  • Justice Department unveils legislation to alter Section 230 protections

    Had big tech left Trump alone, none of this would have happened.  This is fact, not a defense of the President.  And it's very sad too because FREEDOM is preferred over draconian freedom-limiting changes proposed to limit 230 protections.  It's also interesting to consider that the President is against the US being policeman of the planet (as am I), and yet policing user content is what these 230 changes are all about.  Sometimes it's best not to rock the boat.
    This is like pudding left with no cover in the refrigerator for a week and the thick skin on top has a crevasse in the middle and is pulled away at the edges and the whole thing has a gross brown liquid sloshing around.

  • Apple handset sales are moderating in US ahead of 'iPhone 12' launch

    Maybe we can get a few different “color ways” for the carriers on that chart? It’s a bit difficult to distinguish between sky blue, steel blue, gray blue, and light blue.

    I have no real inside information here, but if you are on Costco’s mailing list, you’ll see exactly when Apple’s lines are being phased out for new models because they tend to go on sale at Costco soon before the new models are announced.
    So are they currently on sale?


    they are doing a trade in deal for less than a week right now. 350-500 off depending on what you trade in. Apparently models/colors are limited so stock might be low.

    Wow. For such an "ugly" design, they sure do get copied a lot.

  • Satechi launches compact wireless USB-C charger for AirPods

    I can't imagine what the benefit would be to have a wireless charger like that. Just a short USB-C to Lightning cable seems way more practical than this.

    That's not to say I wasn't seeing the benefits of wireless charging in general. Having a stationary mat somewhere so you can just drop your AirPods, iPhone or whatever on absolutely makes sense. But this? I don't get it.
    I don't get it either.  Will probably make a good Xmas gift for someone just because you have to get them something...but otherwise I see no benefit of this.  That is not to say I wouldn't be thankful if someone gave it to me as a gift! :-)
