• Hold down both the volume up and side buttons at the same time for a few seconds.

Seems like a great way to take a screen shot but certainly won’t help you power off the phone.

You really found it easier to head straight to looking as a fool instead of trying it first?

If decentralised solutions can't get any traction at all without active support from Apple they're not much of a solution to anything.

What's happening here is that instead of innovating themselves towards something functional they rather think that they already have the greatest thing ever, but are being persecuted by a society keeping them from liberating the people. (And that's about the honest ones; the rest just want to make easy money from fools believing the hype of cryptocurrencies or are paranoid and don't trust "money".)

Aaand… on a more technical note: These decentralised apps are a huge failure because everything about using them is a convoluted mess as far as the average consumer is concerned, so what those skimming money of cryptotransactions wants to do is to crack the App Store open such that they can provide the "decentralised" apps in a format that is basically that they run their own appstore within their own app, which they still want Apple to host for them.

That's not just about the money, but about the (lack of) usability and security for the Apple customer.

I absolutely support the work towards more decentralised solutions; but that doesn't mean that anyone yelling about decentralisation is owed a payday by existing traditional businesses.

Yup. When Apple patented the wraparound screen, Samsung (again) crapped out a product to beat them to market, It was called the Galaxy Edge and had no reason to exist. Meanwhile Apple used the tech for iPhones, Apple Watch and I believe Apple Park.
...
Really shows you the difference between the critical inventor and the sloppy copycat.

Fact check:

• 8th of January 2013: Samsung shows Youm concept which was the basis for Note Edge at CES 2013 (8th to 11th of January 2913). That device looks pretty similar o Note Edge.
• February 2013: the first time Apple reveals patents for wraparound displays

Hm, who copied from whom?

Reality check: Patents often take years going through the process before revealed.

Apple filed their wraparound display patent in 2011: https://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2013/03/stunning-future-iphone-with-wraparound-display-revealed.html

The article doesn't provide enough specifics.  For example, I have a mid-2015 15" MBP with Apple 1TB SSD and I get 2057MB WRITE & 2815MB READ.  What would something like the WD Black give me for the same 1TB size?

Obviously, if I ever upgrade my SSD, it's foolish to get a 1TB.  2TB or larger would make logical sense.  But again, the benchmarks are lacking!  Please provide more info, AppleInsider!

Silly AI writing an article about upgrading computers with too small to function SSDs when the whole thing should have been about your computer without a too small SSD, and about whether or not you personally would see a speed bump or not. Sometimes it's like they don't even realise that their target demographic is you, right?!

Seriously, this is an article that fits great with students heading back to schools; with many of them in need of a "new" computer simply to have a functioning computer. Complaining about how it doesn't include benchmark data for the already functioning maxed out configurations from yesteryears gives of a bad feeling of being out of touch with reality; like, let the broke kids be the focus when your particular situation could be googled in like three minutes, ok?

These companies have not learned anything, why build housing, in the US no one cares if the people working in a manufacturing plant live in substandard housing. Companies in the US learned along time to stop building company towns.

Talking about learning; show us what you've got yourself… Where do you think the workers will come from if the factories don't make sure there's anywhere for them to stay?

And please go into some details here. You know; stuff like how their salaries are perceived when they go to the local bank for a loan to buy an apartment, what the renting situation is like, as well as the availability of land if they decide to build (or park a trailer). Please also add a bit about the public transportation for to commute to work; and maybe you could also add a bit about stores, buying groceries, and how that fits within the salary?

The same way worker in the US find their way to work, it is call transportation, and yes these countries have transportation. The average person can ride their moped to work. Of they ride share, I been to third world countries and visited these factories and the people find ways to get to work. Look what Silicon Valley has done companies now run buses all over the place to get to people to work. These company do not need to set up companies towns to house workers. The only reason to do it to to control the employee so they have to spend 90% of their wages to cover room and board and everything else the company town charges these people to stay there. 

If the people who complain about workers standard of living, really cared they would start in the US, where people who work in similar factory live in substandard housing, How many people do you see complaining about that to the company and the consumer buying those products. They can complain to the Government and they do and the governments does not care since people have choices, so their living conditions most times are their own choosing.

My point is simple, these Asian companies if they want US companies to source product from them they have to stop the companies towns, it does not fly well with the complainers.

You're out of touch with reality; you might have been to these places, but it sounds like you don't even understand how it is for these people even on your local market.

And on top of that the factory in Bac Giang has been recruiting since early this year, fighting hard to compensate for the shutdown of the factory in China (due to corona); which is something that few regions can just handle, unless they started out with an overcapacity to handle people there's no simple upscaling for a city to handle a new/expanding factory. Which included housing, transportation, roads, etc. Not to mention that your idea of everyone just buying mopeds isn't exactly realistic; they can easily cost the first 1-2 months of salaries, which is something that most people desperate for a job can't handle.
