Apple's deal to sell on Amazon directly is crushing small resellers by design
This isn't currently an issue, as the article mentions.jbdragon said:Ya, I new Apple was going to use that T2 chip to screw over the users to stop them from fixing their own computers. With what Apple is doing, I'm all on board with right to repair.Right to repair does, however, raise some issues. First, repairability will increasingly be in conflict with the highest tech. Repair becomes more and more like surgery as logic elements become more microscopic and integrated, with finer and more delicate interconnect. It's not so easy to design a brain to be repairable! And secondly, there are legitimate security concerns involved in not making it easy to access everything inside your computer.

Tim Cook tells Tulane University grads that 'my generation has failed you'
99.9% of the scientists who have studied this area and published research on it disagree with you. The only debate is in the popular press, promoted by vested interests. You have to believe everything is a conspiracy to ignore the science. It isn't.sdw2001 said:
The economic costs have only been enormous because people and organizations have exploited the issue for power, profit, politics and redistribution on a global scale. The problem itself is moderate at worst and not fully understood relative to long term climate history and factors which contribute to change. The solutions proposed this far are grotesque, ineffective, unfair, and would have serious negative consequences for humans.normm said:
He's talking about anthropogenic climate change, which gets harder and more expensive to deal-with the longer we ignore it. The economic costs have already been enormous (paid for by us all), and the US military considers this a major risk factor destabilizing the world.knowitall said:Climate change, thats a tautology.

How to turn Macs and iPhones into the best and fastest research tools
According to the Papers website the beta of the new desktop app will be available for download June 1.elijahg said:Papers has had a new version coming out for the last 2 years at least, so I don't hold out that much hope. It's a shame because it's great.

No, '250 scientists' didn't warn that AirPods are a cancer risk
Microwave photons have way too little energy to break bonds and cause genetic damage -- their only effect on tissue is to heat it. As the article points out, the power output of these headphones is one milliwatt, and only a small fraction of this is absorbed. The brain is actively cooled by blood flow. It's unlikely that 1 milliwatt of heating is even detectable, let alone damaging. Nothing is impossible in science, but some things are implausible.ivanh said:Thanks for ignoring Newton’s law of physics. The strength of the radiation of emf absorbed is inversely proportional to the distance from the AirPods to the brain cells and around the axis between two ears. Also, Bluetooth shares the same range of radio frequency spectrum as Wi-Fi and microwave oven.
The MRI photo below indicates where the brain tumour developed into the size of a golf ball. Exactly between two ears.
