  • Baseus USB-C Hub 9-in-1 Review: Maybe too much USB-A

    I agree there should be a few USB-C ports, but I don't understand your complaining about too many USB-A. You really don't have any USB-A devices? I probably have 10 within arm's reach, including printers, scanners, external had drives and various iPhones and iPads.
    I had USB-A devices but I replaced all my cables back in 2016 when I bought my 2016 15" MBP.   Not sure how anyone owning a modern MacBook hasn't done the same.  USB-C cables are not that expensive....
    I use an external Logitech G mechanical keyboard which uses 2 USB-A ports.  My Logitech C920 webcam also uses USB-A.  Adapters like this are very handy for use case such as this.

    I won't buy a "Smart TV" from many manufacturer. Since almost all TVs these days are smart, I'll probably never buy another TV.
    My solution is not to connect my Smart TV to my home wifi and use my AppleTV to provide my 'smart' services instead.
    This is the way

    ....[American Car Companies] are still saddled with a lack of innovative abilities -- particularly in the area that will define the future for automobiles:  technology.    Going forward, Tesla and others will be aggressively pushing the technological envelope.
    This is pretty far off topic so I'll keep this brief. If you do a deeper dive, you'll quickly learn that your claim of a lack of innovative abilities is a pretty ridiculous statement. Tesla is ahead in some areas and behind in others.

  • Apple vs. Epic 'Fortnite' trial is starting on May 3, 2021

    healthy_scratchhealthy_scratch

    "The dispute began in August with Apple removing the "Fortnite" game from the App Store, following maker Epic Games contravening the store's rules. Since then, Epic Games has positioned the disagreement as one over the App Store monopoly, and Apple has argued that the entire case is a "marketing strategy.""


    To be fair, the dispute began when Epic knowingly and willfully broke the Developer agreement.  Apple's response to pull the app was pretty much SOP, which Epic Games knew, since they had their lawsuit and video already prepared.

  • Apple now allows developers to distribute custom apps to schools

    healthy_scratchhealthy_scratch
    @GeorgeBMac - what are you talking about?  Apple School Manager (ASM) has nothing to do with your anecdotal experience (Google Slides in a SaaS tool.  Just have your grandson point his browser to https://www.google.com/slides/about/ and edit his document there.  Or, have him download the mobile apps to his iPhone).  

    ASM has to do with how Schools and Academic Medical Center and HealthCare companies managed their corporate/school owned fleet of hardware, apps, and books. 

    The ability for ASM to now allow for custom apps is great, but it's frankly 3 years too late for my company.  We have a separate Apple Business Manager account specifically so that we can use and deploy custom apps.  For us to switch now would require us to replace the sToken on our MDM which would revoke the licenses for the apps  and then reinstall them.
