  • What happened to Safari Web Eraser -- the controversy, and what it looked like

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    This feature is one of the reasons I use Firefox with uBlock Origin.

    I can make garbage go away.

    Pity Apple listened to the scum putting garbage on the web, I might have used Safari more.

  • Bento breakdown: What's new in macOS Sequoia

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    Aww.  I was hoping Bento was coming back. 

    Apple really needs a boot to the head for killing it.  FileMaker Pro is extreme overkill for a lot of things.

    Increasingly, when Apple talks about "privacy", what they really mean is, "Kids having experiences that are 'private' from their parents, and spouses from spouses." Which of course, lots of the time, means porn. Steve Jobs famously said, "If you want porn, get an Android." Tim Cook's Apple increasingly proves how naive that statement was. 
    Steve Jobs was a prude who should have kept his opinion to himself.

    Um, interesting story, but go back to 1968 when 2001: A Space Odyssey blew everyone’s mind, on several levels, the tech depiction being just one.  HAL, tablets (albeit “laying” on a desk since they were 50 years ahead of the tech), etc etc

    Let’s not give Sculley any credit for this.
    So Elon Musk doesn’t get credit for usable EVs then as they had EVs roaming the streets a century ago.  Is that how we score it?
    No, because he didn’t found Tesla, he bought it, and he’s not an engineer, and as we’ve learned with the very public Twitter fails, a rather foolish manager. Classic case of failing upward (he was fired from PayPal before they even became PayPal). Wish my daddy had an emerald mine in S. Africa, nice way to start in life. 
    Exactly.  He wanted to call PayPal "X", smarter people wouldn't let him.  Unfortunately nobody could stop him from ruining Xitter.

    The elongated muskrat doesn't get credit for EVs.  Tesla existed before he stuck his nose in it and turned it into Turdla.

    And yes, EVs did exist a century ago, they're not a new concept.  And they were just as usable then as ICE cars were.  It's unfortunate that the petroleum industry managed to grow to the point that they could prevent them from becoming the standard.  We'd probably have some amazing battery technology by now, with thousand mile range cars that charge in 5 minutes.

    All Twitler gets credit for is being vulture capitalist scum.
