  • Apple hires labor-busting lawyers to fight employees' efforts to unionize

    Gotta love the hypocrisy of these tech companies!

  • Apple claps back at UK report it claims would force it to 'redesign the iPhone'

    Apple: “We want big government”
    also Apple: “We don’t want it for us, we are excluded. We want big government for everyone else.”

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max supports faster 27W charging, but only temporarily

    It's my understanding that even with Apple's battery-saving tech, charging batteries that fast tends to degrade them faster.  I don't understand the difficulty in just charing them with a humble 5-watt charger overnight while one is sleeping.  I have an external battery pack to charge my devices when traveling when there are minimal charging options.
    This: though I try and restrict my charge to between 20-70% so I charge while I’m awake. I’ve got the Apple MagSafe pack and an older Anker stick if needed. Either is casually pocketable though I’m coming to really like the no cable of the MagSafe pack if not it’s inefficiency and slowness. 

    Does the strategy work? Well my bought at release iPhone 12 Pro Max currently has a battery health reading of 92%…
    I do none of that with my iPhone 12 Pro Max that I got on launch day. It’s at 92% too. Lol. Absolutely trash my iPhone battery between 100 and 0. Don’t do much charging beyond 12W though. 

    I do try to care for my laptop batteries in a manner similar to what you’ve noted.

  • Apple not a monopoly but must allow alternate payment methods for apps, judge rules

    Apple likes and pushes for big government along with regulation. 

    Dear Apple, let me introduce you to big government. 

    Awesome. It’s their turn.

  • Apple employees ask Tim Cook to take action on workplace issues

    This legit warms my heart. Right wrong or indifferent. Apple is a liberal company and talks the talk. It’s time they walk the walk. This goes for dealing with these people, whether their claims are legitimate or not and paying more taxes. It stands to reason (at least according to their liberal views) the biggest company in the US pays a 75% tax rate. 

    Oh, they need more regulation. Just to be clear, it’s not my view that they need more regulation, at least yet; however, they want big government, time to give it to em. 

    I personally believe much of America’s success in the past has been poor regulation early in the development of a technology/business. The regulation is better off coming later (although there is a cost for that too). That cost used to be human life, seems like it’s privacy now.
