  • Apple Studio Display review: How badly do you want an all-Apple experience?

    The LG ultrafine 27” display is a far better value. The display is beautiful and works great with my MacBook Pro. Picked a refurbished one up on Amazon for $900 a few years back. Paying $2,000 for an equivalent monitor is out of the question.

  • Tesla design chief takes shot at Apple, claims there's 'nothing to look forward to'

    This from a company that has been filing the Model S design for a decade?
    Don’t be so unfair. They also copied the Lotus design.

  • Apple already included workaround for MacBook Pro notch

    What is going on with the Apple design department? From iPhone safari (sometimes the url and toolbar are on the bottom, sometimes on the top) to Notch-All-The-Things, it’s getting kind of weird lately.

  • Apple employees threaten to quit as company takes hard line stance on remote work

    Hybrid telework is a great benefit and they should consider themselves lucky. My office went from full telework to similar hybrid schedule and I find it the best fit for me. I don’t like being in the office 5 days a week and I don’t like 100% telework either. 

    I think a lot of complaints are from people who moved away from the insanely expensive Bay Area to telework from more affordable places and now have to go back (which is a very valid complaint). The cost of housing is hurting Silicon Valley and Apple’s ability to attract talent.

  • Apple to support winter storm relief efforts in Texas, other US states

    Maybe they could send them some batteries -- or ideas on how to build an electric grid.
    I’m sure they have plenty of ideas, but they don’t mean shit if it stalls at the government level. Both sides are so focused on politicizing everything, they forgot who they’re actually supposed to be working for. 
    Texas is Republican-run. In the 1930s the state disconnected from the national power grid so that energy companies didn't have to be regulated. These companies saved money by not winterizing their natural gas, coal, oil refineries, and windmills. These things operate just fine in northern countries like Canada, Norway, Finland, etc. But the Republican-run "don't mess with Texas" independent boot-straps utopia is now begging the federal govt for handouts, the same federal govt they continually turn their back against. Now their arrogance and stupidity has come back to frost-bite them.
