  • The best Thunderbolt 3 docks for Apple's 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro

    AppleInsider said:
    ...owners of the 15-inch MacBook Pro will want to look at docks with at least 87 Watts of power delivery through a single connection in order to properly charge their Mac. 

    This is not strictly true. The MBP 15 charges just fine with only 60 watts available.  It takes a bit longer than 87 watts, but surprisingly, not a huge amount.  If you need 30 minutes of charge, it might take 45 @60w

    What the heck does "Google Home Mini hardware... had a serious flaw that caused the device to listen in on every noise generated in a house" have to do with poor quality displays?

    I wish Apple would just add a "guest mode" to the phone, and you can select which apps are accessible in this mode. So if someone needs to check your phone to look something up, or look at recent photos etc, you can offer it with peace of mind. I often have friends/family that ask to look something up with my phone - I don't refuse cause then I seem like an asshole, but I'm on edge as I can't see what the hell they're going on it. 

    My wife is the only person I allow access without question.  Otherwise...  "May I borrow your phone?"  "Uhhh, no, sorry,  do you want to make a call?  what is the number?" then I dial the number, and hand them the phone, after locking it.   I am more likely to surrender a credit card or ID, than my phone.

    Too bad. Wonder why they did this - was it a technical limitation of the hardware or simply a design decision. It's very convenient for my wife and I to have our fingerprints on each others' phones.


     The use case is just different:   "Honey, can I borrow your phone?  "Sure."  "Thanks, look over here."   Now it supports remote handsfree (no touching required) authentication, within a foot or few anyway.  I can see this being fairly useful in various circumstances.
