  • Apple Towson union files labor complaint against Apple over withholding benefits

    sbdudesbdude
    Apparently the unionizers didn't understand what a union is or how it works. You signed a contract, now live with it. Can't wait for the NLRB to tell them exactly that.

  • Dynamic Island expected to replace notch on all iPhone 15 models

    sbdudesbdude
    Unless all iPhone 15 models are OLED (or mini-LED, for that matter) I don’t see this as well-executed on the “lesser” iPhones. Without the absolute black you get with an OLED panel, the dynamic island will look funky on an LCD.

  • There's hope that older Macs will be able to run macOS Ventura

    Mystifies me why anyone would want to do this. Running newer MacOS systems on Macs Apple classifies as "vintage" or "obsolete." They ALWAYS, and I mean always, run poorly, sometimes terribly. I worked for an Apple VAR as a service writer (what Apple calls a genius, but no way I'd make that claim), and we got many people who wanted us to restore their old OS, which Apple does not make easy for consumers. (We had the means, and we charged $129 for it.)

    If you can't afford a new Mac, or iOS device, just keep the last authorized OS. If there's a feature you just must have, then bite the bullet and get a new model that can use it. Just a cautionary tale from someone who has seen what these hacks can do.

    You must have missed my post, which is strange because it was the very first post here. New versions of macos on "vintage" or "obsolete" macs (designations which have nothing to do with software, btw) don't 'always run poorly.' I'm running monterey (12.5.1) just fine on a ten year old macbook pro retina. And, based on the devs' efforts, the only reasons monterey and big sur don't run on kepler macs are a few animations (metal 3 support), and the desire to no longer support certain bluetooth and wifi devices.

    If anything, you can say my mac runs monterey just as "slowly" as it ran catalina. And it will save me $2k the next time I have to do my taxes, now that turbotax requires big sur.

  • Apple employee petition demands flexibility against return-to-office policy

    sbdudesbdude
    The pandemic has become nothing more than an excuse to change the rules, mostly for the worse. If these employees can prove their worth working at home, so be it. But the pandemic doesn't mean you get carte blanche to make demands of your employer. Don't like it, work somewhere else.

  • M2 MacBook Air review roundup: This is the Mac you're looking for

    sbdudesbdude
    The reviews seem to indicate what apple can achieve when they design for use, rather than for looks. The post Jony apple is looking better everyday.
