  • Intel takes aim at Apple, instead shoots itself in the dongle

    I hope it wakes the morons at Apple up.
    My 2020 Mac Book pro barely qualifies as pro.
    A "pro computer" that I need a dongle to hook up to an external projector, monitor or ethernet.
    A pro computer that ditched the brilliant mag safe power cable.
    A pro computer than no longer allows me to stick an SD card in it.
    A pro computer that requires a dongle to connect a USB A jump drive- the industry standard way of walking files.

    And- they gouge me on the price of RAM, Storage by 3 to 10x what everyone else charges.
    With no user replaceable parts- and barely serviceable.

    And that was my Intel machine.
    Now- my M1 MacMini- can't connect to my Drobo- which is a 72 TB paperweight.
    Gee - thanks Apple.
    Just curious- do you not research your purchases based on your workflow and needs? Pretty sure all those limitations to your current workflow weren’t surprises.

  • New Apple Watch Series 6 ads highlight Apple's Health features

    These ads are a little creepy in my opinion. Love my watch though and it’s health tracking is a huge reason why.

  • MagSafe Duo Charger limited to 11W with 20W adapter

    Sorta off topic but can someone point me somewhere that can educate me on charging options for iPhone 12?  Seems that charging has gotten to be overly complicated and I just want to understand what accessories maximize or limit charging before purchasing.  Just want to make sure I make an educated purchase when and if I upgrade my current charging options.  I'm pretty tech savvy but damn charging profiles optimized for various devices is complicated.  Thanks in advance!

    The blue and orange spheres are a nod to the Harvest Moon and Blue Moon. Both happening this month.
