  • Apple Pencil functionality compromised with third-party iPad parts

    mayflymayfly
    There is a huge industry in third party repairs, using parts from who knows where. I've used both, and never had a problem. But I worked at an Apple VAR, and we saw many, many people who bought cheap MacBook AC adapters that caught fire, or shorted out their logic boards. Caveat emptor.

    The only culpability Apple has in this matter is their expensive repair price structure. It's a bit like going to your local mechanic instead of your car dealer for an oil change.

    Is it just me, or are those before and after exactly the same?

  • Apple shares new trailer for upcoming third season of 'The Morning Show'

    Love watching The Morning Show. Whenever I think about the screwed-up lives of the rich and famous main characters, it makes me feel good about my stable relationships, my low profile, and my comfortable, upper middle class life.

    Why on earth would a law-abiding, private citizen want anything to do with crypto? Isn't what happened with FTX and Coinbase enough to convince you that crypto is nothing but another variation of a Ponzi scheme? Ever hear of the Greater Fool Theory? You take your hard earned money, and get a wallet full of Bitcoins that are useless for legal purposes, and hope you can find a fool greater than you to buy them for more than you paid. And that's if the crook who sold them to you doesn't just install malware on your device and steal them from you, leaving your kids with no college fund.

    Good luck.

    I understand where your logic is coming from.  But it is actually called the Blockchain, and it is a hard concept to get your mind around - it took me years.  Currently it's under attack.  If we don't get Fiat currency out, we will only see the same.  We have never proposed to end Fiat currency.  FTX - Coinbase were set up by deep states to undermine the Blockchain, and they are non-existent.  It was a joke.  You are your own Bank on Blockchain.  That makes many people angry.  But you have to buy a can of pop to get it done using Blockchain (to succeed).  It's being blocked.  The Banks are not happy.  Government and Banks play Filthy.  Incarceration hasn't stopped us.
    I know what blockchain is. Epiq Angle published an article saying, "Since 2017, public data shows that hackers have stolen around $2 billion in blockchain cryptocurrency. This recent activity illustrates that blockchain is unfortunately not unhackable and users should still be cautious, especially when trading on exchanges." They also demonstrated how it's done:
