  • EU interoperability spat shows Apple and Meta will never agree about privacy

    I definitely have fears that the EU's desire for interoperability will hurt users ability to choose and greatly reduce privacy. Also increase the chances of users data being exposed by exploits of companies that do not value data privacy. 
    These bureaucrats are already rich. The don’t care about common people’s privacy or data mining. In fact, I would suspect that they even believe that they are doing these poor people a favour by enabling them access  to cheap products that they can afford by substituting the affordability with privacy

  • BBC cries foul over Apple Intelligence headline notification summarizations

    ForumPostForumPost
    BBC complaining about the fake news headline when they are in the habit of producing the same thing themselves? Good thing I don’t fund them anymore.

    Movies are dying and I think that’s fine. High quality streaming series are far better than movies. 

    Take the best movie you can think of and it would have been better as a streaming series. For example, the godfather — great two movies that would have been even better as streaming series.
    The kind of series that I would watch all
    in one go rather than waiting on a weekly basis. Sometimes I would watch the first 10
    mins of the next episode before I finish  watching the current one 😉

  • Power press: Fixes for Apple's oddly-placed Mac mini button

    ForumPostForumPost
    I think AppleInsider staff have to be the biggest fans of the power button moving to the bottom. How many articles can one website write about this? We are at least five by my count. Gotta keep those clicks going.

  • YouTuber shows off hardware hack to replace soldered MacBook storage

    Obviously, one does this after warranty is expired.    The old SSD chips need to be removed and the PCB SSD adapter soldered on.   THEN one snaps in the new SSD. 

    These  SSD chips are still not very cheap, and all desoldering involves risk.   From what I’ve seen, a good TB4 SSD is still plenty fast to run externally without any noticeable decrease in Max performance even for fairly heavy video users.   

    The labor to pay someone to install the upgrade AND THEN paying for the upgrade card can’t possibly be cheaper than electing to just pay more up front.   It only works out years down the road.   

    However, it’s nice to see people figuring these things out.  It gives people options.  Even if those people are few and far between.  
    It just shows that Apple can make it possible for end users  to upgrade the ssd themselves if Apple made the ssd swappable as shown in the video. Just solder the base connector but leave the slots accessible
