  • Texas boy's 31 cheeseburger order demonstrates why you should secure your iPhone

    They story I saw said she was able to give them to families & neighbors.  They weren't wasted.

    I would've done the same after eating the first 27 or so..

    :)

    Cheers!

  • Ethical hackers prove having a Mac doesn't make you immune to cyberattacks

    There's a fun movie-intro with Robert Redford where he's paid to "hack" a bank.
    He physically breaks in at night, then hacks into the computers, creating fake accounts with $$$
    The next morning, in a suit, he goes in as a customer and closes the accounts.
    Teller asks politely why he's closing the accounts.
    "I didn't feel my $$$ was safe here", with a nice smile.
    Takes the briefcase upstairs in the bank to the board of directors conference room and opens it, with all the $$$.
    "You guys aren't that secure."

  • Compared: Apple Silicon M1 vs M1 Pro vs M1 Max vs M1 Ultra

    The base mac mini with M1 is enough for us.  We just need more storage for a large home-photos library.  

    We kept our 2009 iMac for over 10 years until it failed finally.

    My only worry with an M1 Mini (+16GB & 2TB SSD upgrade) is if 16GB would be enough 10 years from now (still simple use-case).

    Best guesses on when the base Mini gets any-Mx that can use 32GB?    Base Mx, 32GB, and 2TB would last us indefinitely.

    That new Studio......wow.   Very tempting if a chunk of $ comes our way....

    Cheers!

  • Future MacBook Pro rumored to have a folding screen, 'iPhone Fold' coming in 2025

    There was a folding phone on display in a big-box store near me.

    I picked up the folding phone (whatever it was).   There was already some screen failure in the fold, in the form of a small pixelated-green region instead of the background white.

    Granted those display-phones probably live a short and difficult life but C'Mon Man.   

    What's the purpose?  A rectangle that doesn't fit in my jeans-pocket, that folds into a square that doesn't fit in my jeans pocket.

    I agree with others here.   Don't get the business case at all.

    Enjoy the speculation of future-folding-everything though.  Lighten-up everybody.

    I want my future eye-glasses to fold one lens over the other and become a Zoom Monocle!

    Cheers!
