  • Facebook rolls out podcasts and Live Audio Rooms to iOS app

    When will people learn/accept what happens when you use FB or their products?

    Anything Facebook is to be avoided like the plague. If you lie down with dogs you will get up with fleas.

  • Nearly 75% of Apple users don't want an 'iPhone 13,' more than half not excited about iOS ...

    Who cares what they call them, really, enough with the media and fanboys making something out of nothing.

    After iPhone 12 models basically sparked a super cycle and clear establishment that the two-year replacement cycle is long ago history, how can anyone express surprise at the indications about how many will rush to get "13" or whatever it is called. Besides, I do not believe the 75% number regarding "don't want." They want and so do I, but who besides very, very well off people into tech are going to get a new phone every year at a $1000+ ( and rising) a pop? I would love to always have the latest and greatest. I would get a new phone, new iPad, MacBook and Apple Watch every year if wanting one was all that mattered.

    SellCell? Who are they? What credibility do they have? Based on what they revealed I don't think the "survey" is worth anything. Beside their statement they surveyed 3000 users over 18 there is nothing about how the survey was constructed. If only over 18 was the section criteria, it is definitely worthless.

    Added 45 minutes later: The irony ... I just noticed an earlier AI story from today covering a planned year over year 12% increase in iPhone production. That seems pretty inconsistent with this article's thrust.

  • Texas homes heat up as power companies alter smart thermostats

    78 is "unbearably hot?" and places his bay at risk of dehydration? Maybe he should not pile blankets and comforters on top if it so incredibly hot.

    This guy is a drama king and a waster of energy.

    Read the fine print next time you join a thermostat program run by the power company in a state well know for screwing its power grid and being unable to meet demand even during normal times.

  • Some iPhone users report high battery drain following iOS 14.6 update

    It's like reading about some disease and then deciding you have it. Happens every time.

    I wonder how many people who had no such thought will read these articles and then insist their battery life was impacted and jump on the bandwagon. Quite a few I would guess.

  • Facebook considers telling users enabling tracking keeps app 'free of charge'

    Who would pay for that crap?

    Call their bluff and watch the stock price crash.
