Greg Joswiak confirms iPhone's future move to USB-C
Ahem. You’re definitely making this a much bigger thing than it is. Those foreign entities and internal entities force their specifications on manufacturers all the time.lkrupp said:
This has nothing to do with devices, protocols, usb-c or any other technical issue. It’s about a foreign entity imposing its will upon an American company and forcing it to manufacture its products to their specifications. And those gloating over this will change their tunes when something better and more innovative comes along and can’t be implemented until that foreign entity gives the okay, which could take years of bureaucrats ‘studying' the issue.nadriel said:This should’ve happened years ago! Since Apple obviously haven’t cared about improving lighting, except some small incremental changes they did.
The current devices or protocols aren’t even close to max usbc has to offer.
Granted the switch will be painful for some. Or not really, my lightning gadgets won’t become obsolete or stop working when their usbc counterparts come out. I’ll either sell them or use them until they become inoperable.
People really need to step back and take a chill pill here. This is - will be an upgrade, win win.
ANSI, ISO, JIS, FCC, ECC and so on. What radio frequencies cellular devices use, how they manufacture batteries, what plastics and materials can be used in foodstuffs. Lead paint, environmental standards, safety standards on arsenic usage etc.Now, this is only a port standardization for similar devices. This is a good thing. There is a provision on this law that takes into account future ports and the bureaucrats don’t make the decision in a vacuum. There will be lobbying from the industry.
This is in no means the death of innovation. Not for ports, like the standards for radio equipment was not for Wi-Fi, cellular and so on.And heck yea I’m going to gloat over this. This should’ve happened across all Apple devices with the MacBooks 7 years ago.

Apple Store workers are starting to unionize, citing stagnating wages
I'm all for people on lower end unionising to gain leverage in discussions. Having a decent wage keeps a worker more motivated to do their job too. I guess it's store managers that get the 30$ or more and basic seller gets the minimum.I like my job and what I do, but if my compensation lags and leaves me unsatisfied that it covers my efforts I'd start looking for better options. Taking care of workers just makes them more loyal.
That being said, unionising is not necessarily a trouble-free option.
PS: the mathematician in me cringes every time the short million system is used. It's billiard $ not trillion $.

Kanye West won't release 'Donda 2' on 'oppressive' Apple Music or Spotify
Oppressive yeah, like having fans waiting 2 hours for nothing and getting no consequences for not failing to keep up deadlines. I guess the 200$ device is actually like a 20$ device. This all feels like his T-shirts.Not a fan, don't listen to his music nor really follow him, but he gets on news way too often due to his ridiculousness.
