  • Top 5 mice for Macs -- for gamers, professionals, and everyone in between

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    Yeah, gonna have to say this article is just wrong as written.

    THE top mouse for Macs is the Magic Mouse.  No contest.  The ONLY thing that would improve it is changing to USB-C charging and putting the charge port on the nose so it can be charged while it's in use.

    It's absolutely great that out of the box it's a one-button mouse.  Sure, that's not how WE use it, but for new users (and some old ones) two buttons are confusing, and Macs work just fine with one button.

    The ones in the article?  Nowhere close.  The Logitech ones are... fine.  They work.  I've not touched the "gaming" mouse, it looks less comfortable.  And those other two abominations can just GTFO, garbage like that is why I carry a small wired mouse in my bag, I've got to have one if somebody has that unusable garbage on their desk.

  • Apple reaches agreement with unionized Maryland Apple Store workers

    They will be last to receive any new benefits or pay enhancements Apple Retail unilaterally rolls out to all the stores 

    They will now need to transactionally ask and negotiate for every-single-thing  

    They think they “won”



    They did, in fact, win.

    And Apple would be breaking the law (and almost certainly violating their union contract) if they leave them out of any new benefits or raises.

    Hopefully this win will prompt other Apple stores to unionize.  Unions are ALWAYS better for workers.

  • Apple's batterygate settlement fund didn't have enough money to pay a $92.17 check

    Misleading Title. 

    It was not Insufficient Funds, but someone didn’t deposit the check within the period stated on the check before it became void (usually within 90 days). When did the person get the check?

    Click bait…
    Somebody didn't read the article.  The check was marked as good until April 18, she deposited it on April 1.  And if it's the check in the picture, it's dated March 1, much less than 90 days.

    In any case, she deposited it in time, and it bounced.

    The date on the cheque is "03/01/2024", Huntington Bank is a US bank, yes? So would the date not indicate March 1st, instead of the 3rd of January. I thought in the US, dates are written as MM/DD/YYYY not as DD/MM/YYYY.

    Funny story in the silly season. No products, no announcements, and iPhone rumors are mostly about colors and last-minute production problems as always in July.
    A bit surprised that US banks still handle checks at all.
    I agree, It is strange about cheques there. Here everything is transfer, either through a service (like Bizum) or by IBAN. 
    That is correct, that check is dated March 1, not January 3.

    What a wonderful title would have been: “Lauren Powel Jobs saved 30% on buying her new home in Prime Day!”

    But nasty news about Apple et all… brings page views… aka ad revenues!
    There's nothing negative about the headline. She broke a record. Whether that's good or bad is up to the reader.

    Billionaires are bad for humanity.   People really do want a monarchy/oligarchy in this country.  jfc.
    Nothing good or bad about billionaires. simply means someone found a way to be sucessful and make a ton of money. Good for them.

    Nope, billionaires are inherently bad for humanity.
