    For "    parrot", substitute "CSAM".

    Interesting. The obvious question is this: how inefficient is it?

    $399 is quite high for this market. This does have some nice innovative features, but I could definitely forgo them.
    It's not. Look at any Lenovo or Dell business docking station, they all are in the $350-$499 market, and have significantly less features. The ONE thing I'm missing from this is ethernet. I'm also very curious if this actually supports dual monitors on a Mac too, something I doubt since it's not Thunderbolt and macOS does not support DisplayPort MST, otherwise, this is a very, very attractive product for me to work from home.
    I noted the missing ethernet too. But a USB-C to ethernet adapter ought to take care of that, if a little inelegantly.

  • EFF urges Apple to drop CSAM tool plans completely

    Does anyone actually think CSAM isn't dead as a doornail at this point? 

    Yeah, I know what Apple said, but that's about as convincing as an accused politician resigning "to spend more time with my family."

  • Apple Watch potentially saved Boston man's life twice

    I keep triggering the fall detection while working in the garage or yard. Have probably told the watch at least half a dozen times that no, I haven't fallen. Still think its's a good feature though.

    I'd like to say that maybe I'm just too active, but my wife would roll her eyes at that.
