  • Trump is too busy for his own tariff negotiations, so will dictate terms instead

    While this certainly sounds like something Trump would do, what is the source for this story? This should be big news but I'm seeing nothing about it on CNBC, WSJ, Bloomberg or any other business news site. 
    Reading the article will help you find the source. Those blue words are links. Here's the specific link from the AI article to the Bloomberg report you apparently missed:

  • Apple may be able to delay price increases, but not for long

    The top of the article says that prices would rise in the US and elsewhere. I’m struggling with rationalizing the “and elsewhere” part of it. I see how prices would have to rise for American consumers because tariffs would apply on products produced in China, but why would prices rise for those outside of the US?
    It may depend on whether the goods "pass through" the US on the way to their final destination. (EDIT) Also, the US doesn't just include the 50 states. There's also the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other territories the US controls.

    In theory, if you ship goods directly from China to say, Canada ... the US tariffs should not apply. But if they products arrive in the US and are THEN shipped to other countries, tariffs may apply.

    It's all pretty confusing.

  • New macOS malware disguises itself as Chrome & Zoom installers

    chasmchasm
    This particular threat is easy to avoid.

    1. No self-respecting Apple user should be using Google's spyware Chrome to do anything.

    2. If you need a Zoom client, get it from zoom.us (that's the official website). Nowhere else.

    How do I turn it off? Mail is all mucked up with “features” that are useless to me and just get in the way. 
    I find it very useful, but if you want to turn it off in Mail you most certainly can:

    1. Open Mail on your iPhone.
    2. Tap the "three dots" menu in the upper right corner.
    3. Choose "List View"

    Done!

  • More French-language programming coming to Apple TV+ in EU countries

    chasmchasm
    This isn't an Apple problem.

    My Apple TV shows me only English-language (and bilingual) programming. This is because in the Settings app for my Apple TV, under General -> Language and Region, I have set my Apple TV language to English, and my Region to US.

    Perhaps you should check that if you haven't already. There are still a couple of shows on Apple TV+ that are bilingual, like Pachinko and Acapulco, but subtitles kick on when English is not spoken (most of the time).

    I can't comment on YouTube, but I will bet that there is a setting for your language in the app and on the service's homepage. Same with Google. That will limit but not entirely exclude the occasional bit of foreign language appearing in your media, but will make English the dominant language for the media you consume.

    OTOH, learning at least one additional language wouldn't kill you, and opens up more travel, culture, and general world experiences -- not to mention the roots of many, many English words.

    Later this year, I'm hoping to get at least passably conversational in German, as I already am in French and Dutch, in hopes of visiting Germany for Oktoberfest.
