  • Why Android users have been switching to iPhone in greater numbers

    Sketchy reasons at best considering phone companies all but give away Samsung smartphones. The Samsung and iPhone cameras both are outstanding so that can’t be it. Battery life is comparable on both platforms so that can’t be it.

    The reason people switch to the iPhone is because their friends use iPhones and they don’t want to be the dork on the outside looking in. Any android users should be switching to the iPhone if they are concerned about privacy and security, but I doubt that much of a consideration for hard-core Android users.

  • iMessage Contact Key Verification appears in first iOS 16.6 beta

    Thanks. So the trade off is that who you’re conversing with, will find out if you add another device to the conversation. 

    But what about if that extra device was already there when the conversation started? I’m curious, where does one draw the line? How do you know (audit) if these other devices are legit or eves-droppers?
    If you are in the category of people needing this then you do care. For the vast majority (99.99999999999999999%)messaging their mindless dribble, shopping list, pickup times, etc this is of no interest.

  • Why ISP email services are terrible, and what to use instead

    Hedware said:
    I use iCloud email as it is ISP independent. The downside is that my emails can be treated as spam by some recipients. Apple is unhelpful in remedying this issue. 
    That has nothing to do with Apple.

  • How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the iMac 27 years ago

    patdiddy said:
    Steve Jobs was a true genius. The only problem with the iMac’s early debut was that nobody had really dealt with Ethernet or WiFi at the time, in fact, the internet was just really starting to become a thing. 

    Had it debuted with the iPod, Steve Jobs might have had the best way to get digital music, and saved apple completely.
    Ethernet existed well before the iMac and was a must for a computer that would be used by businesses. WiFi was on the bleeding edge so it made since to build a computer Gyr the future and for yesterday.

  • A practical guide for why spatial audio music is great

    It’s a n alteration of the music that no artist once. Music is recorded and produced as the artist and producer want it done. What they do not want is it altered in any way. Nothing but another audio gimmick.
