Hidden AirTags crucial in Singapore recycling failure investigation
Except that if you go and read the more detailed original article you’ll find out that only a small number of shoes made it to resale. The rest ended up being trashed.ChristophV said:How stupid is this? The best way of recycling is continuing to use the product. I would not care if in The neighborhood or another country, if „stolen“, for free or sold (after all it takes work to sort, clean, repair and transport.
i hope they continue and even widen the approach of using rather than dissecting.
The main “failure“ is to call continued use a „failure“ in recycling.
so yeah, reduce, reuse, recycle, in that order is better. But sadly that didn’t happen here.

We have second hand stores that sell used clothes and shoes here in Toronto, Canada. As long as these used shoes don’t end up in landfills is a plus.

Many Apple online services experienced extended outage [u]
These outages seem to be occurring more and more often (or maybe it just seems like it because of greater visibility into them).

Apple making the case that Apple Silicon Mac & iPhone are great gaming machines
Agreed on all of the above! Sadly I don’t see Apple doing any of this. They’ll pay lip service to gaming without doing what’s actually needed to make the Apple ecosystem a serious gaming environment.entropys said:If Apple was actually serious about gaming it would set up its own studio and buy a killer game, make it apple silicon exclusive, then start writing follow ups itself, all written and operating natively in metal. Exactly same strategy as Microsoft did with the originally Mac OS developed Halo to get people to buy Xbox.
I would regard that as just as important as the Linux approach suggested by Mr Snively.Apple would probably also need to have Apple silicon able to do ray tracing.

Netflix says strict new password sharing rules were posted in error
Well-said! Agree 100% on all of this!AppleZulu said:The practice of charging a premium for screen resolution is outdated. The fact that that is packaged with the only real multiple-user option is ultimately what's causing Netflix their problems. Most new TVs are 4K UHD devices. A major content provider shouldn't be charging a premium just to get full-resolution content for a 'normal' TV.
So given the obnoxiousness of paying extra just to get the full- technical quality content considered routine by every other streaming provider, it adds insult to injury that they want to restrict who can use the three extra streams included in the package-deal subscription price.
Netflix could solve their problems by including 4K UHD at all levels, and price their subscription tiers purely based on number of simultaneous streams allowed, without regard to where those streams are accessed.
What will it cost them in labor and operational expenses, along with public ill-will, just for them to police who gets to use the extra streams in the 4K UHD tier? Why should it matter whether it's someone in the same physical house, a kid at college, a mother-in-law down the road, or a sub-let to a friend who wants to split the cost?
