  • We tried Tesla's wireless charger -- but we can't show you

    As for an Apple users like myself, since "Apple devices can still(?) [only] charge up to 7.5W per device. Android devices -- or select other Qi devices -- can handle up to 15W of power" means the device is pretty much a Fail. It is MagSafe compatible not truly MagSafe. There are better options than this. 
    "The MagSafe Charger makes wireless charging a snap. The perfectly aligned magnets attach to your iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12, and iPhone 12 Pro and provide faster wireless charging up to 15W."

  • Homebrew project adds continuous glucose monitoring to the Apple Watch

    Please do an article on the DexcomG6 system. It is another continuous glucose monitoring system (GCMS) that has an Apple Watch “Complication."
    It works well with various watch faces
    I have personally used both systems and prefer the G6.
    Hopefully, there will be improvements to GCMS size, robustness and longevity going forward.

  • Which iPhone to buy: iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro compared

    “Photographers.”

    A bit grandiose.

    Or have we wasted our money on our Nikons and Canons, specialized lenses and filters?

    Should we sell them off on eBay?

    NO!

    Reminds me of my son's teacher calling first graders her "Little Mathematicians.” Give us a break. (Still, my kid became an architect.) 

    BTW
    10x Digital is not the same as 10x Optical.

    Get out of the Appleverse from time to time.

  • Apple could finally launch 'AirTags' in October

    I read about these tracking devices and have been interested them.I was expectantly waiting for Apple Tags but gave up and forgot about them. A family member tried a Tile and was enthused. I was amused. I saw their usefulness.

    I was soon gifted a small Tile set by said family member as a birthday present. I was impressed and soon bought more. Now I have them in my jackets, brief case, backpack, key ring, wallet, and luggage.

    They come in different sizes with some smaller slimmer and less conspicuous and others larger and louder.

    The software is set up to remind me that I left an item behind and where it was last "seen."
    Also I can see my i-devices in the Tile App as well.
    I can see room for improvement.

    I know the police have used the Find My iPhone feature to aid in finding stolen iPhones. A friend had this happen. Whether PD will use Tile or Tags in finding things or stolen remains to be seen.

    What is really nice is seeing that missing keys or whatever are in a known location and either are already safe or a phone call away to a friend, associate or business to secure the item.

    Having invested in and learned in Tile EcoSystem, I'll be better able to assess the functionality of the Apple Tags if they are ever released and whether to transition to them is likely to be worth while.

    If the Apple Tag will be able to transparently and and securely use the vast network of iPhones would be amazing; but, I have to admit I'm skeptical; even more so if the devices catch on just based on the volume of things.

  • Coding in education is tantamount to student success, Cook tells Trump

    LOL!

    Perhaps emphasizing coding was Cook’s code for Trump to cultivate patient, persistent, logical and insightful thinking.
