Apple FineWoven case review: Not the leather replacement we were hoping for
Draco said:I don't understand the virtue signaling around leather. The animals are slaughtered for their meat anyway, so what are we supposed to do--throw the skins away?It’s everything - water and feeding them - what can be used to plant food for people. Cows burping and farting - greenhouse gases. Not very animal friendly keeping them… stress by slaughtering… just to name some of the arguments that may speak against using animal products - in nutrition, cars, furniture, protective cases… not saying i support/agree with all of them, but you asked for the reasons

USB-C in iPhone 15 is all but certain as more components surface
Sad thing is that the only standard is the physical appearance of the connector. Otherwise it is a mess… Example from non-Apple world. A friend of mine has a One Plus phone that supports 75 W charging. BUT only with original One Plus charger. Connect it to any 100 W laptop charger with USB-C connector and you charge with 15 W only… so much for the ‘standard’ thing…

Apple's Mac mini has outlasted Intel's NUC
I bought one of those ‘NetTops’ back in the day. To replace that huge loud PC… it was a huge mistake with Intel Atom… slow CPU, veeery slow HDD… it was happy to start Windows. Than you had to wait to load all the background apps/system features… never again…

Apple announces new Music, Podcasts, and Maps features coming in the fall
And still users outside of US or few other selected region pay full price for partial services… i don’t understand what is so difficult on releasing Fitness+ worldwide… -
Internal fighting and privacy concerns hinder Apple's ability to modernize Siri
Maybe i see it from a very simple and uninformed point of view. But couldn’t Apple give users a choice? Choose on device Siri for more privacy but with less features or cloud based Siri that can handle more things?
