  • Apple won't license Masimo's patents despite Apple Watch import ban

    22july201322july2013
    I bought an external Blood-Oxygen reader that fits on your finger (back when COVID hit, as it was believed to be a leading indicator) prior to Apple having any such sensor on a Watch, and I manually enter the reading into the Apple Health App. Good enough.

  • 'Death Stranding: Director's Cut' hits iPhone, iPad, and Mac

    22july201322july2013
    On my new 8Gb/sec connection, a 77 GB file should take a little over a minute, but at the rate it's going, it looks like it will take 15 minutes. I infer that Apple's servers are busy or are limited to about 1Gb/sec.

    By the way, I wouldn't have bought this app if it had shown a lot of personal data being downloaded in the "App Privacy" section of the Apple App store. This means that the sale was made because the app respected my privacy. Developers take note: some of us don't buy apps that violate our privacy. You want my money? Then respect my privacy.

    Hmm, the game refused to launch/open until I rebooted my M3 Mac.

    EDIT: as soon as the program launched, I got this warning. I was quite surprised, as it "seems" (but I'm not sure) to conflict with the Apple App Store's App Privacy data for this program.

  • Browsers like Chrome and Firefox can abandon WebKit in EU with iOS 17.4

    The EU has now learned that when it makes any demands, of any type, hardware or software, even against user privacy and security, Apple will capitulate.

  • Wireless CarPlay upgrade coming to select Honda Accords later in 2024

    22july201322july2013
    slow n easy said:
    I would feel very frustrated with wired CarPlay only.
    Even worse, in a Honda CR-V, you have to plug one end of the USB cable in a very hard to see & hard to reach spot. First, I have to strain to look for the location of the cable, then I put the cable in my hand and reach into the compartment, completely unable to see if my hand is close to the USB port. My compartment is loaded with junk, so I feel like Willie in the Temple of Doom movie reaching into the unknown, worried about bugs attaching to my hand.

  • Apple execs praise 'unbelievable' 40 years of Macs

    22july201322july2013
    During the introduction of the iPhone, I recall Steve Jobs saying something like, "If we can grab just 10% of the smartphone business, it will be successful." Ironically, it's the Mac that's grabbing only 10% of the personal computer business, and it's still successful.
