  • Siri shortcuts in iOS 12 deliver a macro system to help automate your tasks

    Giving us more prescribed hot phrases as opposed to actual natural voice recognition is a terrible workaround. I don’t want to remember their canned trigger I want to pick my own.
    Uh, that’s exactly what this does, but I’m sure that won’t stop you from continuing this irrational meltdown.

  • Florida man's AirPods reportedly 'blow up' during gym workout

    Shocking an allegedly catastrophic story about Apple the same day a new product is launching, that’s definitely never happened every time Apple has launched a new product.

  • How to use the new Apple TV Amazon Prime Video app with Siri and the TV app

    I find it annoying that the tvOS app doesn't sync your view-history the with the iOS app. Ex: I'm mid-way on a season via the iPad app, but this new app doesn't seem aware of that and wants to begin w/ ep 1. I'll have to open the iPad version to see where I left off.

    Also, requiring remote-clicks to navigate the menu/screens is a bit at odds with how the other tvOS apps work, where you can simply swipe to the next menu header item and the screen switches instantly.

    They'll figure it out tho in time, I'm sure. They're just two years late to the party and behind where they would have been had they released much earlier and polished over time.
    Not sure what there is for them to figure out.  Their Apple TV app is just using the same garbage interface that Amazon uses on every device and platform.  There are so many idiotic things about Prime video on every platform.  They have completely separate listings for 4K content that aren't even linked, bonus features with movies are their own separate listings, and they treat different seasons of the same show as if they are completely different shows.

  • Text of FCC 'Proposal to Restore Internet Freedom' released, eradicates net neutrality rul...

    Well, here we go, just another move by the Trump administration to take more rights away from us. Now, removing these rules, which were hard fought for, will allow ISPs to decide which sites they will carry. One day, if someone at Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T, Verizon and others is a Windows person, we may not be able to get AppleInsider from them. Isn’t that just great?
    What if, theoretically possible, maybe, could, might, possibility. Blathering nonsense. Net neutrality is an Obama era invention. How did we ever get along all these years without it? Before net neutrality was AI ever blocked by some Windows person at a carrier? It didn’t happen before the government’s power grab and it won’t happen after either even though it is ‘theoretically’ possible. Labeling Internet service as a utility no different than natural gas or electricity so the government could control it was a mistake and I’m happy it’s going away.

    The only restrictions I remember from the days before net neutrality was that websites told me to go away because I was a Mac user and wasn’t running IE as by browser. The government didn’t fix that, competition and innovation did.
    If the companies aren’t interested in throttling and paid access, they why do they even care that it’s banned?  If no ISP is planning to introduce these practices, then the current regulations banning them are no burden and revoking would have no effect, so theoretically the ISPs are just flushing their money down the toilet lobbing for their repeal.  Meanwhile, back in the real world, anyone cable of critical thought can easily recognize the nonsense of your arguement.

  • Robbers smash into Apple's flagship UK store in lightning raid

    Too bad the UK can’t arm their security guards like the U.S.  The robbery would be over quickly if they would have pulled out a hammer against them.
    The only things more guns would bring is more gun violence.
