  • AirTags used to uncover fraud in Turkey relief donations

    I hope they get to the core of who diverted the products, if they were indeed diverted.  (Meaning it is possible that it makes more sense to sell donated goods and use the money to buy homogenous lots of items prepackaged for shipment across the world — IDK, but unless they can show they were diverted and then sold with the “profit” being pocketed by someone, the mere fact of tracing it to a market may not mean anything.  More deep investigation is necessary.  )

  • Zuckerberg's Apple Vision Pro hot take just gave him a Ballmer iPhone moment

    Meta may have sold “millions” of a Quest headsets but they certainly aren’t mostly being used in the Metaverse (by Meta) as by all accounts that has very very low uptake and use.  And by many a counts Meta had
    moved on to AI and not really doing much with the Metaverse now as their main focus.  

    No one wants to interact with people through a headset.   I’m not sure what problem VP solves either (for the average guy — lots of vertical markets and nerd uses and entertainment sessions for the rich, currently) but the VP at least has a way forward for being useful.   

    I’d guess that most of those Quest are sitting there on peoples’ shelves or being used for gaming (I assume that is possible — that it is not only for the Metaverse — I’ve never been interested enough to look).

  • Apple Pay announces exclusive Father's Day promotions for users

    So why can’t they get special promotions at places dads actually want to get gifts from like sporting goods shops, gun stores, electronic stores, hobby shops, Home Depot,  other “dude” toy stores :)

  • What Intel Macs aren't getting in macOS Sonoma

    Is this the wrong place to call for the PPC code to be opened to the public? 
    The Darwin kernel is already and I assume the rest of it is still entangled with the current versions of macOS and contains Apple trade secrets etc.  so good luck with that request.

  • What Intel Macs aren't getting in macOS Sonoma

    Not to be that guy, but it’s “Which”, not “What”.
    No, it’s actually “what”.  The point of the article is to explain the features that Intel Macs (that support Sonoma) won’t be getting.

    The list of Macs at the end is a recycled list added at the end for some reason. Much like the ends of most articles today have random slightly relevant facts attached to them — a feature of writing that I missed learning about when I was in school, which is a pity, as it would have made it easier to hit word count or page count requirements.
