  • Every Intel Mac mini is now obsolete or vintage, and will be missed

    Intel deservedly deserved the boot.  I won't miss Intel on Macs.   What I will do is continue to keep my 2018 Mac Mini for the long, foreseeable future for those rare times I need to run x86 Windows natively.  That's it.  Other than that, it's Apple Silicon to the rescue!

    Sounds like a great time for Apple to do a massive stock buyback.

    Mods... get rid of these political BS comments.  If I want that, I'll go to CNN or Fox News.  
    Exactly how much cash you think Apple has on hand?
    A lot.  Is there point to your post?

    "As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to look before we leap,'" executive producer and star Sudeikis said in the release, "in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be."

    What a bizarre message.  I predict this will continue the final season trajectory of the show to the absolute pits.
    I got about 2 episodes into S3 and quit. Season 2 was already nowhere near season one - having the 50-something team owner sleeping with an early 20's player was a true WTF plot concept, and had it been man/woman instead of woman/man, that would have been quite differently handled - and 3 was just unwatchable.

    OTOH, Slow Horses is excellent.
    I stopped watching at the end of Season 2.  It was a mess and felt like they were just trying to ride off the popularity of season 1.  Have zero desire to watch season three and four.

  • Highway toll text scams are on the rise, and Apple can't completely stop them

    Ironically, as I was reading this article on my iPhone, I got a toll-scam text message exactly like what was listed in the article.

    I hope someone out there hunts these people down.  China or not, there's a special place in Hell for these degenerates.
