    Apple is doing what it needs to to be a player China’s market. 

    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?

  • Trump is too busy for his own tariff negotiations, so will dictate terms instead

  • Inside Apple TV 4K -- the best addition to your TV set

    lotoneslotones
     Yep, Apple TV 4K is one of Apple's best products, and it's still very underrated, even by the author of the article above. Apple TV 4K really shouldn't even be compared to other streamers, because it does so much more.

    I have two, one dedicated to my home audio system to stream lossless Apple Music, and even more importantly, stream music directly from my iTunes library on my Mac. It automatically upsamples my iTunes library to 48kHz (unfortunately it caps higher resolutions there too, but hey...). But the killer feature is being able to preview mixes conjured in GarageBand or Logic immediately on my large sound system! No other "streamer" does that.

    The Apple TV 4K dedicated to my TV stand is where I watch shows and movies, but also I can stream my Photo library directly from my Mac. I can also stream movies and concerts directly from my Mac (using VLC or 8Player).

    And as for streaming, me and a friend have been SharePlaying shows on Apple TV 4K for a couple years now. This is a fantastic feature, that works incredibly well. It came in incredibly handy while my friend was dealing with serious health issues. SharePlaying shows with her was how I "visited" her while she was in the hospital.

    There's a lot going on with Apple TV 4K that people take for granted when comparing to other "streamers".

  • Trump gives Apple a giant break with wide-ranging tariff exemptions

    This reversal is also a symptom of how many Republican congress members own Apple stock.

  • 'Severance,' the biggest success on Apple TV+, will be back for a third season

    lotoneslotones
    I watched the second season finale last night, and while I've called it, "the corporate Twin Peaks", last night I was getting strong "peak X-files" vibes (guy in a suit and a redhead fighting the future? C'mon...), and I mean both references as the highest of compliments. Really excellent television.

    But season 2, ep 7 "Chikhai Bardo" is one of the most unique, creative, innovative, incredibly shot, edited, directed, and acted 50 minutes of television ever made, imho. Hopefully it will get the recognition it deserves.
