  • Trump gives Apple a giant break with wide-ranging tariff exemptions

    lesterkrimbaughlesterkrimbaugh
    Trump's Tariff/Sales Tax is modeled on the Tariff Taxes levied on Americans before income taxes were instituted in 1935. The Tariff Taxes are, per Project 2025, meant to replace the income tax.

    - Under Trump’s Tariff/Sales Tax Plan people living paycheck to paycheck will pay 27% of their incomes in tariff and sales taxes.
    - Those wealthy enough to save 1/2 of their incomes will pay 13.5% of their incomes in tariff and sales taxes.
    - Billionaires who invest most of their incomes pay next to nothing in taxes relative to their incomes.

    Tariffs will bankrupt farms and small businesses allowing billionaires and venture capitalists to buy property for pennies on the dollar. Home ownership will become a footnote in history. Neo-feudalists led by their intellectual guru, Curtis Yarvin, tout a corporate monarchy in which all but a very few billionaires and millionaires live in indentured servitude at the beck and call of the upper classes. They want to bring back the Middle Ages and make themselves our lieges.

    But all is not lost. We will still have our iPhones on which to watch cat videos.

  • M4 Mac mini may have a USB-C connectivity problem

    lesterkrimbaughlesterkrimbaugh
    I'm not convinced it's a hardware specific issue. I'm having a similar problem with USB-A and USB-C devices on an older M1 MacBook Air.

    I have had a very stable USB environment using an OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock (11 port) since 2021. Then right after the latest MacOS 15 upgrade several of my UISB devices lost connectivity. After offloading my USB-A devices to an OWC Thunderbolt 3 mini Dock most came back up but the CyberPower UPS USB-A continues to lose connectivity intermittently.

    So it looks like this is on Apple's software.

  • Sonos CEO leaves company over botched iOS app

    lesterkrimbaughlesterkrimbaugh
    Don't know why.

    The update was fine UNTIL THE FIRST TIME I LAUNCHED IT.

    Then it DELETED my home, all my speakers, everything.

    AND I HAD TO FACTORY RESET EVERY SINGLE SPEAKER to add them to the new app.

    Even then EACH AND EVERY SPEAKER WAS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO A DIFFERENT ROOM NOT OF MY CHOOSING.

    On second thought, firing is too good for him.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook personally invested $1 million in Trump's inauguration

    I'm old enough to remember when businesses didn't have to graft millions of dollars into Presidents' slush funds to curry favor and stay in business.

    Prolly shoulda used his pseudonym, Tim Apple. That way Trump would know who to thank.
