  • Apple tells European developers to contact DHL over problem DTK returns

    Anyone in the UK, not wanting to call an Irish number - call 0800 279 8067, and ask for Adam (he’s the guys dealing with Apple DTK returns). He’s very helpful, and changed my address on the spot.

  • Apple, TSMC rumored to be working on chips for a Tesla-like 'Apple Car'

    They had better bring their blacker-than-black game... can’t have BMW being the only one with nano-black tech on cars!

  • Using Apple CarPlay impairs driver reaction more than alcohol, study shows

    Why does so much time get wasted on reports like this? It really frustrates me (if that wasn't obvious), as there seems to be a total absence of common sense when choosing what (or what not) to include in comparisons such as these. It's almost as if the trolls are instigating these studies to deliberately annoy us (or is it just me?).

    It's undoubtedly more of a distraction having a passenger in the seat next to you chattering away for the whole journey (often with you turning your head towards them - just watch any movie)... but you never see them put that in these studies.

    Why are these ignoramuses so hell-bent on vilifying technology? Next they'll be outlawing heating controls and indicators (blinkers), as they also detract from your attention on the road. I can honestly say that some road junctions have so much signage that I almost forget where I'm going by the time I'm done reading them all. Who's persecuting the idiots that poorly set up the roads themselves?

    What a blatant waste of resources and research time this was... As it stands, self-driving cars are already (at least on average) safer than humans at driving... The focus should be on getting legislation in place, and diverting resources toward improving automated vehicles.

  • Galaxy Buds+ versus AirPods Pro & Powerbeats Pro

    I do wish Andrew would refer to these as earbuds or earphones. Headphones, as the name would suggest, sit on your head. Do Americans not differentiate? There's a world of difference. Regardless, it was a great review of these three great products. Thanks
