Nomad Sport Strap review: a more rugged alternative to Apple's
I wouldn’t list “Unnecessary adjustment holes” as a con. I believe that is a style choice not a functional choice. No one is going to take the band down to hole #1. -
Apple's AirPods Max likely lacks U1 Ultra Wideband chip
Beats said:nealc5 said:Everyone is comparing the AirPods Max to Bose or Sony noise cancellation headphones, which were initially targeted at frequent business travelers ("$300 for headphones??? You people are crazy for spending so much!") I have had a succession of Bose noise cancellation headphones over the years, and I love them for airplane travel. However, they have never been considered "audiophile" quality. Their main point is the noise cancellation.
CORRECT.
Bose was never EVER EVER EVER an "audiophile" company. They tricked casuals into thinking they were a high end quality company when they spent billions on advertising and NFL contracts.
When someone mentions Bose and quality that's all the red flags you need to know that the person does not know about audio. It's irritating when people mention Bose when comparing to Apple or other high end companies. -
Apple accused of allowing suppliers to break Chinese labor laws
sflocal said:Long gone are the days of actual journalism and having to get things right the first time. Back in the newspaper days, the stories better be correct, otherwise, valuable column space will have to be wasted on the next paper run for a retraction. Now, in the digital age, one can publish/insert anything regardless of its authenticity and if found wrong, simply update the article and pretend it never happened, or just hope that people's short attention span will simply move on.Sounds to me like it's more fake-news in the hopes of influencing the market, or someone with a grudge. The truth I think lies somewhere in the middle and what's the law and what's reality need to balance. However, until that is resolved, let's just cherry-pick pieces out of context because sensationalism news is what drives web clicks.I'm really disappointed here, and not necessarily with AI, but with modern news sites. It's pieces like these that has people never believing anything published by anyone anymore and it causes more long-term damage for those short-term clicks.foregoneconclusion said:sflocal said:Now, in the digital age, one can publish/insert anything regardless of its authenticity and if found wrong, simply update the article and pretend it never happened, or just hope that people's short attention span will simply move on.
