The new MacBook Pro: Why did Apple backtrack on everything?
waveparticle said:I capture screen shots often. The new function keys should make this task easier. I never use the esc key, I do not know when it is needed.
The escape key is quite useful. You're missing out on a lot. For instance, how would you force quit a hung application without command-option-ESC? Go through the hassle of opening Activity Monitor first? It's also good for stopping web pages from loading without resorting to the X button. And most of all, virtually all dialog boxes accept ESC as cancel. I'm guessing you're a mouse-only person who doesn't like keyboard shortcuts.

New 'See' featurette debuts before series premiere on August 27
Jfdesigns's plot holes notwithstanding, I just didn't find the show interesting. Gave up halfway through the first episode.

iPad with titanium chassis reportedly on the horizon
Titanium is quite abundant and easy to find. It's just difficult and expensive to refine. Don't forget, Apple has already used titanium in the past, namely the Powerbook G4 Titanium twenty years ago.radarthekat said:I’d vote not to employ a strategic metal in a consumer product. Unless someone has recently found a rich supply of Titanium ore somewhere in a friendly country.

New York's updated Excelsior vaccine passport drops Apple Wallet support
https://www.jhsph.edu/covid-19/articles/why-covid-19-vaccines-offer-better-protection-than-infection.htmlpatchythepirate said:How are people just blindly accepting these vaccine passports? How is it that so few even question something that is so obviously absurd? The fact that they don't accommodate for natural immunity, which is *superior* to the vaccine 'immunity,' should be a clear indication that we're being manipulated. Not to mention the fact that they make no sense, since people 'vaccinated' with these gene modifying agents can still catch and spread covid. It's shocking how many people are accepting these 'passports' as somehow justifiable.

NSO Group CEO says law-abiding citizens have 'nothing to be afraid of'
MplsP said:Just like Jamal Kashoggi had nothing to be afraid of?Bullshit
The Washington Post had a story a couple of days ago about a daughter of Dubai's ruthless ruler, who was desperately trying to get away from her dad. Left behind her phone and everything, but apparently some of her contacts also got surveilled via NSO and she was hauled kicking and screaming from her escape boat. Her elder sister had disappeared years earlier after being captured during an escape attempt. They sure must have been dangerous criminals.
