  • Apple Watch summons immediate help for man who fell through ice

    matrix077matrix077
    I've just sat down after standing up for half an hour, and it tells me to stand up for a minute.
    This is either a lie or your Watch is malfunctioned. The Apple Watch doesn't tell you to stand at the beginning of the hours. It'll do at the end so if you *just* standing for half an hour there is no way it will tell you to stand, unless.. unless you stood very still and haven't moved your hand then the watch won't count your standing because the Stand is "stands and moves about for a minute" not standing still.

    Interesting. China huh? Nothing about the massive on going widespread Russian breach that had been going on for 9 months undetected. Could it be that they are being directed to focus on China while ignoring all other threats. Even as the attack is happening in real time, they are focusing on China. No one else finds that to be odd?
    Or it’s simply because the US rarely buy computer hardware and software from Russia. 
    jeez..
    That's a pretty uninformed response.  I rarely agree with anything genovelle posts, but in this instance their quote is 100% right.  We're making all kinds of noise about what China could possibly-might-maybe-sorta kinda do regarding our economy.  Yet we're conspicuously ignoring the actual and possible ongoing breach from Russia that focused on our tech and government.  Ars Technica has an illuminating article about the breach. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/12/only-an-elite-few-solarwinds-hack-victims-received-follow-on-attacks/
    Excerpt: " Of the 18,000 organizations that downloaded a backdoored version of software from SolarWinds, the tiniest of slivers—possibly as small as 0.2 percent—received a follow-on hack that used the backdoor to install a second-stage payload. The largest populations receiving stage two were, in order, tech companies, government agencies, and think tanks/NGOs. The vast majority—80 percent—of these 40 chosen ones were located in the US." 

    This has nothing to do with where we buy computer hardware and software.  It's about actual infiltration vs narrative building FUD.  Jeez.
    Blah blah blah.. did you even understand “ buy computer hardware and software”. What you’re talking about is hacking, entirely different to what DHS objective in the article. 
    What do you want DHS to say? Avoids Russia hacking? Like there are companies out there purposefully wants Russia to hack them? Jeeezzzz...

    In case you’re too stupid to understand (how would I know? Your response seem to point that way), there ARE companies purposefully buy Chinese computer hardware an software because they’re cheaper. That’s what the point of this warning.

  • Apple TV Remote app inspired Steve Jobs' concept of Apple TV Siri Remote

    matrix077matrix077
    Another vote of love for Apple TV Remote. What I like about it is it’s simplicity. It makes traditional remote feels old. I can operate it without looking at it, and I never look at it apart from when lift it up (to see which way is which). From just a touch of my hand I can feel it’s functions, top left Back, top right Home, bottom right volume up and down, middle left Siri and bottom left Play/Pause (which I rarely use for that. I mostly use it to set audio to HomePod instead of my TV speakers). This is purely from my memory since I’m typing this at my office and my remote is at my home so you can tell every buttons already are ingrained into my muscle memory. 
    Grant my hand is small so it fits me perfectly.

    That’s it China.  Just keep going.  Just keep giving Apple more reasons to diversify manufacturing out of your country.  The sooner, the better.  And good riddance.


    The Chinese are the ones who are in a position to say good riddance to Apple and not the other way around as you claim.

    You don't know too much about business, do you?
    Apple is the smartest, most valuable company on Earth.  China has a ruthless, repressive, totalitarian, imperial government and their society has no regard for pluralism or diversity in any political or cultural aspect of its society.  Its leaders are utterly unaccountable to the people they supposedly serve.  Chinese "business" is all about the Communist Party in corrupt sweetheart deals with ruthless, robber-baron, nepotistic capitalists.  Chinese despise foreigners at home and treat hosts in other countries like garbage. I'd gladly pay a couple dollars more for a phone than have any piece of it made in China.
    Apple users used to be able to smell propaganda but maybe not any more. The China you’re describing isn’t the one my sister has lived in for the last 10 years.
    Maybe you should ask yourself why we’re demonising a country/ideology - just like we did before we started our Islamic holocaust.
    Then your sister doesn’t live in China. I’d have known since the majority of my wife relatives are living there, and Hong Kong.
