    As I see it, facebook has it's hands in both cookie jars.  It's facebook at fault.  They screwed around both 2012 and 2016 elections.  They KNOW what was going on in both elections.  As of manipulating the voters, I don't blame the co-horts of the Democrats or Republicans - it's the co-horts job to sway the voters.  If the voters who got swayed by the tactics feel bad, they should sue facebook.  facebook just saw dollar signs in front of their beady eyes.  facebook just sees it's users as products.  To me, facebook should be scrapped.

    I'm thinking the audio pins of the lightning connector will still work but the data pins will be disabled.

  • macOS Mojave will drop support for some older Macs released before 2012

    Well, there is a guy with the name of dosdude1 that's working on a solution for the unsupported Macs.  Yeah, I have some Mac Minis from 2011 that hopefully will work.

    Will keep you guys updated.

    I don’t have any synchronisation problem among devices. Why do I need to enable Messages on iCloud? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
    A lot of people do have sync problems though... 3 for 3 in our family. Every one of my friends who uses Macs/iDevices has complained about it too. I think I'd count yourself lucky, for now.

    In that sense... this makes sense, BUT...

    By not including SMS messages in the cloud, this means I still can’t set up a device as new and get my full messsge history. Another half-baked feature from Apple ☹️.
    Yea, I was like... WHAT?!?! That somewhat defeats the point.

    I think the SMS feature is from your mobile phone carrier. Thus Apple is not involved in the SMS traffic.
    Well, they can't obviously sync them back through the carrier, but why can't they sync them across iCloud to all the devices? It's displayed in Messages, so they have the data.
    Maybe it's Apple-as-usual, and we'll get this in version 3.2 of iCloud Messages in 2021 or something. Of course, I'm still waiting for the ability to duplicate calendar events, how many years later? (One sometimes gets the feeling Apple people must not actually use this stuff.)
    I don't think Apple would have the SMS data as it's just between your iPhone and the mobile phone carrier.  Sure, Messages maybe the app that does SMS, but it's the carrier that has the data.  I see no reason why Apple would be involved with SMS.  Complain to your phone carrier.
