  • Sorry, Netflix support isn't coming to the Apple TV app

    It's just like the government ahahahhahhha Google needs a DOGE department ASAP. 
    Department of Google Efficiency.

    I'm 80% sure I would have subscribed to Netflix for the first time ever, if they had introduced their products through the Apple TV+ app.

  • Apple Vision Pro's new NBA 3D games are just the start of something greater

    Soccer (i.e., football)? F1 racing? Cricket? Tennis? Golf?

    (I won't add "boxing" because I think that sport should be made illegal. Between 15% and 40% of retired boxers develop cognitive development problems.)

  • Indonesia wins as Apple considers manufacturing iPhones there

    jas99 said:
    Diversification of the manufacturing base away from China is a good thing. I suspect that that was one of the deciding factors for Apple.
    I agree, although I would prefer choosing countries that are higher on the human freedom index than China. Only about 10 countries are below China (e.g., Egypt, Syria, Venezuela), so this isn't a difficult choice. Indonesia is a little below the median value, so it's not too bad. But I would prefer a first world industrialized country like Japan or Germany, which have high enough populations for Apple's needs along with high human freedom and democracy status.

  • Apple Maps renames Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America after official database update

    From what I understand, it's only for American devices the rest of the world will still see the Gulf of Mexico.

    As this is an executive action it will disappear with the next president. 

    Are we great yet because I'm just embarrassed
    Still showing as Gulf of Mexico here in Canada. I actually appreciate Google's approach of using both names. Embarrassed you should be, as should everyone with a conscience. We are witnessing a world-changing/destroying leadership in action.
    I'm in Canada and I'm seeing "Gulf of America" in Apple Maps.

    "World destroying leadership"??? For changing a name? You must really hate Biden then, since he probably set the record for changing 650 geographical body names in 2022 alone. But Trump changes one name, and you call him a destroyer of civilization. That's called TDS. Look it up.

    And you probably don't know this, but each language and country has its own right to name any feature by any term it wants, for use within its own country. For example, "Mount Everest" is known by many different terms in many different countries. Map makers refer to each country's database of geographical terms to provide individual names for each country. Some languages refer to the "Andromeda Galaxy" as "Fairy Maiden Galaxy." If Trump tried to rename the Andromeda Galaxy to "American Eagle Galaxy" you would probably call him a "civilization destroyer" for that too, right?

  • How to use Siri to get answers from ChatGPT

    On my Mac, since Apple Intelligence was installed a couple of months ago, all I ever get in response when I ask it a question is, "I'm having some trouble with the connection. Please try again in a moment." So I used Google's AI to try to debug this, and it suggested a dozen useless things like reboot, try a different wifi, make sure your OS is up to date, check if Apple Intelligence works in your country, server overload, network issues, etc." The Apple "Discussions forums" have similar useless ideas. Yes, Apple Intelligence is turned on in my System Settings and so is Siri. I was hoping it would fix itself over time, but no.
