    In short, let him think he's won and just slow walk the thing until he finally does his one truly good deed for humanity- disappears. 
    In the event that he did fall off his perch, would Vance pursue a significantly different course?  And it's by no means certain the Dems would win the next election.  Assuming of course there is one  :)

    By letting web pages affect the color of the bookmark bar, address bar, and tab bar, it's become pretty much impossible to find the active tab when the web page has dark/black background and it's impossible to read bookmark labels when the web page has a white background. 
    I agree.  To someone with less than perfect eyesight tranlucency is an abomination.  Readability depends largely on contrast between the elements and having the background intrude lessens this, unless the degree of translucency can be varied to near zero.  

    It works with the Vison Pro since you are dealing with two realities: the real and the virtual.  For a computer screen it's like reading a book with the reverse page showing through.  

    Unfortunately I guess we're going to be stuck with it.

    It is tragic. I mourn the death of knowledge, of fact, of reality, of compassion. The only thing left is greed and hate in the people that follow him. It is pitiful.
    I'm old enough to remember Bobby Kennedy and can only think his late father must be spinning in his grave.  Seen from this side of the pond, tragic is an inadeaquate description as we watch the death of the America we once knew, or at least thought we knew.

  • New EU regulations mandate user-replaceable batteries in Apple products

    seneca72seneca72
    Generally speaking I'm a supporter of the EU but this regarding batteries is plain daft.  For some items replacement will be relatively simple but others such as cars where the battery is a structural element are definitely not user replaceable.

    Wonder how long it will be before the EU mandates that Apple must allow users to install Android on iPhones.

    This is monumentally bad for privacy. It's making me reconsider my investments in Apple products. My entire family belongs to the Apple ecosystem. We all have some version of the iPhone 12, iPads and Apple Watches. It starts with examining personal pictures ostensibly to prevent child exploitation, but where does it lead? Where does it end? 


    If it makes the perverts switch to Android, so be it and good riddance. And I doubt you will leave the platform when you realize you’re still better off with iOS than Android. Google will be doing exactly the same thing shortly as it usually follows Apple in these matters. Who will you go to? Your statement is just a fart in a wind storm. Good luck with it making any difference.
    Google's already doing it, as is Microsoft.   See Charles Arthur's comments here:
