  • Mac mini 'tower,' M2 Mac mini listed by B&H before WWDC [u]

    Does "Mac Mini tower" mean Mac-Mini Tower, or Mac Mini-Tower?  Could be either.

  • Satechi new USB-C Slim Dock is custom-made for the 24-inch iMac

    Interesting design.  Not sure I would have gone that route of creating a giant slab, but the port arrangement is good and the ability to use an NVMe SSD to increase your storage is great!

    All in all, for $120 (using discount), not bad.

    Does this mean multiple user accounts?
    Hope not….
    You hope not, why?  I understand if you don't want to use the feature, but with that said, how would having the ability of having multiple user accounts hurt you?

    As I read through the article, almost everything made no sense unless these people are absolutely clueless.  Who doesn't have alerts setup on CC accounts that notify you when charges are made?  Did they use "1111" as the PIN for the watch?  Did they ignore every best practice for keeping your information secure?  When does "theft" become negligence on the victim's part?

    Unlimited credit limit?  Sounds like they have more money than brains.  I know AMEX and most banks are very cautious of unusual activity.  Something is fishy.
    1111 isn't the only common PIN that people use, it wouldn't take long to try a lot of them as I don't think the Watch has a wipe after 10 tries. They do have a 1 minute wait after 5 incorrect attempts, but that means you can through 10 common passcodes in under 1.5 minutes.

    It's also possible that someone saw them put in a PIN on their Watch or iPhone previously. Regardless, the Watch with Wallet is a weak point in security so people need to take more precautions so these things are less likely to happen. (Note that I wrote less likely, not impossible—these things will still happen.)
    Who cares?  1111 or 1234 or 2468? Anyone who used easy guessable PIN's or patterns is asking for trouble.  Negligence was my point.  If you can guess it easy, you deserve whatever comes your way when you lose a device.
