  • Canadians may never get to use AirPods Pro 2 as hearing aids

    DAalseth said:
    A spokesperson for Ontario's Ministry of Health said that prescribing hearing aids is restricted to licensed audiologists and physicians. "Should the AirPods Pro 2 be sold in Ontario as a hearing aid it would need to be done in accordance with the requirements [of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991]

    Ontario is not all of Canada. Why if Ontario objects, couldn’t I still get a set with the feature in British Columbia. 
    Most of Canada's urban population is centered in Ontario.

  • Microsoft blew $8.5 billion on Skype only to spend 14 years killing it

    This is a typical… Lord William… and/or AI's editors… of bad news attracts page views… aka ad revenues.

    Microsoft ‘invested’ $8 Billions 14 years ago… to buy tech and system… in which they bases the actual Team offerings.

    It would be like saying that Apple ‘blew’ $3B to buy Drew's company… to build up Apple Music streaming service.
    They put their bet on teams which plays into their Office Suite. Skype is looked at fondly but is hardly a modern communications tools, inferior to everything else out there. Teams doesn't suck. And they can enforce its use. I'd say it's a well played investment on Msft's part.

    eBay wanted the service as a bolt on to their auction system before eBay finally turned into a swamp of cheesy resellers.

  • Apple customers start receiving the iPhone 16e

    the showing of apple employees and especially chief briber Cook greeting people at their stores with such enthusiasm is appalling.

  • Apple to build AI servers in Houston, invest $500B in U.S. economy

    Like so much of a bribery victim's fealty, this will amount to no investment, no jobs, but plenty of time for T**** (the convicted felon and sexual predator) to lead his boy Cook around on a leash.

  • Apple cut too much by removing MagSafe from the iPhone 16e

    I just bought a Belkin QI2 charger and it is very fast. How much faster do you get with MagSafe. Seems to be a non issue to me. 
    It's the tech spec, not the connector.
