  • Big iMessage redesign rumored for iOS 17

    I don’t usually have any complaints about apple, but they should consider fixing the iMessage issue about sending SMS texts with a VPN. It’s maddening.

  • Rare Pegasus screenshots depict NSO Group's spyware capabilities

    Huh.

    The Israeli police force spying on Israeli citizens without oversight is bad - but everyone else is apparently fair game.

    With friends like that ...
    Well…they are the most important people in the world. And haven’t seemed to learn anything from the pain and suffering they encountered in WWII. Just ask any Palestinian.

  • EU about to finalize law that would require Apple to use USB-C on iPhones

    What a stupid waste of time for government. Having many different types of charges on cell phones is annoying, but it’s such a small dumb thing. Instead of working important problems, government is using its immense power to solve a tiny annoyance. 

    It’s bcoz the entire generation of adults are only capable of dealing with the splashy headlines or the homepage of a website and NONE have any interest in diving into the details. I’m a part of this generation. I worked in graphic design for decades and I have come to this conclusion. They don’t want to deal with the actual solution of real problems, they’re passing them along to future generations. 

    Here in San Francisco, one of my work colleagues called the mayor’s office and asked a pointed question about the homeless population (I’m in social work, and don’t think enough is being done in terms of addressing the details of the problem)—the response from the mayors office, “we inherited the problem…”

    that tells me all I need to know about the effectiveness of government.

  • Apple's Director of Machine Learning exits over return-to-office policy

    What a great time for apple to turn this into a win for itself, it’s employees and the general workforce. Apple should say, “hey, losing all these good employees bcoz we can’t budge on our RTW Policy isn’t worth it, so maybe we can compromise…”

    seems to me perhaps apple (and business in general) doesn’t trust their employees integrity much. Maybe it’s time to let go of that extremely outdated work ethic. I think we’re seeing the American workforce has had a taste of what a real “work/life balance,” actually looks like and they really like it. Good for company moral and good for employee production and ultimately good for the company.
