Steve Wozniak's 'Woz U' boot camp accused of shoddy courses, heavy-handed sales tactics
The road to hell... I'm totally sure Woz is guilty of one thing and one thing only: trusting people he thinks are his friends. The man is nothing but honest and kind. The swarm of sycophants surrounding him? Not so much. Time to clean house, Woz.

Hands on: Mofuu is a portable Apple Watch charger for your keychain
Or for the same price you could get this one which has a battery... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CFL7YH

Personal data of two million customers swiped in T-Mobile breach
They, like Comcast and Cox, are not companies worthy of your loyalty. They routinely abuse their de facto monopoly status whenever they get a chance. AT&T benefited handsomely from the Apple exclusivity situation, threw Apple under the bus as soon as it was convenient, and screwed their gullible "grandfathered" customers by illegally throttling their data after 2GB -- as was subsequently ruled by the courts. I switched to T-Mobile years ago and couldn't be happier. I pay significantly less, and I get significantly more: faster data, better coverage, free international text and data roaming, inexpensive international voice roaming. T-Mobile rocks.nunzy said:I am loyal to ATT. They were the only ones who gave iPhone a chance. Nobody else had any faith in Apple. -
Ossic bails on $3.2 million Kickstarter and Indiegogo '3D headset' project [u]
There is also a lot of misrepresentation, people claiming they're in the US to gain trust, when they're actually halfway across the planet. The worst offender I've seen was "Ritot" on Indiegogo: they did a great campaign for their projection watch, and people like me who trusted they were based in San Francisco gladly contributed. Turns out they're based in Russia, and collected over $1.5 million under false pretenses. Two years later they still produce "updates" but it's become abundantly clear at this point that they will never ship anything worthwhile. Their explanation for lying about their whereabouts: "nobody would have trusted us" For jus reason, I think.

Dell XPS 13 9370 vs. Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro, the ultimate comparison
FWIW... there are several embroidery programs for the Mac, one called Embrilliance is Mac/Windows and it offers pretty much all the features I've seen on fancy Windows packages, if not more, and it's fairly easy to use. I have digitized logos, fixed problem files, even photographic art with it. They have a demo version for Mac and Windows available here: http://embrilliance.com/demonstration-versions Also, most Windows embroidery programs work just fine on the Mac with VMWare Fusion or Parallels, so much easier than BootCamp.lkrupp said:For me and I bet most Apple fans it doesn’t matter if some PC laptop has more ports, is faster by a few milliseconds, has more cores or whatever. It’s always macOS vs Windows for me and I can’t imagine using that POS operating system. I bought my wife a Dell laptop with an i7 processor, good amount of RAM because the $2000.00 software package for her Bernina 830 sewing/embroidery machine only runs on Windows. The Dell has Windows 10 installed with all current updates applied and still takes almost three times longer to boot up than my 2013 iMac running High Sierra. On the Dell sometimes it can connect to the sewing machine, sometimes it won’t and the wife has to use a USB stick to move her designs onto the machine. If I won the fastest tricked out Windows PC money could buy I would sell it for whatever I could get for it and buy another Mac. End of story.
