  • Apple won't release leather iPhone 15 cases, claims leaker

    payecopayeco
    For the better probably. Apple’s leather quality has really gone down hill the last few years. I’ve been a leather case guy since 2016 but I decided to switch to caseless lately so I guess this is perfect timing.

  • WiZ smart lights now support Apple Home via Matter

    Awesome. I had been running a light strip from them through HomeBridge for a couple years so it’ll be nice to get native support.

    Interesting that the US doesn’t even feature on this random list of countries and NFC payments
    https://www.nfcw.com/2020/03/26/366173/table-contactless-payment-transaction-limit-increases-around-the-world/

    What is it about USA that means they haven’t adopted the move away from cash like the rest of the world?
    Because the US has no limit on contactless payment amounts. If there is no limit would it be would be featured in that list of countries with limits?

    It’s a launch day phone:

    “On June 29, 2007, the iPhone went on sale for the first time, creating a history of sorts.

    Across the United States, people queued up outside Apple stores for hours to buy the coveted device, with some even getting a “lucky you” sticker inside the box. ”

    We finally got our Model Y in August after waiting 11 months from order date.  It’s the first new car we’ve ever owned. It’s amazing, but would like to have CarPlay on it.  If Rivian is a better car then buy it, but to me it’s idiotic to make (or cancel) a car purchase because of any person at the company.  
    To be fair, Musk isn’t just “any person at the company”, he is the face of the company. From what I can tell he seems to be a fairly loud-voiced and opinionated face of the company.  He also seems to rub a lot of people the wrong way.

    To me it’s similar to that person that cuts me off in traffic while driving a vehicle that has their company name on it.  I’ll remember that Chris’ Custom Closets guy cut me off and when it’s time to redo my closet I won’t be calling them.

    It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to hear that Musk said something in an interview or on Twitter that really annoyed a potential customer and then that potential customer decided to go with another brand. 
    My point was that regardless of the person, even the CEO, if the product is worth buying then buy it. Otherwise you’re just putting the stick in your own eye. I didn’t avoid Disney because Chapek is an idiot. 

     I drove 430 miles yesterday afternoon to night in the Model Y. It took about 8.5 hours with all charging and bathroom stops, averaging about 74mph while on the road. What other electric vehicle can you do that with today (or likely even in 2 years)? The Lucid Air certainly can’t do that on one charge at interstate highway speeds.
    There seems to be some disconnect here. The CEO of the company is making their own product not worth buying in the eyes of many people. This is the part your seem to be missing. It’s wonderful for you that your personal moral or ethical compass allows you to completely ignore the shitbag running the company you bought your car from though.
