  • A Virginia woman has been stalking Tim Cook for more than a year

    This is a direct consequence of society’s cowardice in not making sure people get the medication that they need. It’s not compassionate to let someone refuse treatment (when their disorder prevents them from having the insight to accept treatment), then go on to ruin their lives, and possibly others. Same
    thing is happening to thousands of homeless people. Society is failing our severely mentally ill population. 
    First hand experience with a sibling. Because they're an adult we have no power to ensure they take the medications needed. Once stoped they go into a rabid state of accusing everyone of conspiring against them. The smallest thing (offering to go out to lunch) would cause a trigger. Once triggered it's nothing but constant threats and harassment. We're paying for their home/bills to ensure they don't end up in the streets, but constant fights with neighbors means they'll get evicted and in the streets anyway. We're devastated and powerless.

    Mental health is completely and utterly ignored in this country.

  • Wi-Fi 7 speeds are almost as fast as Thunderbolt 3

    Theoretical max speed != real world speed

    My current M1Max MBP is connected to a Wifi6 AP 5 feet away with nothing in between. Connection speed: 400Mbps 🙄

  • Army wife uses AirTags to track shady movers

    I wonder if the truck driver had an iPhone or Android with the Tracker Detect app they would have been notified “AirTag Found Moving With You”. 
    The tag in the back of the truck is likely too far away to trigger the warning.
    The tag needs to connect to an iOS device to be able to transmit its location (Find My Network). AirTags only have bluetooth and no wifi/cellular capabilities. The only plausible situation is the driver had Android (and therefore wouldn't get any notification unless he manually downloaded the app, unlikely) and the AirTag just connected to random devices as they passed by the truck, but never staying connected long enough to trigger the "moving with you" notification.

  • Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard in $68.7B gaming deal

    red oak said:
    This screams anti-trust if they have any intention of making Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox and PC.    Half of company’s revenue is generated on PlayStation and mobile.I don’t see the point in Microsoft buying it.

    Microsoft has a horrible M&A record.  It is where company’s go to die 
    Did you even READ the article!? IF this deal goes through, it would put them into THIRD place. As for exclusivity, that's how it works. Did you harp about how all the Sony exclusive content!? What about Sony limiting Spider-Man games to the Playstation only? This is how IP works.

  • Apple AR headset could cost consumers over $2,000

    Apple VR and Apple Car, two products who’s sole purpose is just for rumor sites to post more articles during slow news days.
