  • Apple backs US rare earth magnets supply chain with $500 million deal

    Smart move. Should have done this long ago - or started a recycling project itself, considering how important this is. 

    And they could have rolled it into their green program. Could have been a part of their Mother Nature skit. LOL
    They have been. They've been working with this company refurbing rare earths with Apple for six years. This is addressed in the article.
    Indeed. But not in this scale. 

    If it was sufficient, they’d not need this partnership. 

    Sometimes there is “doing something” and other times there is doing it with intent. 

    Interesting thst Apple is calling it part of their us manufacturing investment. 

    While it fits, it would seem to make any hope of something grrat coming out of that just a tiny bit less.

  • Apple still effectively blocks rival browser engines on iOS despite EU order

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    The eu can’t force apple to do its bidding outside of the eu. 

    Snd apple has complied and no one stepped in to take advantage. Can’t blame apple for that. 

    Add pompous to the arrogance thst defies the corrupt eu.

  • Jason Momoa's 'Chief of War' brings Hawaiian history to Apple TV+

    Jason momma seems kinda played out at this point. Kinda like Pedro pascal. 

    And the previews look a bit too similar to See. 

    But here’s hoping it’s good.

  • DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app

    Hmm, who could have guessed interfering with law enforcement efforts would be illegal? It's no different than attempting to block a police vehicle doing its duty to protect Americans against those who would do us harm. You know… gang members, drug dealers, convicted felons, cartel thugs, human traffickers, and so on.

    And let's call out the specious idea that Ice Block is no different than a radar detector or warning drivers of a speed trap. A speed zone warning is an alert to POTENTIAL law breakers. Ice Block interferes with police efforts to apprehend individuals who have ALREADY BROKEN AT LEAST ONE LAW. Do you see the difference? Well do you?

    Pardon me for using logic and pointing out the obvious. Now go ahead and hurl the Leftist phrases you learned from CNN.
    It is exactly what I have bolded. Courts for decades have upheld the right of people to do exactly that. Apple Maps now will warn you of a speed trap, and the administration doesn't seem to care about that.

    Why? Because it's legal. Because ruling after ruling, it's been ruled as protected by the first amendment. 

    So has freedom of the press, which is what the administration is apparently more pissed about.
    Totally different issues. 

    The key difference between the red light / speed trap warnings is that they help limit the POTENTIAL of committing a crime/violation - it's actually a great deterrent - whereas ICE raids are about addressing ALREADY COMMITTED crime/violations. You can't deter an already committed crime. 

    Speed trap warnings in Apple Maps are helpful to avoid breaking the law and getting busted for it. ICE maps apps are simply helping criminals get away with crime. Huge difference. 

    You don't aid and abet a criminal in escaping the police during a raid or chase. In the same way, you don't aid and abet illegal aliens to escape the law.  

    This is likely not going to go well for the maker of the app.
