    Has Apple been able to patch Pegasus? 

    Apple should bring all manufacturing back to America.  If you want to control the ecosystem tight.  This international nonsense must come to an end.

    That won't change anything. The hackings happen because of software weaknesses and the software is US-designed.

    Most of the time yes, but there are hardware exploits and bugs. You’d be surprised how many issues there are in port standards such as USB and lightning, or sometimes even CPU design issues. 
    But yeah, I suspect the majority of the exploits here are software.

  • iOS 17 rumored to turn an iPhone lock screen into a smart home display

    I’m extremely frustrated with HomeKit. All the devices that support it are way more expensive due to license fees and many manufacturers leave out HomeKit because of it.
    Hopefully Matter will… matter… to create a more
    mature ecosystem. 

    I’m also surprised editing HomeKit scenes and automations is still so much hassle.

    This “display widgets when horizontally” makes sense but Android has had it for years now so it’s more a matter of playing catch-up.

  • You wont be able to get Facebook Messenger on Apple Watch soon

    Just another reason to not use Facebook Messanger.  In fact, just another good reason to get away from Facebook altogether!!!
    Your dislike or petition to move away from Messenger is irrelevant. It is a very popular app and now no longer available on the watch. 
    This makes the watch less and less usable as a standalone device.

    Is anyone really deciding their OS based on the chips, though? If you love Mac OS why on Earth would you settle for Windows just because the chips were closer performing? I'm sure it makes sense to the chipmakers but it's a non-starter for most actual end users. 
    It does make a difference even if people don't realize it.

    For example, I know people that switched to Windows during the later PowerPC Mac days because Macs were no longer within a reasonable lag that it was hurting production. Even if macOS (nee Mac OS and Mac OS X) can save you money by being more efficient and even if you've already purchased cross platform apps or even if you have to learn a different one there is a point at which it simply makes sense to not stick with a system whose HW performance isn't good enough.

    This is true. I’m actually considering moving back to Windows after more than a decade Mac. The reason is that I’m now doing a lot of AI related research for the company and many, if not all, requires CUDA (Nvidia) without the option to re-compile to leverage Metal. 
    Many people aren’t aware, but Nvidia is really a front-runner in that field and they’ve created strong ties between their R&D + software products to their hardware. I can no longer get around that.
