    Sounds like an ill-timed, but productive visit. 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.
    Lol. Do you think Russia is less inclined to damage us after we
    — 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. 
    Wow! All Russia's fault. US is the victim. Hate Russia, LOL.

    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.
    True only when it’s allowed to happen. Strangely, our government is now more concerned with gas stoves and air conditioners than they are with innovation, marketplace excellence and military superiority. Recipe for disaster. 
    It’s really only a certain segment obsessed with gas stoves.  Hint: it’s the same segment who are banning books.  Maybe you need to take a break from that rhetoric.  It’ll do your heart good.  
    There is no rhetoric coming from me. 

    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. 
    Interested in what your definition of pornography is?  Did you hear about the headmaster of an Arts school in Florida that was fired this week because she introduced Michelangelo's statue of David to  a sixth grade class and 3 parents out of 100 complained?  3% now wield the power.  Nudity isn't porn.

  • 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.
    No, you just read it wrong. "includes support for Outlook.com accounts, Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, and other email providers that support IMAP" — that's a list of different things.

    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.
    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.
    I didn't read it wrong.  The article states nowhere that Exchange support is included in the free version.  It does list what it does support, and Exchange is not in the list.

    You can assume it's included, but again, the article infers it's not.

  • Tesla beat Apple to an AirPower-like multi-device charger

    Yet another expensive piece of junk from Tesla, guaranteed to stop working, if you can get it to work at all.
    You really have a hard on for Elon don’t you .
    I don't own a Tesla car, but our neighbor across the street had 2 (not at the same time) and Tesla repair truck was at their house more frequently than I would expect for a new car.  My Hyundai has been flawless, never to a repair shop in 6 years (knock on wood).

  • TikToking Apple employee fired over medical leave, not videos

    Unless she was under contract, Apple can terminate her at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all.
    If she was under contract, it's certain that HR ran her termination by Legal, and they cleared it. If she sues, she will fail. Or bankrupt herself trying to combat Apple's $2,000/hr lawyers. Best she can hope for is a lowball settlement.
    Not true.  There are protections in place for employees.  You can't fire a pregnant woman because she's taking time off related to her pregnancy, for example.
    (Well, you could fire her, but you'd lose in court and the pregnant woman would become very rich).

  • Eufy cameras upload content to the cloud without owners knowledge

    Apparently, Eufy has been aware of this already, which means they have also missed all deadlines on notifying agencies about GDPR violations etc. This could cost them at least a few billion EUR.

    I wonder how this affects people who only ever used it with Homekit, as it claims to be disabling most of the Eufy functionality.
    Having Eufy cameras enrolled in Homekit doesn't keep one from using the Eufy software to view the cameras.  I've got 5 cameras and can view them in Homekit or Eufy app.  Some advanced features are disabled in Eufy app since they are in Homekit, but basic functionality works just fine.
