  • Twitter activates 'Sign in with Apple' integration

    ArchStantonArchStanton
    For those that value their private data remaining private, do not use an existing large company account to sign up for another site — certainly not for Twitter, Facebook, Google. Absolutely Never use Facebook or Google accounts for new website account creation and login. You simply add online identities and more potential data to the huge single file of your personal data already collected. 

    Apple has keychain, several other good password programs out there for other platforms. Create a new account and let keychain/other manage the password. If keeping your data private isn’t a good enough reason, having separate and unique passwords across public internet sites you log into is better login security practice.  (Keychain/other will create passwords that will not be blunt force attacked).

    Vaccine passports, and anyone who pushes them, can go to hell.
    It’s more likely the unvaccinated will be the first people in hell given they’re the ones who are making up the majority of hospital cases due to their stupidity. Darwinism in action.

    As for vaccine passports, it’s a good temporary measure until the pandemic is over. Those of us who have travelled internationally in the past are familiar with the paper versions required for some countries. It’s no big deal unless you’re paranoid.
    Who is making up anything is your belief learned from Where? Politicians? TV? A highly controlled, mass propagated and manipulated video medium, called TV,  is no doubt the home of higher evolutionary evolvement and thinking. Certainly politicians would be among you higher involved. 

    It’s a good “temporary” measure? So again this is temporary because they said it on TV? Political leaders? Have they said anything before on TV about something being temporary and that wasn’t the case? I assume you must believe, as one of higher evolvement, that TV doesn’t make claims that are exaggerated or untrue. 

    ”Traveled international” (which I have), so international travel now includes the corner market, local post office, outdoors in a park, etc etc? 

    Thank you for rising up to save us with your highly evolved critical thinking. No, Really, thanks but….I’ll pass.

  • Thunderbolt 5 details leak via deleted Twitter photo by Intel executive

    Love the increased speeds but not looking for yet another different port connector. 
    There usually are some drawback to plug->port. Old school mini din or RCA to HDMI to Lightning to USB-C. Unless you are using a locking mechanism such as a BNC(not practical here), the USB-C physical connector sufficiently does the trick. Same connector and backwards compatible? Great!

    This is all a dangerous precedent.  Authoritarian "Papers please".  

    It is not ANYONE's business if you did or did not.  

    Unfortunately too many people don't think past tomorrow. Always an emotional knee jerk reaction to day's headline -- never a thought to what today's decision will mean in 2 months or 2 years later. 
    Imagine what today's "health" card might include in a year or two or three?  Virtually anything can be labeled as 'for the public health' when this is decided by scary headline!! and emotional knee jerk people. 
    No power given or right given away to the powerful is every given back.

  • Titanium Apple Watch Series 6 unavailable for pick-up from many Apple Stores

    The wide unavailability of the Apple Watch Series 6 in titanium points to Apple significantly limiting its production run, with one report proposing Apple could ditch the titanium "Edition" model entirely.




    The Apple Watch Edition version of the Apple Watch Series 6 houses the wearable device in a titanium or Space Black titanium case. However, according to a report, the availability of the model is quite limited.

    According to Mark Gurman's "Power On" newsletter for Bloomberg, the titanium model is listed as unavailable for pickup from Apple Stores in the United States, as well as other major markets. AppleInsider confirmed the situation with its own checks.

    Apple has yet to officially discontinue the model, but it seems plausible given rumors of a new Apple Watch Series 7 launching in the fall.

    It is reasoned by Gurman that the premium model was only made in small numbers, on the expectation they wouldn't sell well. Manufacturing probably ended in the spring, with the unavailability being due to the supply of the model finally starting to run out, he offers.

    As for the Apple Watch Series 7, Gurman believes it's plausible Apple could ditch the Edition material entirely. "What's the point of spending $800 or more on a watch that will be outdated in one year and nonfunctional in under five?" Gurman proposes.

    Yeah, I find it interesting that I can’t even get an iPad Air repaired because it’s 6 and a half years old. 
    You would be the only one who finds that interesting. 
    Btw, you can get it repaired. But that fact is not going stop these type posts.
