  • Apple's fix for bad AI notification summaries won't actually improve results

    You can turn off AI notifications on a per app basis, as was stated in the article. Developers can't opt out by default today, and maybe that can come in a later update, but users do have control over the feature. I personally don't understand the outrage towards this feature. I find it quite useful.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook personally invested $1 million in Trump's inauguration

    Tim Cook did the same thing with Biden. Also, why did Wesley coin the President-Elect as controversial? He won in an electoral college landslide and also won the popular vote by over 4 million votes. I’d say the country clearly stated who they wanted. No controversy here folks. Maybe let’s just stick with tech news and not show our biased political views in a tech article. 
    He's controversial not because he won, but because of who he is and what he believes. There's nothing biased or even political about that. The mountain of lawsuits, assault claims, overt racism, sexism, and indignation for any country that isn't the United States makes him a controversial president.

    Saying someone is controversial isn't an insult or attack. It's a simple fact.
    That’s your opinion. Many of us believe it was Biden, his family, business dealings, and policies that are controversial in addition to the law fare waged against the former and future President. 

    We appreciate the articles, but perhaps they can be a little more universal instead than of obviously creating a dividing line. 

    Literally anyone can be labeled controversial by anyone who disagrees with them. Doesn’t make it so. 

    When the majority of the country approves of the guy enough to make him president again, it’s not what believes or stands for that’s controversial. Just the facts. 
    I don't know what to say except words have meaning and you don't have to read our website. It's not biased to call him controversial, but if that hurts your feelings then find an article that will lie and make you feel better I guess.
    Words do have meaning. That was my point. Your opinion about the president is your opinion. You are entitled to it, but your need to shoehorn your opinion everywhere possible when necessary - to the point where you are actively encouraging longtime website members (who have been with the site longer than yourself) to go elsewhere is antithetical to any business goal in addtiion to just being rude. Doesn't seem very professional. And that comment in bold proves it. Nowhere did I display emotion. I simply stated facts. If that hurts your feelings, maybe you should be doing something else. 
    Sir, this is a Wendy's.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook personally invested $1 million in Trump's inauguration

    It never ceases to amaze me that the people claiming that they are tired of bias are the same ones that get their news from the most partisan outlets on the planet. But maybe that's just a coincidence.

    It's even more hilarious when words like "controversial" aren't allowed because it suggests the president might be bad, even though controversy isn't inherently bad. Steve Jobs was a controversial figure. Even Joe Biden was a controversial president. If you are threatened by everything you read because of some perceived slight due to a misunderstanding of the English language, then that's on you, dear reader.

    I make my opinions known on the internet and in forums because I'm not afraid of them or embarrassed by them. But I can tell you that what I wrote was fair and balanced. If you're offended by facts, then stop going to websites that present facts.

  • Chief People Officer leaves Apple after short 20 month tenure

    Ngl, I always found the title Chief People Officer more than a little off-putting. She was in charge of Human Resources. No matter how you sugar coat it, that’s what that position was. Giving the job a cute, new agey name just struck me as weird, as trying too hard. 
    I clicked Like on your post because until you told me in plain speech what that title actually is, I really wouldn't have known.

    We all know what "Human Resources" (aka HR) is about.  But Chief People Officer is a head scratcher!

    At the end of the day, I guess she left because she wasn't a people person after all. :-)

    But in the greater scheme of things, does it really matter?
    Second paragraph my dude lmao
    > "Chief People Officer is a role that was created by taking the human resources department"

    But to be fair it is a role much larger than just HR. She also managed projects like recruiting for Apple's college programs and such. She reported directly to Tim Cook. It is curious that she left, but not entirely crazy. Apple is a tough company and outsiders tend to not do well in those executive positions. Most of Apple's Leadership page are people that rose through the ranks over decades, not outside hires like Surface.
