  • New AirPods Pro coming at iPhone 14 Apple Event

    It doesn't really affect me whether or not the charging is via Lightning or USB-C but it definitely needs a longer lasting battery. I will probably have to wait for 3rd party accessories to arrive though. The AirPod Pros will not stay in my ears without attaching 3rd party ear hooks. They have the kind that go over the ear like the PowerBeats Pro but I have the kind that just tuck inside one of the folds of the outer ear. They are very comfortable and my AirPod Pros have never fallen off no matter what I do or for how long with the ear hooks in place. The cost is $14.99 for three pairs so I think it's pretty reasonable. But I do wish that Apple made AirPods that don't fall out. This is a case where Apple does not live up to the mantra of "It Just Works" in my opinion.

  • Apple reportedly working on at least three AR, VR headsets

    I can't think of a use case for AR vs I can think of uses for VR. I guess we'll see how it all works out.

  • Apple Watch Pro with iPhone 13 design cues rumored for Sept. event

    I really like the look of the current  Watch. I never understood design changes just for the sake of change.

  • Apple's CSAM detection system may not be perfect, but it is inevitable

    Interested read but such naivety…

    “Governments can't tell Apple to include terrorist content into the CSAM database.”

    Right now. But that is being pushed step by step. Is the author unaware of the pressure the current government has put on private companies to censor content? Does the author not understand that the obsession with ‘misinformation’ is little more than a means to inject that government control?

    Is the author unaware that ‘misinformation’ has been going on forever and that it’s not a new phenomenon? I watched a TV show on a reputable TV network decades ago on the moon landing being fake. Back then exploring a wide range of ideas, no matter how ridiculous, was considered valuable for mature humans.

    The only thing that has changed is people in society are increasingly immoral, and therefore people are increasingly unable to express self-responsibility and think critically. 

    The more we take the power away from the people the more likely it will end up in the governments’ hands. The government is not an altruistic benign organisation.
    You are misinforming people regarding the reputable network claiming that the Moon landing was fake. There may have been a show where they talked about the Moon landing being fake but the network would not have presented it as a fact. I have seen shows like that a couple of times and it was always presented as “some people believe.” And they go through the so called evidence  and then explain how their theories don’t make sense. One example would be that the flag is supposedly waving even though there is no wind on the Moon and the answer is that the flag is not waving. It just looks that way to some because of the way the flag was set up. And they explain all of this in the show. You would have to be pretty gullible to watch the show and actually come away believing that the Moon landing was fake.

  • Chamberlain pulls the plug on its HomeKit smart home bridge

    I bought one in 2020 along with the latest Chaimberlain belt drive opener. I called a company to install everything for me so I have no idea how hard it is to install but the bridge works great for me. Although it would have been much better if HomeKit was built into the opener itself instead of having to have a bridge. Or maybe they just installed the opener and I had to install the bridge. I don’t really remember, but I definitely never had a problem with the bridge.
