  • EU lawmakers unfazed by Meta's threat that it would pull out of Europe

    roundaboutnowroundaboutnow
    I was thinking Meta could just create a European entity that keeps its data in the EU. Don't know how they would sort out how interactions to/from accounts outside EU get handled, but I imagine they could figure it out.

    A glowing omission is the lack of a microphone. You are forced to use an external microphone. Strange when Siri is supposed to be useful or having a video call. In fact, absolutely frustrating omission, quire frankly.
    I'm not aware of any desktop computer that has a mic built-in. You do realize we're talking about a Mac mini, right?
    iMac
    Of course, I meant stand alone CPU, not including AIO types. I should have been more clear.

    I have a maxed-out 2018 Mac Mini and love the compact design.  I'm not in the market for one yet, for a while but I really hope Apple goes all-out on providing an updated Mini at a price point that makes it competitive, along with making it affordable for users that do not want an iMac or MacBook.  

    I can see server farms buying palette-loads of these for cloud services.  
    What if...

    The Mac mini could be powered via PoE. That sure would simplify a lot of rack wiring!

  • Apple execs explain why you should use Apple Maps over competitors

    roundaboutnowroundaboutnow
    Apple Maps is definitely improved, and I use it almost exclusively. But the other day, I was downtown and Apple Maps got real confused when I was leaving to go home. I realize tall building can get in the way of signal, but it wasn't until I was well out of the downtown area before it got its bearing back. I never had that happen before.

    I sometimes fire up Google Maps or Waze just to check in on them. One thing I was hoping for in Apple Maps was the suggestions for parking in downtown areas like Google Maps made for me a while back.
