    Actually, I want the opposite, because of the threat of porch pirates, I want to order online and pickup at the Apple Store.
    You have to sign for Apple deliveries, or it doesn't get delivered. And if it did, UPS would have to pay for it. And the driver would be written up.

  • Musk warns Twitter rebrand to X will happen soon

    The branding could end up being a good thing for Twitter, as it attempts to raise revenue following attempts to cut costs and numerous controversies. On July 15, Musk declared Twitter was "still negative cash flow," harmed by a 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load.

    Read on AppleInsider

    Yer Nar can't see it working out so well given most the the need to rebrand is from Musk himself generating controversies. He should sell and let the new owners rebrand. 

    Unless that is the plan let them debrand as a sign of fixing the mistakes of the elon-era. Would explain why the branding is so "power-bro"
    AppleInsider must have gone nuts from trying to defend the indefensible. Is there ANYONE who hasn't made the connection between a White South African and the "free speech" stance who encourages all white supremacists to spew their racist filth on his platform? Anti-censorship unless you disagree with him.

    I asked ChatGPT to write me a limerick about Musk's new "everything app" rhyming with crap.

    Here's what it came up with (in less than a second):
    In the world of tech, a great zap,
    Is the new "everything app" on the map
    But it glitched and went snap
    Now it's causing a mishap
    Leaving users to call it pure crap!

    No kidding, that is a direct copy and paste!

    Here's the haiku version:
    Tech's "everything app,"
    Glitches bring a sudden snap
    Crap, the users clap.

    Now for the riddle:
    I'm the tech marvel they sought to create,
    An "everything app," a wonder, first-rate,
    But glitches appeared, sealing my fate,
    Now users find me frustratingly innate,
    In disappointment, they often berate,
    Guess what am I?
    It's your turn to speculate!

    I like this part of the last sentence:
    "…without the customer walking out from a $3,500 sale over a missing element they want."

    So when you can't get the VisionPro at the store, don't leave. Let us order it for you! Just like at the car dealer. They know if they let you leave, your odds of coming back drop are slim to none. And Slim just left.

  • Beats Studio Pro versus AirPods Max -- compared

    mayflymayfly
    A more apt comparison would be the Beats Studio Pro vs. the Sony WH-1000XM4. Same price, very similar feature set, battery life and connections.
    I tried both, chose the Sony because the ANC was quite a bit better. But I can't hear frequencies above 8 kHz anymore, so I can't compare the dynamic range.
