  • Trump's chip tariff threat takes aim at Apple's TSMC partnership

    It all comes down to labor. Are American companies willing to bring mass manufacturing back to America? A typical Chinese Foxconn factory employs 100,000 to 200,000 workers and pays them roughly $2-3 an hour depending on overtime. While the base shift at Foxconn is usually 8 hours, overtime of 2-4 hours is common.

    The average minimum wage in America is $7.50. Now with all these deportations happening, what American is willing to work at a factory, for 8-12 hours a day, making minimum wage to manufacture iPhones?

  • If your iPhone alarms aren't going off, you're not alone

    I had to repeatedly change the alarm sound to something else and back, as Settings forgot the setting and didn’t have anything to play. The sound level was still too quiet.

    Apple’s volume control system seems limited. You can set volume levels for different things, but you must be in a specific mode to do so. There is probably one person at Apple who knows what all the different contextual modes for setting the volume. I do know that changing the volume while using Apple Maps requires waiting for navigation to change it. Changing the volume of an alarm requires doing it while the alarm is playing, but touching the volume buttons silences it. To work around this, set a five-second timer, open Control Center, and tap the volume control. When the alarm goes off, the volume control will switch to controlling the alarm’s volume.

    However, this solution doesn’t address accessibility needs. Why isn’t there an Accessibility section to set volume levels for all modes?
    It's an absolute cluster of confusion and really should be simplified.

    I also feel like the alarm setting is just kind of flakey in general. It seems like there are to many variables for it not to go off... phone is muted, the volume is not high enough, etc. It's an alarm. It should only have one volume and it should be annoying. Maybe have two options "light wake up" which will gradually wake you up or "hard wake up" which is just an annoying volume to ensure you wake up.

  • How a 'Severance' pop-up surprised rush hour New Yorkers

    And I bet these glass walls were soundproof so no sound from the outside could get in, and no inside sound could get out.

  • Apple won't return TikTok to the App Store until it's sold to a U.S. buyer

    The move to acquire TikTok is reminiscent of eminent domain, or the process of the government acquiring private property for public use provided it fairly compensates the original owner. However, because the only requirement is that ByteDance divests to a U.S.-based owner, who would likely retain it as private property, it does not meet the criteria.

    I’m sorry, what? What move to acquire TikTok? By who?

    How did eminent domain become relevant in this discussion? This reads like a fever dream. 
    Rumor has it Elon Musk is looking to buy the company.
