  • How and where Trump's new tariffs affect Apple

    netroxnetrox
    Tariffs are taxes, plain and simple. We pay for them indirectly. When we buy a product at a store, the state tax is itemized on the receipt, so we know exactly how much we’re paying in taxes. That transparency doesn’t exist with tariffs.

    High tariffs don’t help us; they hurt us.

    Global trade is essential to the health of the world economy. When tariffs are imposed, the risk of geopolitical tension and even war increases significantly.

    We’re already seeing the consequences of policies like tariffs and the CHIPS Act, which appear to be driven by a poor understanding of economics and naivety. The reality is that the U.S. faces enormous challenges in producing silicon chips on time due to their complexity, limited skilled labor, and heavy regulations.

    In contrast, China has a population of over a billion people and a vast labor force, allowing them to manufacture at scale and speed. We cannot replicate that here. It’s basic economics.

    As a result, we are more likely to face economic slowdown.

  • Apple's folding iPad or MacBook: What to expect, and when it will ship

    netroxnetrox
    That is why we will expect to see a dramatic redesign of MacOS/iOS. An effective MacOS UI must be redesigned to take advantage of the folding device and touch gestures.

  • How to run Mac OS 9 on Apple Silicon using UTM

    netroxnetrox
    "Virtualization works by either translating CPU-specific instructions for other processor types to native ones, or by running those foreign instruction sets in software that emulates a foreign CPU. By doing this, virtualization apps let your computer run other operating systems and apps in a process without having to use the native hardware."

    I always understood that virtualization uses native CPU while emulation uses     translation between two different CPUs. Virtualization should not be emulating - it should use the same CPU instructions natively.

  • House Judiciary Committee subpoenas Apple over AI censorship

    netroxnetrox
    Is that a fact that the 1st Amendment clearly prohibits anyone from being censored or punished? And that the SCOTUS has determined that companies are "persons" therefore subject to same rights?

  • Apple will try to right the Apple Intelligence Siri ship, but don't expect firings

    netroxnetrox
    Apple Intelligence is just Siri Revisited. Siri was never good, even to this day. 

    The reason why Google is way ahead of their AI is that they're literally collecting personal user information in plaintext while Apple encrypts everything making user information inaccessible to Apple making it more challenging to analyze data.
