  • Facebook, Luxottica will team up on AR glasses slated for 2021


    Hahah gross. 

    When is Mark going to make an announcement about how Luxottica is so big it has unfair market advantages and should be looked into?

    1000 🤍 for you!

  • Apple releases iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 updates

    Just checked with my daughter in South Africa, not released there either. Perhaps the poster of this article can state where exactly it is available?
    At present, Virginia, US; Quebec, Canada, and London, UK.
    Out of interest, and I genuinely am interested here, why would it be available in London, UK, but not, say, Cardiff, UK.

    What magic let's the update mechanism know or care where in the UK a person is from?
    This is profoundly complicated, and way outside the scope of this conversation. In short, it is dependent on Internet peering arrangements between Apple's data providers, and ISPs.

    And we all thank you from the bottom of our collective emoji hearts for graciously bestowing upon us such an erudite, yet concisely understandable answer, even while the question was woefully off topic.

  • Power button Touch ID on more iPads in 2021, smaller notch on 5.4-inch 'iPhone 12' [u]


    I've read that banks give wealthy customers a secondary PIN that works perfectly, but also acts as a silent alarm that you are withdrawing the money under duress.
    Oh. now that’s cool af! 

    Anyway, can’t wait for this new phone I can’t afford 🤩🤓😖😂😭

  • 'AirTags' leak reveals circular button design of tracking accessory

    AF_Hitt said:
    Without the size, this leak is worthless.  Did anyone think it was going to be a triangle or square?  My expectation and hope is that it will be surprisingly small--think fingernail size rather than half-dollar size.
    The article itself, that you just commented on, clearly states it will be about the size of a bottle cap in diameter.
    And I just re-read the article which states that these are quick, third party Renders based on video which is why they appear to be somewhat unrealistic looking.

    apologies from myself for skimming & posting.

    That would be sweet, but my bet is that it will take a CR-2016 like Tile. 

    But perhaps not. Either way those are clearly not renderings based on any kind of finalized engineering. The metal plate isn’t even attached to the main hardware. Unless it’s some kind of magnetic mounting piece? Guess we’ll find out tomorrow!
