Apple security chief Thomas Moyer indicted in concealed firearm permit bribery case
nikon1 said:“ Jensen reportedly managed to get Moyer to promise that Apple would donate 200 iPads, worth about $70,000, to the Sheriff's Office. Undersheriff sung also extracted from Chadha, the insurance broker, a "promise of $6,000 worth of luxury box seat tickets to a San Jose Sharks hockey game."
In California, it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm without a CCW license that can cost between $200 and $400.
So these 2 CLOWNS (Moyer & Chadha) risked their careers and wanted to avoid paying between $200 & $400 to legitimately get their CCW legally? They should be imprisioned for pure greed and stupidity.
What a pair of Morons! -

If iFixit had their way every component would be socketed, everything else connected with plugs and cables, weigh a ton, pop open, and be ugly as sin. Screw these douches.Oil changes on you car are not the same thing as relaxing parts internal to your phone or computer.
Soldering, or using glue has nothing to do with "right to repair". Any metric showing how easy or difficult it is to repair something is only a gage of how easy something is to repair. There is a difference between right-to-repair and ease of fixing something. They are not the same thing. Not allowing people access to parts, schematics or diagrams while designing products to make them impossible to fix without special software or hardware not available to anyone else is the issues the right-to-repair movement tries to address. -
Apple paying $113M to settle multi-state investigation into iPhone throttling
jas99 said:I’m still extremely surprised that Apple wasn’t able to overcome the gross lack of understanding that went into the criticism, lawsuit, and final ruling. Apple decided to give users optimal performance when their battery aged, making it less necessity replace the device. The intent and outcome was the polar opposite of what they were accused and convicted of doing. So many people are so stupid.

I didn’t need to be educated about how batteries work. I needed Apple to disclose that they radically changed my phone’s performance characteristics, and I deserved to be a party to that decision. -
Apple paying $113M to settle multi-state investigation into iPhone throttling
"Bull. Chips have always been throttled for heat or for battery" If anyone artificially throttled your device to encourage you to buy new "much faster" models isn't that an issue? Also $113M might sound like a lot to us, it's nothing to Apple who's profits in 2020, so far, is over $57Billion. And that's the money they made after running costs and taxes. $113M isn't even 1% of their profits it's not even 0.5%. It's such a small fine that Apple can just consider that a business expense and keep doing business they way they have been.
