  • 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.
    If that were the case, wouldn’t Google also be planning this?

    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 officially pulls iMac Pro from its online storefront

    My 2015 iMac has become unusable since upgrading to Big Sur. Turns out their flagship OS is incompatible with Fusion Drives causing huge performance issues. I’m very disappointed they don’t even care.

  • Trump expects Apple to build manufacturing plant in Texas

    Funny to read how misguided people are. The US did not lose jobs to China. Globalisation was invented by and for US companies to become wealthy. They became rich and powerful because of it. And the Republican Party was happy to go along. 

    Off course only a small percentage of the population gained anything in the process. But you get what you bargained for. And republicans now pack peddling under the current nationalistic wave? That’s a joke.

  • Netflix kills in-app subscription option for iPhone & iPad users

    Don't bite the Apple that feeds you.

    This may be an early move is desperation due to Apples coming service.

    I hope Apples service dominates like everything else Apple does. Couldn't care if Netflix became the next Nokia.
    So you want Netflix to fail because they don’t want to give Apple 30/15% cut? How is that good for anybody?
    Yes I do.

    Do you think Walmart does not deserve a cut of everything they offer?

    If I were Apple I'd kick them off my platform.
    I think at this point this would hurt Apple more than it would Netflix.

  • Apple's HomePod has similar market share to high-end Echo Plus, Google Home Max

    Not interested in the HomePod as long as it doesn’t support multiple users.
