  • Apple TV with faster processor, 'Find My Remote' tech could launch in 2021

    How on earth would you trigger the find my remote when all the buttons are on the remote?  Might there be a button or some sort of UI on the next Apple TV?

    Also, being able to find the remote is just about the least of all the problems I have with the remote.  I hope that isn't the only thing they're adding.
    Probably by using your iPhone, Apple Watch, computer or iPad, or HomePod. I would imagine a "Hey Siri, find my Living Room Apple TV remote" would do it.

  • Students failing college AP test due to unsupported HEIC iPhone photo format

    andyringandyring
    Wrong, Eric.

    The iPhone SHOULD default to sending JPG photos any and every time a photo leaves the iPhone, with the sole exception being photos destined for iCloud storage/backup. I hate HEIC, it screws up all kinds of stuff. Apple has a decades-long history of implementing changes like this with a "shoot first and ask questions later" mentality, or removing functionality and labeling it a "feature."

    And to say "the problem is a test maker that hasn't bothered to check if their web app works with iPhones for three years. Period." is incredibly disingenuous and, quite frankly, shows your blatant ignorance. This is happening in large part due to the COVID garbage.

  • Future iPad or iPhone could both recognize and display handwriting

    Revamp of the Newton handwriting technology from the 1990s. It's about time!

  • Apple cancelled encrypted iCloud plans after the FBI complained

    In other words, don't back up your device(s) to iCloud. Problem solved. I never have and never will. I back up my phone directly to the computer, via encrypted backups. And my internal disk and both Time Machine disks are encrypted as well. My data is mine and mine alone.

  • Apple's new Communication Limits parental control feature bypassed by bug

    And yet the whole Downtime thing is still a joke anyway. Why? You cannot prevent a kid from changing the clock on the phone! Downtime kicks in at 8 p.m.? No problem! Change the iPhone's clock back a couple hours. With my teenager, we've resorted to having him give us the phone at 8 p.m. each day and we charge it in a locked room.
