  • How one hospital is reinventing care with Apple tech

    Another benefit might be fewer viruses and a better system of updates stay ahead of them.
    I was thinking the same thing. Had to take a housemate to the hospital back when Windows 7 or 8 was a thing, and the hospital ER monitors were still running XP. I can't imagine how many potential data leaks and viruses they were vulnerable to.

  • How to back up your Photos library in macOS Sequoia

    lotoneslotones
    Great article. I have a couple questions though - 

    1. Why wouldn't a Time Machine backup be enough?

    2. Why does the Photo library have to be on the internal drive? If you've moved your Photo library to an external drive, couldn't you just add that drive to the Time Machine backup list?

  • Adobe hikes Creative Cloud prices with a rebrand no one asked for

    I'm looking at this from the outside, since I deAdobe'd myself before the subscriptions started. But I don't understand how Adobe can justify charging such an extortionate cancellation fee, or why people put up with it. When a customer decides they don't want to use their service, they should be able to cancel the service and just walk away as long as their accounts paid up to date. Adobe can just disable the apps on their end if they must. But penalizing customers for deciding they don't want your service anymore just seems evil. 

    This appears to me to be a textbook abusive relationship. Price gouging people with subscriptions is bad enough, but when there are now so many viable alternatives, why are people still putting up with this cancellation fee noise?

    The US government should not take allies for granted and work with allies on AI. Part of China’s government’s AI success would be alienating America from its allies for AI research and development. 
    But should Apple be developing tools to help the Communist Party of China harm its own citizens? "Following Chinese law" is not good enough.
    Is it really that big a deal if Apple helps China sort its email, answer texts, and make a few Genmoji?
