  • Dubious supply chain report claims 'Apple Car' will arrive in September 2021

    LoL apple is not going to become a parts supplier.

    IF they ever decide to get into the auto industry (any more than they already are with CarPlay), it will be with the real deal. An actual car. 

    I’d be shocked if it were in the next 18-24mo though. 

    If I were them I’d do a vertical assembly setup like Czinger is doing.

    This is going to be so great. Tencent has no clue what they’re getting themselves into. Bozos.

    Safari 14.0.2 provides 5 choices for search engines and I’ve tried all of them. None of them come close to Google’s algorithms. People here tout DuckDuckGo or the new Ecosia. They stink IMHO.
    Thanks for bringing that up because I meant to address this in my post and forgot.

    By and large I’m of the same opinion, but the other day I was searching for something that I didn’t know how to spell. All I really wanted was the Wikipedia page for it. Somehow I was accidentally using Google. At first I thought I was super high because I couldn’t understand why the Wikipedia page wasn’t popping right up (even though I was pretty sure I was misspelling the word (I was)). So I copy pasted my search into DDG (terrible name) and fourth hit, there it was. The Wikipedia page I wanted. I thought well maybe the results would be better if I were logged in to my Google account. Nope, same. 

    So I don’t know. Seems like at least some things DDG is better at. Not sure why or how that happened, but that’s the news I have to report.

    I’m no expert, but I feel like the real issue is, and maybe it was said in so many words above, that websites are incentivized to optimize for Google and no other search platform. Credit to G for developing all this technology; it’s very good. 

    However I feel like the real solution is not for the government to come in and make a bunch of lame rules but maybe everyone could just gang up on them Apple style, and come up with an internet search standards body that comes up with standards that web developers optimize for. Google can join if they want. Rather than Google being the sole gatekeeper of internet SEO. 

    Does that make any sense? Is it possible? Is it already being done and I have no clue what I’m blathering on about?

    Can you use Apple Pay with a 6S? 

    Yes, 6 was the first. As a matter of fact, you can use Apple Pay with a 5s +  Watch (I know because I did it for years). Has to do with Touch ID/Face ID  & Secure Enclave.
