  • New Apple TV Siri Remote incompatible with some tvOS games

    seankillseankill
    The apple TV siri remote was always a POS. Had 2 because one of my ATVs died (wasnt happy about that). We've managed to break both remotes on the tile. Using glass for a remote is not wise. I had a feeling they would make, and was hoping for, a remote just like this one. Going to preorder it next week.

    I think the ATV sucks for games but the controller was definitely a hard suck

  • Gen Z loves Apple, teen iPhone ownership on the rise

    Total side note

    The tidepod generation. While they are busy making videos, I was busy learning to work and run my own small lawn business. 

    It is concerning the suicidal and depression rate in the younger generations. Including the millennials (my generation).  I think getting off cell phones and social media would positively impact that.

  • MacBook Butterfly keyboard lawsuit granted class-action status

    No matter how much R&D and beta testing are done, no product is problem-proof once millions start using it "in the field." The real question is how a company responds to those problems. I've been using Apple computers since 1992 and have had two products with issues during that time: my 2009 iMac and my 2015 MacBook 12'. The iMac developed screen splotches (which were an issue on that model) quite a while after my AppleCare had expired. Apple replaced the whole screen anyway, free of charge. Then the hard drives in that iMac began showing signs of early failure. Again, I was long out of AppleCare by that time, and even though my HD was still problem-free, Apple again replaced it at no charge. With my MacBook 12", I started having a sticky keys issue with the butterfly keyboard about 6 months after AppleCare expired, but Apple still replaced the whole bottom case of my MacBook at no charge. 

    Bottom line: when Apple does discover an issue once a product is out to consumers, they've always done right by me in terms of fixing it at no cost. 

    Apple told me to go F myself to the tune of 368$ to replace the screen on my 15 month old 2012 MacBook Pro retina. 3 months outside of the warranty, the screen had horrible ghosting. A <30 second stagnant image would take a minute+ to disappear. The issue was pretty talked about before I bought it. Despite my reluctance, I was assured this was an isolated issue. Bought it at the end of August. Found it had the infamous LG panel. I should have returned it that day and just kept ordering them until I got a Samsung panel.
    when that happened, I recreated the issues on 4/5 other MacBook pros. Only 1 with a Samsung screen (the working one). To be fair, they were display units but you never see that issue on iPhones. 

    That, coupled with the POS keyboard on the 2016s, I bought a PC desktop to replace the MacBook as my main driver and not sure I’ll be going back to mac anytime soon. To be fair, the 2012 still works well now when on the go for light work.

  • Lawsuit over refurbished Apple service replacements heading to trial in August

    If it fails in 3 months..... I want a new one (because I bought a NEW phone). After that, refurb is fine.
