China’s continuing aggression and warnings of conflict if the U.S. doesn’t “change course”, along with the possibility of sending lethal arms aid to the Russians in Ukraine is spooking the world. It’s amazing that Xi is willing to risk China’s economic future. Europe played footsies with Russia for decades thinking being nice and playing ball would keep the Russian Bear satisfied. Then Putin showed up. Now Xi has designs on the East. You have two cultures that have never experienced democracy and have always been ruled by emperors or dictators. What did you expect?

After WWII the world had Pax Americana for close to eighty years. Is that gone today?

Every time the topic of price comes up the yapping starts. I spent $5K to replace my late 2013 27” iMac with a Mac Studio Max and Studio Monitor and I’m glad I did. This will be my primary machine for the foreseeable future.

Well, guess that means Apple doesn't have to build its own TV set. Other mfrs. are sure to follow, as they always do when features are added. I own a Samsung, and the Apple TV app does NOT work. I have and Apple TV 4K, so it's not a problem, but it makes me switch inputs and use a second remote when I want to see Apple content.

Yep, the Apple Discussion Forums are full of users trying to get the Apple TV app to work properly on their Android based TVs.

Yeah, uh huh, right. When ChatGPT actually makes sense, and pigs fly.
