This whole transition is totally unclear. I did not update to Mojave due to statements made by Apple saying older apps will no long work due to the migration to 64 bit only. I get the warning on some apps in High Sierra saying it was not longer supported and need to contact the developer to get a version that support Mojave. I also ran the utility that Apple has which tells you all the apps you have installed and indicated whether is support 64 bits and there are Apps that I know work but the utility says they should not work. I also check app compatibility websites and people there claim most of these apps work on Mojave. 


So does Mojave kill all apps which are not 64 bits or is there something else going on. I am just pissed I can no longer sync books between my computer and IOS device when I updated my IOS devices to iOS 12 which said you need Mojave on your computer to make it work. Apple had be kind stuck between a rock and a hard place at this point. Just unclear what will break with the next update. I have a number of older apps and utilities I use and do not wish to spend more money to get subscription based apps.

I think this is the dirty little secret Apple had with the developer world. They will eventually kill any old apps from work in OSX and if users want to keep up to date they will be force to go to a software subscription model. Quicken did it to me since they disable online access to any financial institutions for the standalone app. You had to go to a subscription base app to maintain online access. They also said the standalone app would no longer work in Mojave so they tied to the two things together.

Trying being a parent with kids who will use their iPads all day and night. Privacy is not the issue we have - it is managing their time that takes a ton of our time. Screen Time is a joke to control these scenarios - too complicated for parents to figure out and manage.

MDM works for IT departments to control their employees. As a parent, I'm the IT dept paying for these devices and I need similar ability to control the amount of time and what they can do.

Provide the warnings to the parent on privacy and let the markets decide - give us the choice to run apps like OurPact - it has been a lifesaver for our family. Apple would have done better buying OurPact instead of the complicated mess they attempted in iOS12. 

You already have the most powerful tool available to you, its called being a parent and exercise your responsibility over your kids. It is easy just tell your kids to turn it off if they do not listen you take it away. Do not abacate your responsibilities as adult and parent to some third party and hopes they have your best interest in mind and not their own. In my house I only had to ground the electronics once for the bad unrespectful behavior to end.


BTW, sometimes your kids will get mad and tell you they hate you because you did the right things. They will get over it.

This has Donald's cheese-burger-greasy finger all over it.

He kills any good will with China and Taiwan (where Foxconn is located) and deals are aborted.

I hope Trumpers take note. He is killing the Earth, and is a deal-breaker, not deal-maker.

China is out to destroy us, maybe not military (but may so) but for sure economically. China shows us no good will that doesn't benefit them 10x more. China is our enemy and they are truly the ones killing the earth. It amazes me when Americans put China above the US just to spite Trump.

I know this may not seem important to most people, you realize Taiwan is not really China, yes China makes claim to them, but Taiwan operated independent of China, As such Foxconn is a Taiwan company, and as many companies they set up operations in China. Foxconn setting up in the US most likely does not have Chinese puppet masters pulling strings. Foxconn was operating in Taiwan longer before they entered China and they been a contract manufacturer for US companies for almost as long.

This is going to be another hobby for awhile. I do not think anyone has quite figure out the killer app for TV. The more I talk to people who cut the cord their biggest complaint is the fact you can not easily switch between live content, (channel surfing). If you know exactly what you want to watch streaming is great, especially if you are into binge watching. But when you just want to mindlessly watch something it is not easy to just flip from channel to channel to find something new.

The lesson for everyone, even your lawyer (Attorney Client Privilege) is not beyond the reach of our government if they looking to make an example of you. 

Everyone should put their politics aside and decide if what you are seeing from our government is good. Remember what they use to say, first they came for people you did not know, and you did not say anything, then they came for your neighbors, and still did not say anything, then your family and finally you but no one say anything to help you either.

You should read this article. 

https://www.lawfareblog.com/michael-cohen-attorney-client-privilege-and-crime-fraud-exception

Pretty much covers how Michael Cohen didn't meet the exceptions, and more to the point, how Trump eliminated the privilege in the payment scheme.

My point was all the things Cohen was doing and plead gulity to he was doing for 20 yrs long before he met trump but they did not care. But they decided to go after him immediately after trump got elected. They went after him and hoped he would share what he learned from being trump lawyer to keep himself out of jail. We still do not know what he share with the government from what he learn being paid for be trumps lawyer. The government also took all his files even one which did not have anything to do with the crimes he committed. Do not think they did not look at them.
