    Apple should just buy Rivian. 
    The EV market is crumbling. 
    Which, may be the factor that led to the decision to drop the Apple Car. I am sure Apple would have been aware of that EV collapse and so avoided the Apple Crumble.

  • New iPad Air review roundup: Screen and Apple Pencil Pro are standouts

    meterestnzmeterestnz
    Nobody reviewing this release even considers the possibility of AI advances at WDC making the Pro a better choice in every aspect. Am I alone in thinking that, in spite of the increased cost, the iPad Pro large screen model is the most versatile going forward?

    I don’t have an iPad. I’m running a 2016 MBP 13 inch with only 256 ssd. I took a gamble on the ability to use an external drive to bolster the mega internal drive as in its first and only sale of Apple products in NZ, Harvey Norman had run it of stock of every other model. I was mistaken and it was a pain point every day of the last eight years. Even with an iCloud account to extend storage it was never enough. I’ve been using Mac since Mac 512 so should have known better. 

    I have been waiting over five years for the iPad OS to run all my main Apps, Banktivity was the holdout, but OmniFocus 4, Devon Apps, and drawing Apps etc never, until recently seemed to be quite ready for the full switch. Now seems to be the sweet spot before I start dribbling on the screen. In NZ the model I desire will set me back between 4 to $5000; a lot of missed Latte’s, LOL. 

    Is AI going to be the deciding factor?

  • EU tells Apple to open everything up to its rivals

    If you think this is bad you need to look at the new UK legislation passed in the last few days that compels all apps to open user data to the Government. It is being pushed worldwide.

  • New Twitter CEO to start in six weeks, says Elon Musk

    meterestnzmeterestnz
    Hum, I’m not a Titter user, unless I’m following a link from elsewhere. But, it seems to me Musk is the only social media CEO who is not manipulating and attempting to control public opinion. That to me as a plus. I get that the so called left does not like him at all.

  • Keychain, LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane, Nordpass: Keep your passwords safe

    I have switched from 1Password to Secrets. I find Secrets just as good and got me away from a subscription
