    If Appleinsider has any control of the ad it might be worth trying to avoid being associated with that content. 
    Google AdSense picks ads for you based on what it thinks it knows about you. This is not a dig, for what it's worth, but we have very little control over what gets served given how the exchange auction works.

    For instance, on this thread, I have a Naturepedic mattress ad. On the homepage, I have two Jeep ads, and two for Scalefusion.
    Yes, it seems to be in a loop of showing me clear scams because I interact with them ie Report.

  • How to change the volume on a Mac in small increments

    I wonder why Apple couldn’t have made it a single modifier key. 
    because each modifier does its own thing( I've just discovered.)
    Shift makes noise when you change volume which is normally a silent operation, Option opens sound control panel. Also good to know

  • The next Apple CEO: Who could succeed Tim Cook?

    Craig Federighi all the way. He’s got the hair for
    the job. 
    I'd be on Team Hair Force One

    Publically, when he talks off the cuff, it is very clear he's all about the customer, how the product drives them, and enables them. Look Tim Cook has done wonderful things and will continue to do so but he seems to  see customer satisfaction as a number that needs to go up, Craig seems to see customers as people who will surprise him and challenge him to design better based on how they invent news ways of doing things with the tech. 

    Would make a nice Tick-Tock A CEO with vision supported by people who understand how to be efficient because the last CEO was effecient surrounded by vision. Situation reverses each time.

    True on sustained performance, but the odd thing is that there's been almost no weight difference ("Air"?) for years when it was 2.8lbs vs 3lbs. Apparently the solution was to make the Pro start at 14" and 3.5 lbs, I'd still love to see a true Air show up at the 2 lb mark again. ߤ禺wj;♂️ 
    Thank you for pointing out that the Air stopped being "airy" long ago, with almost no weight difference vs MBP until the latest MBPs put on weight.

    Sadly, the second iteration of a "true Air" has come and gone: it was the Macbook 12" Retina. 2 pounds of pure joy. Not only was it my primary work computer for five years, but it was the choice of pretty much every top level exec at the top ten cable channel where I was employed. Sure, our video editors weren't using it, but the idea that you couldn't get "real work done" on the MBA 12" was just ridiculous. My current MBA M2 feels unwieldy and like an anchor compared to the super compact and lightweight MB 12" Retina. I keep hoping they resurrect it with Apple Silicon, but I doubt that will happen. 
    This is the problem with only one line. People want the extremes either super light and portable or enough benchmarking on power to be a desktop replacement. 

    There will be a sweet spot for either in different machines but never a sweet spot both. 

    Sure use what is learned from each to make  sure each is doing its job. 

    Ive was wrong to try and merge them and make the fridge toaster book.

  • Apple Vision Pro hands-on roundup: Weighty with a clunky virtual keyboard, but great overa...

    "when all you do is hammer everything looks like a nail"

    Ask Journalist about new spacial computers they all don't know what it is for and complain about keyboard. 

    Why did Apple not give review units to people who are known for what passes for spacial computing with flat display tech?
    Say Austin Meyers of xPlane or Reviewer for CAD software, 3D modeling gurus. People who do the nuts and bolts activities this thing is build for.
