  • How to use the new Attachments Browser in Notes for macOS

    Alex_VAlex_V
    Good points. 

    Notes app is ever improving and has become essential to keep track of my work and interests. Its implementation of hashtags has been a masterstroke. On my 2019 iMac, I’ve noticed that when I paste a photo or something into a long note, it will scroll uncontrollably upwards. So that I must scroll down to find my place. I really ought to report that bug.

  • Apple's Lisa Jackson says environmental regulation is essential

    Alex_VAlex_V
    Where do you champions of the little man get this b.s. idea that regulations “always favour big business”? It is patently not so. Much regulation is designed to reign in monopolies, i.e. favour small over big. Other, notable, forms of regulation are intended to reduce harms or bads, e.g. worker rights, health and safety, and pollution reduction, with greater consequences on the big offenders. Other regulations might be applied to attain specific economic or geo-political outcomes, such as the Inflation Reduction Act hopes to, same thing, big companies will find it harder to adapt, etc. etc.

  • Samsung is now ripping off Apple design in a painfully awkward ad

    To top it off [Samsung] then simply licence Google’s OS, which incidentally is a copy of IOS but which presents all manner of security compromises for users. Yep, they do think different to Apple, hahaha.
    FYI: As far as I know, Samsung do not pay Google to license their Android spyware on Samsung phones, as Google made their software, free and open source. Which is like a dictatorial regime installing free and open source hidden mics and cameras in the suites of the nation’s hotels.

    Samsung is thinking differently from Apple. Samsung believes that you can produce a sophisticated smartphone without developing the OS yourself. Apple would never dream of doing that. Samsung thinks that it’s okay to hand over all their users — who paid good money for those phones — to another company to install its spyware to spy on absolutely everything that they do. The idea would horrify Apple.

  • Pregnant cardiologist says Apple Watch saved her and her baby

    Alex_VAlex_V
    It took my Apple Watch throwing an alert while I was sitting there watching TV to draw my attention to my heart rate. I watched it for about 30 minutes to see if there was any change. When it remained elevated and began climbing, I knew I had to go the hospital to find out what was going on. A few days later, I needed an emergency ablation to stop the high rate. At one point, my heart was beating so much it was causing my body to vibrate! Yet I didn't feel it unless I really focused on it.

    Even doctors can miss what is going on in their own body. They are human, too.

    Incredible!  Thank goodness for your Apple Watch! We are indeed fortunate to get your perspective. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
