  • SuperMicro server spy chip story returns, with no more proof than before

    Do I believe Appleinsider or Bloomberg that China is attempting to use every possible means to spy on Americans, steal our data and IP? Mmm. Even if the finer details are in question when I look at their spying on their own citizens, their murderous treatment of Uighurs, the suppression of democracy in Hong Kong etc. and the idea that China is not trying every possible means to subvert and steal from the US is laughable. And it sounds like Biden will continue Trump’s crackdown on them. It is time to take the pain and break off our business relationships with them and bring manufacturing back to the US and let them try become a superpower without stealing from us.

  • Google's reluctance to add privacy labels to Gmail, other apps might put users at risk [u]...

    I’m confused, why is their own app issuing this warning? I don’t use it, but I assume that’s server-side generated web content rendered in the app?
    They probably don’t want users to know that they are compromising their privacy  - for instance, maybe scanning emails to feed you ads or selling your private data gleaned from emails to third parties. What else would make them delay updating this information? I use the app every day BTW but don’t have any personal information that would concern me if it was publically revealed! :smile:

  • Prepear revises logo to settle Apple trademark dispute

    @cg27 ; Tell that to the employee who was laid off over such a ridiculous claim and minor change.

  • Apple Maps gets crowdsourced accident, speed check and hazard warnings in iOS 14.5 beta

    Funny how it was a “feature” according to people here that it didn’t allow you to make reports, see user reported speed checkpoints etc. when I mentioned once that it was a glaring omission in the app. Will go a long way to closing the gap with GMaps.

  • Intel swipes at Apple Silicon with selective benchmark claims

    Intel’s hubris is made worse by the fact that Apple has never selectively highlighted facts that make them look better than their competition!!! (/s for those
    of you with your jock strap too tight to miss it). While interesting, the reality is that we are 7 months into a 24 month transition with a first gen chip. Once major software from companies like Adobe are fully transitioned we will know the real world results. If this transition is what it takes to move Intel along then it is a win for a lot of people and companies not just Apple users. And if accurate, they will force Apple to work even harder!
