Tim Cook calls WWDC 23 'our best ever' ahead of highly anticipated keynote
dewme said:I really admire Tim Cook, but I think he says these same exact words at every keynote and product announcement.I suppose if it wasn’t true he wouldn’t keep repeating it. Tim’s gotta be Tim. -

'Max' streaming service combines HBO Max & Discovery+, launches May 23
StrangeDays said:$20 a month for 4K? Yeah F you too, dudes.
I read their NYT article explaining their rational in dropping “HBO” from the brand name and adding tons of crappy reality TV:

…they feel their audience is too limited due to be associated with high-quality programming. Insane. It’s like BMW saying they’d sell more cars if they made cheaper, crummier vehicles and then advertising that they not all about premium vehicles. Well, yeah. But that isn’t why your customers sought you out. That isn’t your brand.
Pandering to Wall Street customer growth numbers by execs with no vision. I won’t be renewing after my previous annual promo expires. -

Certain elements in the Legislature and right wing media are sure to make hay out of it. But if you ask me, good business ties with China are super important, even in the face of recent geopolitical events. China will to be less inclined to damage their best customer.
— gave them Ukraine’s nukes
— gave them the USSR spot on the security council
— shut down our own rocket engine manufacturing and made our rockets dependent on their engines
— made them key partners in the ISS
— let them genocide Chechnya
— let them conquer Georgia and Moldova and Crimea
— gave them Big Macs and iPhones
Of course not. Dictators can’t stop themselves from attacking us. We need to be ready. Apple is making us dependent rather than ready.
The US is very young compared to Asian countries, particularly China. Unfortunately, because they are the current "world leader", that has gone to their heads, and no other country can be as great. That's the illusion right there. World powers come and go, and have for eons. The US will lose their dominance eventually. And we can only hope that the next world power will be democratic. and more mature and advanced than the current US leadership and population.Banning books? You mean the books with pornographic content in the libraries of schoolchildren? And you think that’s bad? Parents across the country are confronting school boards over this. It’s everywhere. That’s not making books illegal. It’s getting them out of inappropriate places where impressionable kids can get into it and back to where adults can choose to read it or not.Wow.A stove or air conditioner can’t corrupt a child. Adult content can. It doesn’t belong in public schools.And the air conditioner thing was reported on today. Coming from the executive branch. Federally. Not a small segment.And that’s more attention than our military strength and growth is getting and more than our economy is getting. That’s not rhetoric. It’s the way it is. -
Microsoft makes Outlook for Mac free

The article incorrectly infers Outlook for Mac only works with IMAP accounts, which isn't true since it works with Exchange/365 accounts.
Rose-tinted glasses. There have always been myriad bugs in all versions of Mac OS/OS X/macOS. I don't have any major issues right now outside of a few built-in apps.Oh, like macOS? Remember back in good ol' days when macOS was lean and stable, but at the same time, feature-poor and not supporting the newest hardware compared to Windows? Then, Apple starts adding features and brining macOS into the current century and it's bloated and buggy. Each new version is worse than the last.
You can assume it's included, but again, the article infers it's not.
