  • MacBook, MacBook Pro keyboard repairs 'prioritized' for in-store next-day service

    I would love to know the backstory on this keyboard. A lot of people blame Apple’s obsession with thinness for the issues yet Windows OEMs have laptops as thin as the MBP without problems.  There are two separate issues with the butterfly keyboard which often seem to get conflated. Less key travel is not a defect it’s a personal preference. Keys sticking or plain not working is definitely a defect and something these butterfly keyboards seem to be plagued with.

    DED articles are the girl that cried "Wolf!", it's fun in the beginning but after a few years it gets boring and predictable.


    His articles always seem awfully defensive. I mean if Siri was the best DED wouldn’t need to write a long article telling us was. Everyone would just know it. My biggest issue with Siri is consistency. One day when I ask Siri if it’s windy out Siri says “no I don’t think it’s all that windy, about 11 mph right now”. The next day I ask the same question and Siri says “yes it does seem rather windy, about 9 mph right now”. And there are times where Siri will say sorry it can’t get an answer for me for things it’s given me an answer on in the past. I’m glad Siri has a dedicated SVP now but unfortunately Cook allowed it to languish under Eddy Cue’s org for far to long.

    We are new to the Roku box but like these very much. 
    I prefer the Apple TV because it isn't collecting massive amounts of data about the shows I watch and how and where I use it, nor trying to actively monetize that data by selling it and inserting ads. You might want to do a search on "Roku" on this site and do a little research. They're also forever on the brink of being in financial trouble, thus the monetizing.
    I have a TCL Roku TV. Love it. In settings you can check a box to limit add tracking.

  • Apple unveils 5th-gen iPad mini with Apple Pencil support, better Retina display

    So if you have the latest Pro and also would like a mini for portability you can’t share a Pencil across the devices. How ridiculous.

  • Apple debuts 2019 iPad Air with A12 Bionic chip and enhanced 10.5-inch display

    So the iPad lineup gets confusing again. Why the need for iPad and iPad Air? Just so they can fill a price point at $499? And why aren’t they moving all iPads to Pencil 2 support? And the new mini starts at $399 while the bigger iPad is $329. So confusing.
