  • Meta's 11,000 job cuts may be only the beginning

    Now if we can just get rid of all the wasteful paper ads sent through the USPS, our real mail might be delivered on time and millions of trees could be saved. Do any of you actually read these ads, usually from grocery stores for me, or do you immediately dump them in your recycling bin? Electronic and internet ads are the same thing. 
    Just walk away, I beg you!

    I highly disagree with adding an SD card when they could have added an extra USB port. Why please 2% of your users when you can have pleased 98%? This is Apple
    going backwards post-Jony.

    You can always find a USB-C to SD adapter but try to find an SD Card to USB-C Cable.
    You don’t need another USB port now that they brought back MagSafe and have built in hdmi. 
    That freed up two ports.

  • Apple Car project troubled by management demos and uncertain schedule

    I wouldn’t put too much stock in a former Uber self-driving engineer’s opinion. Apple’s project may or may not be in trouble, but at least it hasn’t killed anyone like Uber’s has. 

    Maybe that’s why he’s a “former” self-driving engineer.

  • Simply Mac bankruptcy: Who to call, what happened, and why

    Thankfully, there are still some small mom and pop repair shops that perform out of warranty repairs or repairs Apple doesn’t want to. That’s how Apple is kept honest when technicians discover flaws that Apple would rather keep quiet or blame the end user for causing like the 6+ logic board issue or the short video cable on MacBook Pros that they denied for years. 

    This is one of the reasons why Apple has the problem of its retail employees wanting to unionize. You get rid of the authorized repair shops and now everyone has to go to the Apple Store, yet you don’t plan on hiring more employees or paying a higher wage in order to meet such high demand. You can’t have it both ways.

  • Apple Watch credited with helping save Australian kayaker lost at sea

    Curious as to whether he had his phone with him or the watch had phone service. 
    It probably used GPS to send the emergency signal and sent his lat and long.
