Seagate Expansion 8TB external hard drive review: No frills storage in need of USB-C
Can we discuss the elephant in the room. If you connect this directly to your Mac, it’s going to slow down things considerably. I have a similar HDD for media files and Time Machine backups. Problem is that the drive spins down after a while and when I access Spotlight it will freeze until the drive spins up again.This, combined with USB-A and Micro USB, and I don’t see how this is a good choice for Mac users in 2022. -
Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch
mike54 said:Its not about child protection, it all about getting US Gov surveillance software framework on Apple devices and Apple's best bet on getting this accepted is to use CSAM as the excuse. Their multi-million dollar privacy campaign, in the attempt to distinguish them from Google Android, is washed down the toilet with this single act.
And would the US gov not need to pass a law to make this mandatory? Or keep it a secret so no one knows.But only Apple combined with a public announced makes it completely unlikely the US gov is behind this. -

Apple capitulates to Russia laws requiring preinstalled software on iPhone, Mac
9secondkox2 said:China will be next.Precedent has been set.And with the current admin, you know the USA will be going down this path as well.Truly sad day.Trump already in 2018 argued that Amazon, Facebook and Google represent a very antitrust situation. So your remark about the current administration frames your story in a way that is inaccurate.Nobody wants companies to fail, but if they become too big and create monopolies, there’s a real issue that needs to be addressed. That’s economics 101. It’s not like Apple will lose customers over this move: a company needs to follow local regulations. Period.A screen with local app suggestions is not necessarily a bad thing (if there nothing more to it). If it can stimulate local apps, why not. I rather use a local European Facebook, Google or Amazon, instead of the US versions that spy on me and funnel money out the country.
