  • Apple looking to the past, working on how to put a Mac in a keyboard

    So, 1 key breaks and you have to take the whole computer in?
    Kinda like how many people do these days with a laptop? Not really that big a deal. I’ve seen a person or two at some point with their 27” iMac in the  store for repair so hauling a keyboard around isn’t much different. What about the Mac Mini, if something happens to it you’re taking “The whole computer” in for repair then as well.

  • Google Drive users stung by macOS '.DS_Store' copyright infringement issue

    Something like should not really happen. At what point was ".DS_Store" included as a copyrighted file? Someone had to have made that decision.
    Right.

  • Google says it's bringing Apple-like privacy features to Android

    And consumer access to view or change settings on these wonderful new Apple-like privacy features will be buried up to nine levels deep across forty different apps within the Android operating system...
    Yes and anyone that’s used Android for any time knows there is no central setting for (all) Apps. Don’t forget to chant the privacy settings for that App you use only once a month or so cause it’s still tracking everything you do.

  • Texas sues Meta over Facebook's past facial recognition practices

    This is the same Texas state government that has made drastic changes to voting laws to try and reduce the number of citizens that can successfully cast a vote in the state.
    Based on your inaccurate comment it doesn’t seem to me you live in Texas. I’ve lived in Texas for my 43 years and the government has never tried to reduce the amount of people that can vote. We actually have opened early voting for extended periods of time, more than most states by a lot, and the state allows anyone to cast a provisional ballot that if needed any government issued or even a school issued ID is sufficient. You cannot tell me that even thou you’re required to have an ID to lease an apartment or any housing but it’s not okay to require that same ID to cast a ballot for an election. You’ve been fed wrong information watching CNN and reading The Washington Compost

  • Apple VR could offer Memoji FaceTime, SharePlay experiences

    Going to be an exciting product for sure. The high price will leave me waiting to find a used one on eBay or somewhere similar, the same way I got the AirPods Max.
