  • NFTs worth $1.7M stolen via OpenSea phishing attack

    Well that sucks. I thought the blockchain was a secure method of buying/selling for the future.

    Someone got their worthless crap stolen.

  • Five Galaxy S22 Ultra features which should be on the iPhone

    And? Don't know if you noticed, but the apple rumorsphere has been incredibly boring lately. Anything that can stir some discussion is welcome to me.

    I think I'd prefer the hole punch, but I don't care that much either way.

    I definitely want an under the screen fingerprint reader. It's so much easier than positioning your head and eyes (yes, I know the eye thing can be changed in settings), and that's even before dealing with annoying issues like glasses, masks, etc. It's so much easier to confirm apple pay without having to look at or position your phone, I miss that. In addition, it'd be cool to be able to program certain fingers for different tasks, eg authenticating, popping up a menu (like a right click type thing), open a specific app, triggering a home kit scene, etc.

    I don’t get the whole argument against FaceID being inferior because you have to look at your iPhone to activate it.

    Ummm… don’t you have to look at your iPhone to use it anyway? Or are some of you using your iPhone blindly?

    I can skip all but the Touch ID.  Miss it for many reasons.  Can open camera without looking at it and take pictures in a museum or of people in their natural state. Plus many other things. FaceID is okay, but mask, no mask, many other things.  Touch ID added and I upgrade immediately.  
    It should be added to the power button like iPad.

  • Future AirPods may know when you cheat on Apple Fitness+

    It sounds like they are broaching a long-standing problem with the activity app on AppleWatch:  There are certain types of exercise that are difficult or impossible to measure accurately from one wrist.

    It's why things like strength training and yoga mostly measure time while assuming that the intensity is that of a brisk walk.

    This makes the most sense. They are probably aiming for accuracy more than cheating.

  • Apple gives Oscar nominated 'CODA' movie a theatrical re-release, for free

    Nice. Love seeing “greedy Apple” giving people more free content.
