  • Apple's features graveyard: Once heavily marketed, now gone

    Not having force touch completely ruined the Lock Screen, with the mandatory and redundant camera and flashlight buttons constantly unintentionally activating from touching the phone for too long.

    Hope those Apple employees are ready to start paying union dues.
    I was thinking the same thing. I hope their collective bargaining gets them enough of an increase to cover their union dues. The other thing to think about is if you poke the bear (Apple) enough they’ll seriously reconsider their retail strategy and maybe even shutter their physical stores altogether. That’s if they’re not already thinking about it. Take all that retail overhead and pour it into a more Amazon-like e-commerce experience with fast and free returns, try-out periods, etc. These one-track socialist types, rarely think ahead more than their next immediate move. Strategy is not their forté.
    I wasn’t aware they were seizing the means of production. Thanks. I guess only corporations are allowed to have collective bargaining, or is OPEC socialist?  Are PACs socialist?  Are trade organizations socialist?  Is the US Chamber of Commerce socialist?

  • Satechi X3 Slim Keyboard review: A fantastic alternative to Apple's Magic Keyboard

    larryalarrya
    I have the Apple wired keyboard with numeric keypad, and the one thing I love most is that it provides USB ports (1 on each side), which were a surprise, but have become critically important for my M1 Mac mini. I assume it has been discontinued so I’ll be very sad when it dies, but this, with a separate hub, looks like a good option (wired) because I’m done with batteries and recharging.

  • Peloton could be bought by Apple to boost healthcare initiatives

    Peloton - where the puck was, not where it’s going. With Covid restrictions dying off this seems like a shrinking market for a while.

  • Peloton latest to blame Apple for financial woes

    larryalarrya
    I didn't hear the call, but I doubt there's anyone left on Earth who doesn't already know what a Peloton bike is.  Seems unlikely someone was left out because they couldn't track that person from a gym equipment site.
