  • Apple's Magic Mouse charging port design has never been a big deal

    hammeroftruthhammeroftruth
    I guess the joke is on me because I really never liked any of Apple’s mouse designs and only used the adb version back in the day. The rest of the time I would buy a Logitech, or gasp, a Microsoft wireless mouse and load the drivers for MacOS to use the other button. Heresy you say? Well maybe, but I need to get shit done and want a real 2nd button and scroll wheel.

    I think it could be mostly true. CEOs are kind of like dictators so dealing with real dictators is often more comfortable for them than dealing with democratic governments, even if they might not like the dictator personally or agree with all of their policies. 
    Sure, you can speculate anyway you like.  But since Trump is such a confirmed liar, there's no credible evidence that it happened.
    It’s implausible to me that Trump would have known about the issues if he hadn’t talked to Cook. I also find it very believable that the CEO of a major company like Apple would talk to both party’s nominees.

    i like Apple and Cook, but I think you guys are kidding yourselves. 
    If that is true, then how did Appleinsider uncover it when it happened? Maybe because it was news, big news. We found out thanks to this site how the EU acquiesced to Epic and Spotify’s claim of abuse and decided to fine Apple. Maybe DJT just found out about it and spun this old man’s whopper tale that a CEO would call a FORMER president or if he was still president when it happened, then why didn't he do anything or say anything about it then?
    Pure 🐎💩.

  • Russian YouTubers keep showing off alleged M4 MacBook Pros in historic Apple leak

    I can’t help but believe that this is a complete fake. There’s no way that two Russian influencers got their hands on two Macs that haven’t even been introduced to the market! Even the associates haven’t even been introduced to them yet. I think it’s much more likely that they’re searching for eyes on their channels. 
    Especially if you look closely at the label. The fonts for the model number dont match up with the rest of the label and there is some strange smudging at the bottom of the label on romance’s YouTube short. Apple labels don’t smudge and if you think it could be wear marks from the shipping, then why are they only there and they don’t match the marker color either.

  • Teardown shows AirPods 4 still unfixable by the public

    SO... which brand of wireless earbuds are fixable by the general public? Go ahead, I'll wait... 


    Listen: I realize that the Right to Repair niche and the iFixIt gang would like to return us to the 1960s and Radio Shack, but the vast majority of consumers have voted otherwise with their wallets. So give it a rest! Hey, I remember the days when I could do most of my own repair work on my car, now impossible because most car functionalities are computer monitored and controlled, but the car I drive today is FAR more reliable than the self-repairable cars of my youth. 
    There is literally a computer in all modern cars that diagnoses the problem for you.
    If you're talking about OBD, that's a pretty vague diagnosis on a lot of issues. I had it give me an oxygen sensor error on a 2006 mustang when the real issue was a bad alternator thanks to YouTube. 
    Nowadays, dealers and manufacturers have a new shell game where they have another computer that controls stuff that you can't access. In my Ford it was called a junction box.

  • Trump demanding that Apple must unlock shooter's iPhones because of foreign apps

    hammeroftruthhammeroftruth
    Apple's refusal to unlock the phones from the San Bernardino attack in 2015 was the first high-profile case. The FBI paid a large sum to Cellbrite to bypass Apple's security, but it's unclear if they found anything useful. This incident sparked a debate about whether there should be a backdoor into Apple's security, especially in light of concerns about government surveillance.
