  • Discord spokesperson blames Apple for NSFW content removal

    Ofer said:
    First off, I love Apple as a company overall and am fully invested in their ecosystem. I really appreciate their dedication to privacy, the environment, and marginalized folx.

    All that being said, their ridiculously outdated and puritanical views on human sexuality are terrible.
    I'm sure that Apple would get sued (along with Discord) if NSFW content was freely available to minors especially if the devices had parental controls enabled.
    I guess it is a good day when Apple isn't sued at least 10 times.

    The fact that Harley Davidson is in the top five has me dismissing this "rating".  It immediately puts to question exactly how this rating was compiled.
    Why?  Harley-Davidson is a very well known and respected brand that has been in business way longer than Apple.  Their motorcycles are owned by people who are passionate about the brand.  I myself would have them on the wish list if I were to buy a motorcycle.
    Around here, Harley's mostly appeal to men over 50 who want to live out their youthful fantasies. Any HOG meeting is dominated by people like me, in their 60's with grey hair. I've been riding bikes since I was 10 and bought my first one in 1969 and still ride today but I would not be seen dead on a Harley unless it was electric.  Harley has tried to make their bikes appeal to youngsters in recent years with smaller engine sizes but from the reports in the motorcycle press, this has failed.
    The pair of Electric Bikes that they used on 'Long Way Up' was a good move but the livewire is just stupidly expensive. I can buy a fully electric car for less than the Electric Harley.

  • LG & Magna partnership 'very near' to winning 2024 'Apple Car' contract

    Magna builds a number of mid to high-end vehicles for other makes (BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar)
    If the build quality of my I-Pace is anything to go by, Apple won't have panel gaps and rattles to worry about.

    Didn't MS just retire Cortana?

  • Samsung's 'iTest' website lets iPhone users test out Android

    Does it include all the Slurping of your data like an unprotected Android phone? We should know that right from the start... shouldn't we? Sounds like someone is getting a tad desperate?
