  • MacBook Air update arrives with lower starting price & M4 performance boost

     Once again Apple teases with a low price for a crippled SSD of 256GB.  Apple is such a fraud when it comes to their environmentally preaching since they install small SSD that makes their device obsolete too soon and thus enters the landfill.  How is that good for the environment?  
    Oh no! Don’t say this outloud, you’ll tempt them to bring back 128GB!

  • New hack breaks open Apple's USB-C security

    My usb-c port is usually filled with pocket lint and bubblegum as a security precaution. Isn’t everybody’s?

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook personally invested $1 million in Trump's inauguration

    I think there’s no way this kind of post doesn’t drift off topic like this, but the story seems like this is an interesting approach by Tim Cook, who recognizes the pressure to participate in this action competitively, but also recognizes the tension with corporate governance, and appears to be trying to insulate Apple from inappropriate corporate governance, but also recognize his personal role in having the connections in relationships to look out for Apple’s best interest. Now, of course there are many underlying currents, tributaries, rapids, and waterfalls, but I think the real story is whether this demonstrates character of corporate leadership and whether this is the right way to go about an exercise like this. Personally I am unbuckled at what’s being brought in here for inauguration sponsorship and envious that I can’t get this type of corporate sponsorship for our low income community Non-profit work. But once again a tangent.

  • iPhone 16 Pro users face random freezes and repeated restarts

    Agreed with CarPlay - similar random issues with a high end new alpine deck. 

    Several different apps randomly lock up in the interface during extended use but come back after often long intervals in background. One is a fitness app with watch app synchronization and if I make an entry in the watch app the phone app will unfreeze. No unexpected reboots though. 

    My only other complaint is top left corner back buttons sometimes seem less responsive like the recognition area is smaller. I did select the medium font size when migrating rather than smallest, sometimes wonder if that’s associated.

  • Midea 2 Zone Air Fryer review: great air fryer, abysmal app, and lots of sticker shock

    That was a great review - thanks. Not necessarily the most Apple alignment, but as product reviews go great job.
