Mac keyboard showdown: Apple versus chiclet versus mechanical
Got a Logitech MX Keys for Mac about six months ago. I like it much better than the Magic Keyboard. Actually my SO liked it too and stole mine, so five months ago I had to get a second one.
They're both working well. We work from home and are on them all day and they haven't missed a beat. I like the typing feel better. I like that they keyboard itself has some heft to it and feels more solid. I like the way the letters on the keys don't immediately start wearing off like they've done for a series of Magic Keyboards we've owned.
My only complaint would be that paring them with the Mac has been quite finicky. They are supposed to work with the Mac's bluetooth, but if that's not available they include a USB device to connect through. I had trouble with them thinking the USB thing was plugged in, but it wasn't so it would not connect to BT, but if I plugged the thing in it would insist it was on BT already. With each of therm it was far harder to connect the first time than it needed to be, taking ~10 minutes. But once each of them were connected they've been very solid from then on. -

Volkswagen CEO isn't sure that Apple wants to build cars
I’ve thought the same for a while now. It’s one thing to produce a system that is used in other people’s cars, and making the whole thing yourself. The latter involves setting up a dealer network, service and support systems, dealing with warranty claims and more. The current network of AppleStores would simply not work at all for this. Apple would have to build a new car dealership network from scratch. Apple has experience designing software. It’s another story with seats, air bag systems, wheel bearings, door locks, and all the rest of the stuff that goes into a car.
Why reinvent the wheel, when they can make something to go on other people’s products. Far less hassle and far more money to be made in the latter.
