  • iPadOS 18 review: making iPad better for everyone but the pros

    AppleZuluAppleZulu
    The iPad does have M-series chips, yes, but it has neither passive nor active ventilation for cooling those chips. It is a wafer-thin, sealed case tablet. This is a key reason why you won't see those background tasks you're hoping for. It's why the people who want it to run MacOS will continue to be disappointed. The chipset is not an indication that iPads are just MacBooks hobbled by an inferior operating system. They are different devices. Even the bottom-of-the-line MacBook Air has passive ventilation in order to accommodate MacOS. Those M series chips will make iPads do really fast and really well what it is that iPads do, but they are not a transition to an all-in-one device.

  • Trump vs. Harris: How to watch the September 10 Presidential debate online

    AppleZuluAppleZulu
    Almost four years ago, I watched in real time as Trump incited a violent mob and sent them towards the Capitol in an effort to subvert the results of the last election. They weren’t tourists. They weren’t peaceful protesters. Then I watched in real time as Trump did nothing for hours to call them off as they ransacked the seat of government. Only when it was clear that his coup had failed did he tell the mob that he loved them, but they should go home now. 

    Regardless of anything else the man did, no one who has taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and then did that should be allowed anywhere near the White House or any other elected office or position of power. 

    You can argue policy and politics all day and all night, but in a constitutional democracy, there is no place for what Trump did on that day. The courts have been painfully slow to deliver consequences for his actions, but the voters can finally do so in November.

  • Apple's iPhone water resistance has a big catch, claims new lawsuit

    AppleZuluAppleZulu
    I don’t have time to this myself, but I suspect some enlightenment could be derived by comparing the fine print on this subject for the Apple Watch and the iPhone, if someone wants to do it. 

    The phone claims a level of water resistance. The watch is actually sold as something you can use while swimming. I suspect the difference in warranty language would shed light on what the phone’s warranty limitations are all about.

    Apple doesn’t cover accidental damage either under their basic warranty no matter how new the product is. For accidental damage to be covered you have to purchase Apple Care+.
    A friend of mine bought a MBP and few months later he spilled tea on his keyboard. He took it to an Apple Store and they fixed it for him for free.
    My experience with AirPods Pro are less good. I can’t use noise cancellation or transparency as the left one clicks as I walk. I also have a mic fault on the right one that makes a loud noise for the other person when on a call (so I’ve had to set the left one as the mic). Apple’s answer? Buy new ones.
    First generation AirPods Pro had a clicking problem, yes. They replaced mine twice under warranty before resolving the defect in design/manufacturing.

  • How to stop Musk's Grok AI from training on anything you've ever said or done on X

    Who wants to bet that the data-sharing tick-box under "grok settings" is wired to precisely nothing?
