  • macOS Sequoia causing issues with third-party security tools and web browsers

    I’m thinking that any. Crowdstrike product on any OS is a pretty tough sell nowadays. Could take them some time to restore trust.

  • Crime blotter: Two arrested after iPhone theft, tracked across New England

    "However, bizarrely, both of them managed to leave their own iPhones in the snow outside of a broken window. 

    "One of these iPhones had a lock screen photo of two people, and the US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) was able to use software to identify one of them. They did not specify what software they used, or whether the photo featured both suspects."

    ----

    The late Elmore Leonard once noted that most criminals were dumb, really dumb.

  • Steve Jobs' mega yacht bashed a billionaire's boat in Italy

    "I would like to know what the captain and crew were doing that they didn't see a yacht the size of mine," Salinas commented with the video. "You see that there are no shortage of idiots in the world."

         Just possible they were all looking down at the screens of their devices?

        Oops.

         0.001% problems. I'm having a hard time trying to feel some sympathy when all I want to do is chuckle.

  • New Macs in 2025 rumored to get at least one major design refresh

    Please Apple, please, while you’re at it, redesign the god-awful Magic Mouse so that most of the users don’t have to throw it in the drawer at the day of purchase, replacing it with an actual usable mouse.
    ——

    To each their own. I find the cordless Magic Mouse to be an outstanding design…. outside the nitwittery of not being able to use it while it’s charging.

  • Drivers love CarPlay as car infotainment systems get worse overall

    If I was a car maker, I would jump to new CarPlay as fast as I could.

    I just don't understand why the resistance.

    ——

    Car manufacturers view the infotainment systems as profit centers designed to generate revenue by sucking up driver data not only to amass statistically useful data on vehicle performance, but also to sell on to data aggregators. CarPlay, I believe, requires a licensing fee and sends no data to the manufacturer.

    Looking for a business card printer that can produce colorful cards that read, “No CarPlay, no sale.”
