  • iPhone 15 overheat complaints are inconsistent, and it's unclear what's going on

    What's "going on" is that after transferring to a new phone, there are massive sync operations happening through iCloud, that take hours and sometimes days. We have the same fucking complaints of "low battery life" and "overheating" every single year. 

    People are just fucking desperate to invent a new "-gate" for each phone, and it gets harder each time.

  • Ex-Apple employee files RICO lawsuit over whistleblower retaliation

    As soon as I saw this headline I knew it was probably this psychopath. She also claims Apple tried to poison her, among a litany of other insane allegations. I’ve read enough of her stuff to know she just, including her unhinged, nonsensical Twitter tirades. It’s sad that she gets the time of day and that even people on this site are cheering for this person who by all accounts seems malicious and unstable.

  • Apple guts internal communication tool, crippling union organization

    Mark of a great company: censorship and insecurity. 

    Bullshit. 

    If Apple isn't considered a "great" company, then what the fuck is? I'd love to know. It's probably the best company that exists today, all things considered. 

    Also, toxic and negative employees trying to stir up trouble can have a poisonous effect on a company and morale. You have no fucking idea as to the details, not every single action can be dismissed childishly as "censorship".

  • Let's get ready to rumble: Zuckerberg agrees to fight Musk in cage match

    One can only hope they take each other out, 2 birds with one stone. Both shitty people with shitty behaviour and visions.

  • Apple is working to reinvent the seatbelt for the Apple Car

    The current seatbelts we use are not broken. Why fix them?

    If we want to improve safety, we should focus on getting people to actually USE them. We all know people who buckle them before sitting down on top of them. They'll do the same thing with this particular "innovation." The way to do that is to figure out a clever ignition lock-out that won't let the car start until the drive is actually buckled in, not sitting atop a seatbelt. If anyone could figure that out, it's Apple. (And I don't mean those "passive restraint" belts we had in the '90s, before airbags. Everyone hated them.)

    You could say that about every single fucking product category before Apple entered that market and either completely reinvented it, or set a new bar that everyone scrambled to then meet. 

    Seatbelts are decades old, without a single change. Why do you think that's the best anyone can do? Don't we have better insights and tools and technology and knowledge now than we did when the seatbelt was 1st invented? Why not make it better? 

    Also, if someone doesn't want to wear a seatbelt, why should we worry about forcing them to protect themselves if they don't give a shit about their own safety? There's only so much you can do.
