    They are just pausing to redesign their Department of half assed ideas….. They are going to place it next to the Department of Buy Random Companies and run them into the ground then sell them for scrap. Oh! It’s going to be majestic!🐒

  • Gatorade Smart Gx Bottle review: Better hydration with a squeeze and an iPhone

    Where did this absurd obsession with "staying hydrated" come from? All expert medical advice says simply "drink when you are thirsty" unless you are , for example, running a marathon. Think about it - thousands of years of evolution would not result in us "forgetting to drink"? Feel thirsty, drink. Simple as that.
    If you haven’t watched the movie Idiocracy it will explain it. Mike Judge is a genius!🙊 “Plants need electrolytes, plants crave electrolytes”. In all seriousness, you are correct. I need to drink electrolytes for my job (remote mine site in the Western Australian desert), 12.5hr shifts. Temperatures up to 46deg C 115deg F. Drinking 7L 240foz I still don’t need huge amounts of electrolytes. Sugary shit like Gatorade and the like would be my last choice though🤦‍♂️

  • Apple allegedly working on cheaper 'AirPods Lite'

    kitatitkitatit
    I prefer the gen 2 over gen 3 AirPods. So does my wife. The gen 3 are too big for our ears and fall out pretty easily. I’ve got my gen 3 sitting in the draw and gone back to gen two. I find them a bit fiddly and easy to drop as well. A shame, as they do perform better but ergonomically aren’t great for us.

  • Apple chose a bad year to launch expensive iPads that aren't compelling

    Totally disagree with the takes in this article.

    I hear people saying the lack of Ethernet is bad on the $130 Apple TV. When I hear that, I immediately think those people are crazy. Crazy for not understanding what the mass market is, crazy for not being introspective of their desires versus the mass market. The mass market does not have Ethernet. They aren't going to wire their house with it. If their house or home has it, they won't use it. It's WiFi all the time. This Apple TV is a Christmas gift fare for the mass market. Perhaps Apple needs to cut it to $100, but at $130, it's a great price for what you get relative to other TV dongles.

    If you are buyer that wants Ethernet, you can get an Apple TV with it for $150. This used to be the price of the lower end Apple TV 4K. The new one is basically 50% to 100% more in everything: CPU, GPU, RAM and storage. And it is fanless to boot. That's a pretty good deal.

    I would recommend the $450 iPad 10th gen over the $330 iPad 9th gen. There is 1 GB more RAM, a 10% larger display, faster CPU, GPU, and RAM. It's simply a better machine, and it's worth $120 more. There is perhaps 2 reasons for getting the 9th gen model: a buyer doesn't want to spend $450 and buyer wants the home button. The former will be solved with time, the latter is one of those things that can't be solved and people will have to live with it.

    If people want better iPads, they spend more. Same as it always is. That ~11" iPad form factor now scales from $450 to $2100. The more the buyer is willing to pay, the more and better they get. From 10th gen to Air to Pro, the quality improves. The case gets thinner. The displays get better, the performance gets better, the stylus performance gets better. If you are just a news browser, iPad 10th gen is the way to go. You like to play games, step up to the Air. If the iPad is the primary computing device you plan on using for years, get the Pro or perhaps the 12.9".
    Yes, agreed. Replacing a 6yo iPad with only 16g storage. After seeing how good the Magic Keyboard is, I can’t wait to pair it with a new 12.9” iPad Pro. Here is Australia, this combination is quite the eye watering price but iPad OS and a Magic Keyboard makes this an outstanding piece of leisure and productivity kit. Considering we are only replacing the old iPad due to tiny storage, there is no reason not to expect 8-10yrs of usefulness out of a new iPad Pro.
