  • Man sues Apple for iPhone 6 battery explosion caused by alleged defect

    He bought the iPhone 6 in 2018? Probably not new or referb. Considering how rare battery explosions are rare, I don’t see class action.

  • Magic Keyboard won't 'precisely fit' new 12.9-inch iPad Pro but still works, says Apple

    It irritates me how Apple changes the hardware of their iconic designs by 1cm or whatever causing millions of accessories to become obsolete. Apple should standardize Apple products.

    For example

    All iPads are the same size
    All iPad Minis are the same size
    All iPad Pro are the same size
    All large iPad Pro are the same size.

    Same for iPhones, Watch, Macs etc.

    Of course nothing would be perfect but it seems Apple does this sh** on purpose.
    All phones the same size?

  • ElevationLab 'TagVault' keeps your AirTag hidden in plain sight

    I can see someone complaining that they cannot find their keys because the keys are at the bottom of a lake. You cannot get the radio waves to go through the water.
    Well not the ones that Apple is using right now, but if they started using a form of sonar like animals use, then maybe. 
    How are you going to fit sonar of any type in a tag? The small size of tags limits you to higher frequencies.

  • Intel Windows not coming to M1 VMware Fusion, ARM Windows licensing unclear

    If you need to run Windows then buy a Windows PC.
    Sounds simple to you, doesn’t it? Thing is, I don’t want to have TWO computers to maintain.

    Unfortunately, gaming on Macs is nowhere near the level of gaming on Windows. It used to be that we could have a Mac for both Mac OS and Windows. That was cool. The setup didn’t need to be 100% equal to a Windows PC in performance, just be comparable.

    Sadly, there hasn’t been a suitable desktop Mac in almost a decade (GPU, heat, etc). Now Apple is moving away from Macs even being able to run intel Windows software at all. Result: own two computers again (consoles can bite my shiny metal ass).

    It would be nice if Apple at least sold a standalone display [for an affordable headless workstation-class desktop], so that when I finally can buy a new gaming PC (GPU shortages & pricing are insane), I don’t ALSO need to have TWO displays on my already-crowded desk. Guess I need to find a usable USB KVM switch, soon. Most affordable KVM switches I’ve seen are trash and the well-built ones are rarely happy to work cross-platform & USB.
    I'm pretty sure the Pro desktops would of been fine desktop and more affordable than that is the M1s, which brought a lot of GPU with little heat generated. Also the ARM version of Windows can run Intel Windows software on the ASi Macs with Parallels.

    I've never heard of any problems with cross platform KVMs. You are switching video, audio and USB.
