  • Apple has again Sherlocked developers with Clipboard History

    And oh, I've never been able to actually use Spotlight. 
    One thing Spotlight offers is the fastest app finder/launcher in Mac OS. Hit Command+Spacebar, type a few letters of the app name, return - pow app launched. It takes seconds to perform and no need to go to the finder. If Clipboard History works as easily and smoothly as this, it will be useful, but it will still need an quick "Clear" function.

    Wonder how this behaves with Handoff? I don't keep sensitive passwords on my phone and thus sometimes use Handoff Copy from my Mac password manager to get a password over to the iPhone. Is Clipboard History going to hang on to these passwords until they are pushed out of the buffer? I would imagine there will be a keyboard shortcut to clear the buffer. Also, the option of turning this feature off might be nice.

  • Trump demands 25% tariff on any iPhone not made in the US

    while making as many people as possible suffer, just to appease his inner pschyopath.

    The suffering is his kink. He absolutely loathes every human being but for himself. This includes pretty much all of MAGA - I think really really hates those people. His goal is to hurt people, it makes him happy. There is no stopping him at this point really. No one in his party is going to do anything. No one in the military is going to do anything. Unless the aliens land and decide to intervene, we will be suffering for quite some time and he is loving it.

  • Arms race: Apple's waiting for robotics for US iPhone assembly, says Commerce Secretary

    welshdogwelshdog
    From what I understand, total assembly of something as compact and delicate as an iPhone is not yet possible with robotic tools. Someday we'll get there, but it will require not only better robots, but a whole new level of design and engineering of the phone itself to make it compatible with the robots.

    Re-shoring massive amounts of manufacturing to the US is a current fantasy. The biggest shortcoming is supply chains. We have the absolute best CONSUMER supply chain, but our industrial chain is antiquated and inadequate. Plus, a lot of world manufacturing happens in places where the feedstocks and raw materials are close by. While that can be true for the US in some segments, it's not true for many. Then there's cost of labor problem - I don't see a solution for that. Along with that there is the worker training problem - our skilled manufacturing workforce is a tiny fraction of what it once was. We have near full employment right now so where are these workers coming from? Cook is right about the supply of tool and die makers, the engineers and other skilled workers. China has millions, we have thousands and they are pretty much all employed. And as many have pointed out, factory work is not some dream job for most people. Even if the job is as a robot wrangler, repair tech, automation manager etc. these can be dead-end unsatifying jobs. Whatever - no one who needs to hear all this is listening. I'm old and I guess it's time to enjoy

  • Next Apple Vision headset may use titanium to cut weight

    They should use Beryllium alloy for the chassis. Strong and light and only toxic a little bit.
