  • Trump claims Tim Cook has committed Apple to massive US investment

    GOP needs some cover for the renewal and/or expansion of the $2 trillion tax cut from 2017. Business leaders claimed they would use the cuts for investments in infrastructure and employees but it mostly just went into the profit column or towards stock buybacks.

  • TikTok service restored in the US after promises that ban won't be enforced

    chasm said: But until the US government can prove in a court of law that its evidence of spying or privacy invasion or whatever else TikTok is accused of is real beyond a shadow of a doubt, the law Congress passed should be nullifed by the (equally corrupt) Supreme Court as blatantly unconstitutional.
    The Supreme Court already unanimously upheld the legality of the ban.

  • Apple's Mac Pro 'cheese grater' is 19 years old, and is the best Mac ever made

    The difference between the cheese grater Mac Pro and the contemporary iMac is mainly internal vs. external expansion, not general expansion. I owned a 2009 Mac Pro and updated the RAM, drive space, boot drive, GPU, and added USB 3.0 support via a 3rd party card. However, I eventually had to move on from the Mac Pro because the old motherboard bottlenecked the GPU, and the WiFi and bluetooth standards were too old and also too problematic to try and update relative to the OS. Bottom line: the 2017 5K iMac that I bought as a replacement can expand in all the same areas as the Mac Pro, with the exception of adding a card internally for USB upgrades. Again, the main difference is whether or not the expansion is handled internally or externally, not whether it's supported at all.
