  • Apple increases R&D in China with two lab expansions

    beowulfschmidtbeowulfschmidt
    I can't help but wonder why Apple would locate research facilities in a country that has a such lackluster record of protecting IP.  Is the cost of doing it there that much less expensive as to make it worth it?

    Now if they'd just implement a stay-my-ears-aid mode, I'd be ecstatic.

  • Third-party App Stores will only work for 30 days if you leave the EU

    Thank you so much Apple! You blocking me from re-downloading an app I paid for or even updating it when I move out of EU-land es CLEARLY you looking out for me, not you showing your ugly control-freak face. After 25 years of almost 'Apple only' lifestyle, I'm quickly reaching a point where I had enough… 

    Why on earth would you want to move out of "EU-land"?

    Why does Apple assume they have monopoly on security? It is a rather faulty assumption that none else can make a secure or even more secure App Store. 

    DMA will overrule this and allow fair competition on the platform. 
    LOL. 

    Look around. There is literally no one that does what apple does and keeps a commitment to security and privacy. No one. It’s a rather massive deal. 

    There never was unfairness in the platform. All the eu is doing is trying to force socialism in a capitalistic company. Recipe for disaster. Robbing the platform provider to pay openly hostil developers is not a viable solution to a problem that never existed. 
    More fascist than socialist.  Socialist would be if the EU nationalized Apple and took the company away from the shareholders, making EU the owner.

    Requiring a company not owned by the government to do business as the government demands is a hallmark of fascism.  Benito would be proud.

  • Apple Card, Savings data now available in more third-party budget apps

    What about desktop Quicken?
    Yes - or do we just forget about the largest app in the category that has more market share than all others combined?

    You can import your Apple Card transactions into Quicken.  It's more than a bit of a PITA, but it's possible.

    Open up your Apple Card, and select the "Card Balance" box.
    Below the card details you'll see the statements.
    For each statement you want to import to Quicken, do the following
    - Tap the statement
    - At the bottom, select Export Transactions
    - Choose the QFX option
    - Where to save it depends on your setup.  I choose "Save to Files" because I keep them on my NAS.

    Then go to Quicken and import each of them.  I do it from earliest to latest, but I don't know that it matters.
    Do NOT reconcile until after the last file is imported.

    I sometimes get "adjustments" anyway because Quicken sucks sometimes; I usually just delete them after Quicken makes them.
