    Would that be the M Thatcher whose Tory government never once posted a budget surplus during her tenure and sold off national assets at bargain basement prices?

    I wouldn't trust her opinions on any matter, let alone financial ones.
    Well to be fair it is the government. The only product they make is more government. Don’t know if it’s a good thing their “income” exceeds their expenditures. Any money coming in to government is going to be spent somewhere.

  • Apple stops shipping 5W power adapter with Apple Watch Hermes

    This is all fine but they need to lower the price of the 5w charger from $19 to $9 for the people who need one.
    Better yet, give buyers the option of receiving a “free” power adapter at the time of purchase or not, and lower the price of the adapter.  ;)

  • Girl flags massive iOS ad scam campaign targeting kids

    How does an installer hide the app icon? I think that's one of the more scary things to come out of this article.

  • 5G iPhone launch unlikely to be 'massive event,' AT&T executive says

    Translation:   'AT&T didn't invest in 5G and their 5G-E scam fooled no one.   So, who needs it?   who wants it?   Shouldn't we all wait for them to bungle 6G the same way?'

    But, I do agree with him that there won't be a mass rush to the iPhone 12's because they have 5G (except possibly in those countries like China who have already rolled it out nationwide).   Instead, mostly it will prevent Apple from LOSING sales from those who simply don't want to invest in yesterday's 4G technology (you know, like AT&T did)
    Every once in a while you get a ‘Like’ from me George.

    5G or not, I am ready for a new phone. 
    This is what he doesn’t understand. I think this is going to be a massive upgrade cycle.  I’m on a XS Max and I’m ready.  There just wasn’t enough difference between it and the 11 Pro Max. I had an iPhone X and then upgraded a year later because I wanted a bigger screen. But the performance difference between my phone now and the 12 will be substantial.  
    I’m also on a XS Max. I can’t imagine the 12 offering any substantial performance over it. An upgraded camera would be nice, but speed? Still feels pretty peppy to me.

    Got an iPhone 11 last year. I expect to use it for 4-5 years. So by 2024 I'll be getting something 5G capable, maybe it'll be out here by then, but not MM so even then I don't expect to see much if any difference.
    Yep, that’s my plan. I’m still using my AW3 as well and completely happy with it.

  • Review: Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is tailor-made for the work-from-home era

    I feel for Windows users who still need to use an RF dongle in 2020.

    Actually they don't.  Windows machines have Bluetooth also.
    My Logitech M720 Triathlon came with a dongle but I've never used it.
    Instead I simply tap a button on the side of the mouse and it switches its Bluetooth connection among up to three devices.   I have mine set as:
    #1  MacBook Air
    #2  iPad
    #3  Lenovo Thinkpad

    It works well on all three and the switching is instant.  
    The one reviewed here sounds more sophisticated, but this one also also has all the buttons and does everything I need.


    Guess I better tell some of those machines on our network they better find their Bluetooth capability or else...
