Trump signs executive order banning TikTok, WeChat on Sept. 20
President Trump had little understanding about what was important in the negotiations of trade agreements with China. Rather than focus on what was important, mainly protecting IP, and opening markets, he went off the rails and demanded China purchase more food from USA.
His bumbling negotiations made everything worse (as usual) and here we are, attempting to “look strong” on China to improve his election chances. He’s targeting TikTok specifically because young people (Americans) on TikTok hate his guts, and successfully interfered with a rally.Is this related to a risk to Americans? Nope. It’s fear of young people interfering with the election. Since they don’t have a vote, TikTok (and other apps like it) give them a voice.
Bottom line, if TikTok was a real threat they could have audited the code, and not just banned it. Trump has no idea what he’s doing. If they disliked him before, now he’s pissed them off. Who’s pissed? Millions of young tech savvy Americans with to much free time on their hands (exacerbated by the coronavirus). This is going to blow up in his face... What a fool!

LinkedIn sued over clipboard snooping iOS app activity
That’s an oversimplification. But, users agree to the terms and conditions with regards to targeted ads.Rayz2016 said:And yet people are quite happy to let Google read their emails. 🤷🏾♂️
This is completely different. Included in the lawsuit should be Apple. They new about this and ignored it for a long time... I’d like to hear their reasoning in front of a judge.

Apple Silicon Mac mini dev kit looks like a desktop iPad Pro
There’s not enough information to conclude that. We have tablet hardware running a desktop OS. This isn’t the hardware that will be shipping to customers.mretondo said:Apple made it perfectly clear that ARM is slower than Intel. In fact they screamed it out load if you were listening. There wasn’t a single side by side demo of FCP X running on two Macs doing a long task like rendering. Intel takes 2 minutes while ARM takes 1.5 minutes. That’s all it would’ve taken to show how fast ARM is. The reason, ARM is slower!
All this is, is hardware so the devs can kick the tires and fix their code.

Senators to introduce COVID-19 contact tracing privacy legislation
Nope. Full speed ahead.Beats said:Just cancel the damn thing. I know Apple had good intentions but greed is making it over-complicated.
This is basically legislation written by Apple/Google. If Congress attempted to do it themselves it would be much much worse... after the umpteenth committee and two epidemics later, they’ll have decided Apple had the best approach.

Apple planning on releasing 23-inch iMac, 11-inch iPad Air in 2020
Non-SSD’s are only good for external storage.lkrupp said:
Why do you care if an iMac is not SSD only? People are always harping about choice so why force something you want on a user who doesn’t want or need what you do? Of course you can order an SSD only iMac today so what’s the problem? And double the resolution? The iMac is 5K but you want 10K? How does that even work?Beats said:I love iMacs. Would love to see 1TB SSD standard now. And retina on all models. Maybe smaller bezels but not important.davebarnes said:We have over $3500 burning a hole in our pocket for a new iMac.
Want:
1. larger size than 27
2. double the resolution
3. SSD only
Larger than 27" and double the resolution? We already have 5k iMacs, doubling the resolution won't make a difference unless you mean very large screens when you mentioned larger than 27”.
