  • Parent angry Apple didn't stop 10-year-old's $2,500 TikTok spree

    ddawson100ddawson100
    I've heard from so many parents who have had a problem with surprise in-app purchases by their kids. The parents clearly had an opportunity to stop this at the device that had access to the credit card and if teaching or supervising and the kid didn't seek permission and the device wasn't set up to block things then, welp, there's a lot of opportunities to prevent that. Kids get grounded, lose their device privileges, or something else. 

    This story is about someone seeking more avenues to recover their money once a bad mistake was made. For that kind of money I'd try multiple ways to claw back the money, too. I wish this sensational story included something about the other things they tried. Arguably, the things that made e-commerce take off in the United States is the policy that protects consumers via their credit card companies backed by the weight of federal laws. If someone's in a position to help and they refuse to that looks bad on them. 

    It sounds to me like they're asking for help from I can see that they'd want Apple's help but the policies are well laid out and there are tools that must not have been used and it's not surprising that they don't get relief from them here.

  • Vietnam COVID outbreak delays iPhone 13 orders

    They've been one of the stars throughout the pandemic with near-nonexistent cases but with delta and low vaccination rates cases have had a chance to explode. They were doing such a fantastic job and need to show us how to get this back under control. It looks like their 9 weeks in quarantine ends this week.

  • Apple's share price closes at new record high of $153.12

    Motley Fool thinks it’s due to the $5 billion increase that Google is paying Apple to stay the default iOS search engine. That makes a lot more sense than the gain from satellite connections to me.

  • Apple Silicon M1 24-inch iMac review: Computing power for the masses

    That chart is informative but can we make it easier to scan and see the differences between the two models? Something like:



    Just two cents from an avid reader.

  • Google Photos to end free unlimited storage on June 1, 2021

    Don't cry because it's going away. Smile because we've had it for this long. And crowdsourced their innovation in ML/AI and loose definition of ownership. Haha. Seriously though, I use it as a simple backup and this will drive me to iCloud storage and make an even more convincing argument for some Apple One tier.
