  • Thousands of apps violate US child privacy law

    Active or abandoned apps? Here is another example of developers not doing what is best for the user. Yet developers want unrestricted access and in some cases their own app stores.

  • iPhone 15 Pro rumored to get Thunderbolt connectivity

    Anyone know what the USB-C bandwidth speeds of Android phones are?

  • iPhone 15 Pro rumored to get Thunderbolt connectivity

    The silliest notion is Apple moving to USB-C means that every device will transmit at full USB-C speeds. I think higher speeds will also depend upon how much storage the phone uses. The pros who do video need higher speeds. I’m surprised they haven’t complained about the slow speeds more. Regular people are fine with the USB-2 or WiFi speeds. I can’t remember the last time I plugged my phone in to the computer.

  • Apple plans to expand AirDrop time limit to customers worldwide

    I think this article needs more information on why this is being done and how it affects things. It isn’t just for the children or because of China said so. There is whole planes of people getting unwanted porn photos sent to them. I have mine sent to contacts only just because of these stories. 

    You make think or joke it is for the children but sending unwanted porn photos is sexual harassment.

  • New Plugable USB-C dock supports four external displays on M1 Macs

    I would prefer the inverse: a device that would allow me to connect several M1 Macs to a single display.
    Get a video switch or kvm if you need to switch mouse and keyboard also. It is done all the time. Not sure about thunderbolt or usb-c switching. I had a hmdi switch but got tired of switching between keyboard and mouse. I just have a two port kvm to switch hmdi, Apple keyboard and Apple trackpad between m1 Mac mini and Intel Mac mini running Linux. I find I have to awaken the monitor on the intel side if I going to use Linux, otherwise the video is messed up. The m1 mini doesn’t care.
