  • Apple will reopen 100 US stores this week

    How many folks have died from the Flu this year? That’s gonna be VERY interesting information once it’s released next year. Apple needs to do the right thing and open its doors. Let the population decide whether to take the chance or not. I’ve been working since the beginning and absolutely nobody here in Conroe, TX at my place of business has had any issues with COVID-19. Good new Apple, thank you. I also see the 2nd most stores in any state opening here in Texas. Not looking to buy anything anytime soon but I’m glad stores and businesses are able to provide jobs to my fellow Texans.

  • Ad review panel tells AT&T to stop using 'misleading' 5G Evolution claims

    It’s either comply or be labeled as the only carrier actually misleading and/or completely lying to their customers.

    For a mid-range 4K TV in 2020, it should probably be a 'Con' to have an edge-lit screen.
    They’ve reported this as a budget, entry level TV, not a mid-range TV

  • Apple sued over 2016 MacBook Pro 'stage lighting' issue

    Okay... a part failure out of warranty is kinda just that. I wonder how much effort was put into actually contacting Support and politely asking to get this covered, because in my experience it's not that hard to get Apple to either fix stuff for free or at least at their "flat rate" price which traditionally has been around $300 for 15" MBPs and covers everything — in my case once I basically got a new Mac back based on the number of parts replaced, including the display which had some discoloration, when it was brought in for completely separate reasons — which is totally reasonable given it was several years out of warranty.
    I’ve had great experiences with Apple replacing things under warranty that were obviously not under warranty. My son dropped his 2017 MacBook, casing was bent, battery was damaged and needed to be replaced as it wouldn’t startup without being plugged in. The rep called it a warranty fix awaiting what the remote repair facility determined. I got a call 3 days later saying my MacBook was ready for pickup, no charge whatsoever and they replaced the damaged aluminum casing along with the battery and keyboard due to that being part of the battery. The repair sheet had a quote of over $500 BTW.

    I don't know how the tech press keeps getting away with such ridiculous assertions but they do. It's like people who think we have a functional public health system. Our system is the most expensive with the least basic coverage system among any industrialized nation. Our spending is off-the-charts, highly unequal, and millions of people are just beginning to learn the enormous disaster that tying health insurance to a job represents. But you know, just like the tech press, people want to live in an alternative universe, facts be damned. 
    The Tech press and every other press for that matter keep reporting misleading information. It’s ridiculous how they can all get away with such lies and propaganda.
