Use your Lightning headphones on your Mac or iPad Pro with Anker's new USB-C adapter
I remember this differently. I paid about $1500 for the 3.5mm jack that came with my free MacBook Pro.MplsP said:
The Anker dongle costs $30 - so that's an extra $30 to get the same functionality we used to have for free with the 3.5mm jack.mac_128 said:Finally! This should have been available when Apple first removed the headphone jack. How many years has it been that Apple customers couldn’t use the same pair of Lightning headphones on their iPhone, iPad and MacBook? Even though Apple removed the headphone jack, calling it old technology, and touting the superiority of Lightning, most customers had to resort to using the Lightning to 3.5mm dongle and an old pair of 3.5mm headphones, if they wanted to carry only one set of headphones and be able to connect to both their iPhone and MacBook, let alone any other common audio device.
Now if someone would come up with a Lightning headphones to 3.5mm dongle, the transition to Lightning connectors as a replacement for the old headphone jack would be complete.

Adobe warning of legal problems if subscribers keep using old versions of Creative Cloud a...
Let me get this straight: I purchase/subscribe to Adobe software and a company that has a tiff with Adobe might want to sue me? If they can indeed come after me then there is something seriously wrong with the legal system. The buck needs to stop with Adobe.

Massachusetts judge granted warrant to unlock suspects iPhone with Touch ID
That should be true, but some instances seem to have trampled on the 5th amendment lately. Recently it seems that upon entering the country at the border they can require it (this is different than being compelled in a criminal trial however). This case certainly appears to contradict the self-incrimination clause: https://www.bostoncriminallawyersblog.com/massachusetts-appeals-court-affirms-contempt-order-petitioner-unlock-iphone/designr said:As I understand it though, current legal doctrine and precedent in the US at least, is they cannot compel you to enter or otherwise give your passcode. Is that correct?
Edit: this one too: http://www.fox13news.com/news/local-news/judge-jails-man-for-failing-to-unlock-phones

Samsung Galaxy Fold teardown suggests poor design decisions with 'massive gaps' [u]
From what we can tell Samsung gave out a small number of these to reporters/reviewers and plenty of screen failures occurred after just 1 to 2 days. It's almost impossible to imagine that Samsung didn't experience that in their testing or they did zero end to end testing before letting these units out to non-Samsung testers.jcs2305 said:
From what I keep hearing they have been developing this thing for years.... Which I think makes the whole thing even worse? They didn't slap it together in a year.. they took years to develop and test and it still turned out like this?linkman said:This speaks volumes about how weak Samsung's testing is and their rush to market overwhelms engineering principles.
