  • Time Machine backups causing issues for some Apple Silicon Mac users

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    Why aren't they retiring this antique approach to back-ups? I mean, they now have a filesystem that supports snapshots, but Time Machine still uses the legacy pre-APFS approach and has been proven to be incredibly inefficient compared to third-party solutions.
    I know Apple is focusing on services so they actually rather want us to back-up on their cloud VS locally, so why aren't they just EOL'ing this thing altogether, and instead support third-party developers in providing a back-up solution?

    And who in their right mind is still "travelling back in time" by traversing through Finder or app time instances (the latter only working with a few 1st-part apps) in 2021? I mean, the Steve Jobs-era visualisation of using Z-depth for time is novel, but hardly practical.

  • Apple made secret 5-year $275B deal with Chinese government

    Go figure. Apple. That's why CCP leaves Apple alone vs. other U.S. companies. To do business in Asia, all you have to do is bribe to get your place secured.

    So where's the bribe?  This was a smart business deal that both sides benefited from.
    it is a 'legal bribe'. It is. And it's true, to win in China you need connections and deals like these. It's not 'honest' competition.

  • Tile says AirTags helped its business, still says Apple is 'unfair'

    When other company will stop point the finger to apple for everything? apple is free to do anything they want with all their products!!if i have my own product i will care for it!!why tile doesn't make some of their product with bactery replaceble??because in few year when you run out of battery you must buy a new one!!!sooo you see??stop blaiming apple for all they do...its only business!!
    When will Apple fans stop pointing the finger to dozens of companies around the world expressing their concerns towards monopolist tech companies?
    When will trolls stop coming to Apple rumor sites and stop using the monopolistic crap? Once you can tell us all what Apple actually has a monopoly in, report back. Have you gone say to a spotify rumor page and complained about their monopoly on streaming music and I think have over taken Apple in the podcast segment as well? No? Well why not?
    So to you a ‘troll’ constitutes someone with another opinion than yours? 
    I have commented on this with several arguments in threads before so I am not going repeat myself because it adds no value. My comment here was to demonstrate that there is another side to the debate, whether you like it or not.

    Spotify is not a monopolist for several reasons. It’s a poor comparison. If you want to have that debate, fine, but it is a completely different conversation because it is not a platform holder, and there are far more players out there. In fact, Apple is abusing their power with Apple Music as well - another example of abuse of monopolist behavior. And that’s coming from someone who uses Apple products every day and likes them.

    I don’t want to engage in a debate with you anyway; you have set up your mind to defend Apple at all costs with a zero-tolerance mind-set and no one will be able to even change your mind the slightest bit, considering your post history and the way you responded to my comment.

    Well business is up because Tile is a far better product! Apple fan since the 80’s i rushed to the airtags only to find that if I want to stick it to my bicycle i need a third party add on, if i want to put it with my keys a need to drill a hole in it but what is very limiting is that you can have only 16. Why? Why is that? I have bags, car, bike, kids backpack, umbrellas etc. why limit it? And why 16? Not 31? Or 43? Or 9 and a half? And you cannot share it so
    my son has an air tag in his school pack but I cannot see it and look for it when in the morning we are rushing out and everyone is late. So, all back to Tiles! Waiting for Apple, as usual, to do a better and improved v2…
    Agreed. I bought 4 Apple Tags but strongly prefer Tile.
