How to work with, edit, and share HEIC images without data loss
I disagree with the statement HEIC images are of better quality. I hate the compression artifacts produced by HEIC and there is no setting to control the compression amount on the iPhone so I turned it off and use old JPEG, which is not great but still less eye-offending.

Apple's Mac mini now inexcusably getting trounced by cheap Intel hardware
I have been an all-Apple person for 20+ years starting with PowerMac 6100AV. Never owned a PC. I purchased NUC7i5BNK a couple of weeks ago because Mac mini is such a disgrace these days. I needed a small form factor machine and I got tired of waiting for Apple to update their Mac hardware. If Apple cannot handle their computer division maybe they should spin-off the Mac subsidiary.

Apple responds to latest WikiLeaks CIA document dump, says iPhone and Mac exploits fixed
The vulnerabilities are "alleged" even if we fixed them. So our fixes could also be called "alleged" by extension. Our lawyers tell us to use "alleged" in every sentence because it is so much cooler and they need to earn their living.

Apple polling MacBook Pro owners on use of headphone jack, other ports
Not many people know that this connection is dual: analog and optical. I use optical connection every day for several hours. I am all for digital replacement but I dread AirPlay over WiFi because this thing sucks impossibly. [begin rant] I take no pleasure in listening to stuttering sound every time I enter a search term in Safari, which triggers multiple HTTP connections and kills the streaming. Apple, please why on earth in 21st century it is impossible to cache the whole darn song when streaming from MacBook Pro to AppleTV 4 with 64GB memory so it won't stutter when the network slows down? Before you ask, yes I use Apple Airport Extreme N. [end rant]sergioz said:Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't apple audio port is compatible with the TOSLINK system which is still capable of carrying up to 7.1 channels of very high-resolution audio? Although for the majority of consumer setups, there will be absolutely no discernible difference between audio quality when using an HDMI cable or a TOSLINK cable, but yeah I am ready to throw away aging analog audio port. Some of my DJ friends are really concerned, but they'll have to adapt!
