  • Rudy Giuliani says warrant illegal since agents already had data 'from the iCloud'

    There is literally no reason for this to be an article on AI.  Because he used the term “iCloud” in his argument?   And the last three paragraphs of the article - general commentary on Apple’s work with government requests - have been covered, ad nauseam, in other pieces.  

    Stay out of politics, please.
    Politics is imbued everywhere.

    When someone says stay out of politics it means they don't like your political choice. 
    I was thinking the very same thing. Had he never been DJT’s attorney would this article be considered political ?  I strongly doubt it.

    It would have been a major technical coup and piece of showmanship had Apple been able to activate the tags prior to shipping so customers could track their tags in transit. 
    Activate & pair them to what?  They don't know what device you have or want to use them with.  What if they are a gift?  

    Think it through...
    Have you been in the apple store app lately? It lists every device this is registered to your Apple ID.

    Go to the shop tab at the bottom of the app then hit the icon at the top right of the shop page. You will see your name and apple Id. You will see tabs for reservations, Orders and devices. Tap devices and you will see the full list of devices that are connected to your Apple Id. B)

  • Apple cuts AirPods production by over a quarter

    jcs2305jcs2305
    AirPods Pro messed up my ears. Serious reaction every time I wear them. Staff at the Apple Store said you’re not supposed to wash the tips. It’s the new “you’re holding it wrong” but worse.

    I ended up buying memory foam tips which I hate — and by then it was too late, my ears have now become too sensitive to wear them at all.
    What was your expectation when taking them to the Apple store exactly? You obviously have an allergy to the material they use? Did you tell the person at the store that you washed them with something besides just plain water? It clearly states to not uses anything but a water dampened cloth to wipe them clean.


    There is no alternative material that the Apple store could have offered you, so at that point you needed to decide if you wanted to return them or continue on. This is not like your holding it wrong at all actually because there is nothing that you can do to change your reaction to the material, unlike the attenuation caused by holding the iPhone 4 a certain way? I thought the your holding it wrong comment was ridiculous and not ok when it happened just making a comparison.

    I also have sensitive ears and my Pro's cause my ears to itch after using them for a while. For the record this is an issue I have with every canal style headphone I have used. It seems like my ears get warm and then after a while i need to itch and readjust them. I am thinking I may have a silicone allergy or my ears are just react that way from a combination of outside contaminants and silicone. I am not really sure honestly.

    I have found that if I run the tips under water every few days and dry them completely the itching is not as bad or happens as fast. Although it never truly stops happening.

    Ha! Why am I not surprised? LOL. 
    Sure you need to buy other accessories for their air tags. They couldn’t be arsed putting a hole in the tag so you could attach to a key ring. A mixture of greed and over aesthetics. 
    Half my keys don’t fit on a key ring because the hole is too narrow. So I need a bunch of small rings to attach to larger rings.

    Then of course, keys don’t have much of a problem with water, battery replacement, antenna, stray voltage, or electrical induction, all of which needs to be considered when designing an electronic device. 
    I think this is what the OP meant by...

    "They couldn’t be arsed putting a hole in the tag so you could attach to a key ring".

  • Apple to use 85 Tesla 'Megapack' batteries in California energy project

    Disgusting greenwashing effort! Environmentally sound and sustainable energy production is more than just measuring CO2 output.

    These batteries are responsible for the destruction of a unique and sensitive ecosystem, destroying the livelihoods of indigenous people, and are hugely resource intensive for the energy they provide.

    Solar panels by themselves have a single digit EROI, by the time batteries and charging/discharging losses are factored in, it looks even worse.

    If Apple weren’t concerned with catering to the brainwashed “woke”, but would run the actual numbers, they would pursue nuclear power like Gates, and listen to people like Shellenberger…

    I am not sure you know what "woke" means. In this case you would be the 'woke" person calling out manufacturers that are destroying the livelihoods of indigenous people through battery production and mining. Being aware of the environment and wanting to lessen your impact on it isn't being "woke". B)


    So trade one bad for another ? The science of Nuclear power is amazing but human mistakes with design and operation make it too dangerous as someone else stated earlier in the comments. Accidents like this are an ok trade off for the ecosystem damage that you mention? Which I assume is from the NIckel and Cobalt mining needed to make Lithium Ion batteries?
