  • Goodbye, green bubbles: How to send blue iMessages from Android with Beeper Mini

    TomE said:
    I have never had a problem with iMessage until I put the latest public beta on my Apple M1 Max 64g/2T Mac.  I know about Betas, but have never had a Beta problem either.  Message will without warning completely abort on its own.  It might be after 3-4 lines, sometimes 1 line, sometimes a few paragraphs to my friends.  Works fine on M1 Air that has beta.  If this is any indication of What is To Come, I have just about had it friends.  Message, Calendar, and Safari have been my go to apps for as long as I can remember.  Works fine on iOS beta.  But not on my Mac OS.  No help from Apple either. which I was aware of beore I tried the Public Beta.  I am sick of sending them crash reports on their FeedBack Assistant.  Which they will never repond to either.  

    If you have A SIMILAR problem , I think it would be good for someone to post here.  Otherwise, please do not respond.  Take the Chance , Pay the Price.  And you know how decked out a 64g/2T M1 Max Mac is.  Way over kill.   Mac User since 1984 and Apple User since before. 


    Oh, I’m going to respond all right. You came into this thread to complain about a beta release?  This should end well for you.

    I wish Apple could give us the option to turn computational photography off.
    Depends on the phone but many phones do. Shoot in RAW.

  • Apple's new Apple Card & Goldman Sachs statement doesn't clarify things at all

    We’ll see what happens to our credit ratings when the GS Mastercard is dropped. I have excellent credit but having a new credit card will reduce my credit age. Amex isn’t always taken at stores and restaurants so it might not be a good replacement. 
    Okay, “credit age” is kind of a weird term to use but I assume you mean credit history. If so, then this shouldn’t impact your credit history. You will show an account closed with one bank and another opened with a new bank. That doesn’t change the length of your credit history. 
    Credit history and age of accounts absolutely impacts your credit score.

    I cannot understand the mentality of TaxWatch and organizations like it.
    Really?  You cannot understand the belief that a tax system should be fair and equitable, and that broad rules should apply equally to all, and independent monitoring of the situation is required to assess outcomes, campaign for positive change, and provide extra layers of compliance auditing?

    Weird.

    No. Then these idiots should work to change the tax codes. Sorry. As a shareholder, I do not want any company paying a penny more in taxes than legally required.
    Paying a bit more in taxes would not directly affect your shares IMO. The value of any individual share is somewhat arbitrary, tied more to the perception of what it is worth to an investor (gambler?) rather than anything tangible. 
    Lol.  You still think corporations “pay” taxes.

    What did Apple do to tick France off do much and make them (the French) do seemingly weird things?
    What is weird about informing consumers?
    They don’t have the right to leak information. And you don’t think it’s weird that they intended to force a recall on a single iPhone product?
