  • What keeps the Mac relevant for Apple, despite iPhone dominance

    entropysentropys
    Good breakdown Marvin. I still think the Mac Pro sales are grossly too high though. Apple hadn’t upgraded it ee years last year. And I doubt the release of the AS Mac Pro would do anything to help.  I can only conclude it is a  stop gap, or by nefarious design.

  • Apple Vision Pro could help surgeons see vital data during operations

    entropysentropys
    I doubt it would be used for surgery just yet. I could see it used for remote community health services (eg community nurse on a home visit dons the vision pro and consults with speech pathologist back at the office, both watching the swallow reflex from the same perspective together).

    Royal Flying Doctor Service to do remote first aid and/or triage to decide What Needs To Be Done. 
    Need to pair with Starlink for that one.

  • EU law requiring easier iPhone battery replacement inches closer to enactment

    entropysentropys
    Q1: who gets to decide what is a sufficiently replaceable battery?
    Q2: is the manufacturer able to identify the proportion of the increased cost for the device as the EU cost?
    Q3: does this also apply to EVs? (exactly this scenario ktappe).

    Who still doesn’t thinks Europe is just as big of an enemy for USA as China is? Hell, unlike China,we basically support Europe with billions with welfare for these European maggots and they still do this to our companies 
    I am not even a yank and I know this is true. 

    I work in the climate field, and when I was first involved and very young, even I could see the Kyoto protocol and the reference date being set at 1990 (when all those heavy polluting factories in previously eastern bloc but now part of the EU shut down), and the EU being allowed to operate as an umbrella of countries and no one else was allowed to band together, it was a surprising amount (and I mean a lot) about economic advantage for struggling 1990s Europe trying to nobble rapidly growing USA. 

    You could see that in how eager the EU was to get other countries to sign up regardless of how pathetic (or even nonexistent) their emissions targets were. It was all about pressuring the yanks to raise their targets.

    This thing about Google, and eventually every other successful and dominant US company, is just more of the same.
