  • DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app

    pixeltini said:
    Hmm, who could have guessed interfering with law enforcement efforts would be illegal? It's no different than attempting to block a police vehicle doing its duty to protect Americans against those who would do us harm. You know… gang members, drug dealers, convicted felons, cartel thugs, human traffickers, and so on.

    And let's call out the specious idea that Ice Block is no different than a radar detector or warning drivers of a speed trap. A speed zone warning is an alert to POTENTIAL law breakers. Ice Block interferes with police efforts to apprehend individuals who have ALREADY BROKEN AT LEAST ONE LAW. Do you see the difference? Well do you?

    Pardon me for using logic and pointing out the obvious. Now go ahead and hurl the Leftist phrases you learned from CNN.
    It’s flat-out a violation of the 1st amendment to criminalize this app.  You like the 2nd amendment?  Well, it’s second, not first, and the first is free speech.  Which means the government can’t do squat about sharing info.  That is the entire point of the first amendment.  Don’t like it?  Then it sounds like you don’t like democracy. Maybe China or Russia or Communism is more your style.   Cause there ain’t no free speech in communist countries.  

    And no, the info isn’t criminal.   You see a police car, you can tell someone you saw a police car and where it was.  That is all this is.

  • iPhone buyers worldwide may see higher prices because of Trump's tariffs

    The Trump circus is probably more concerned about the US being at the leading edge of technology. Apple should make its most sophisticated and advanced components in the US. This would probably solve everything.
    No, trump doesn’t care about anything, including tech, except how much money he’s getting.  He’s killing education from kindergarten thru graduate school.  He’s killing science.   Engineering.   He has no care about anything except what he can get from bullying people.  And he’s only got a 8-year-old’s understanding of things and can’t see how  being at the leading edge of science and tech makes us more rich and powerful.  It’s all about what he can get NOW.

  • The new Apple Silicon Mac Pro badly misses the mark for most of the target market

    This sounds bunk.  Lack of upgradeable graphics cards is holding these homies back?  Such as those on a pro 5, 1?   
    No.  Just no.  This machine smokes those 10-12 year old towers.  
    Granted, I wouldn’t replace those old towers with this either, you can use a Mac Studio and get the same performance.  

    But this machine smokes those 10-12 year old Intel machines. All new macs smoke those old machines.

  • Rumored Mac Studio trade-in points to possible refresh during WWDC

    Why Cook didn’t do more to keep him, I’ll never know. Outside of jobs, Ive was THE soul of Apple. 

    It’s definitely a different Apple now and not for the better. But… Jobs and Ive were so amazing, influential and competent at passing down their ethos that Apple is still and will continue to be far and away ahead of everyone else. Just wish it had the same level of care. 
    Couldn’t disagree more.  All of Ives products were crippled, and some horribly so.  And many were ugly.  Apples lineup is now the best it’s ever been, design included.
