  • Trump signs executive order banning TikTok, WeChat on Sept. 20


    We’ve been in a trade war for decades but prior administrations refused to identify it as such. The democrats banned TikTok before the president did. What say you on that? Obama has started far more physical confrontations in his term than Trump yet you want to project Trump as some kind of war monger. America is waking up and becoming stronger, sorry you don’t like that.  :D
    It only took 11 posts before someone turned the focus to the Democrats. If the Democrats already banned TikTok then why does Trump need to do it now. If you are going to make a claim like this please include a link to the specific banning you are referring to. Without that, your claim is no better than Fake News. Not saying you are wrong but when you change the focus, you need more than words. Especially if your claim is illogical.

  • Home automation company Wink under fire for surprise subscription mandate [u]

    I don’t own a Wink hub. But looking at their website it appears they mostly support automating other companies hardware. Ring and Nest for examples. So if I don’t want to pay for the subscription I can still manage all my devices with the native apps provided by the hardware manufacturers. The way the story reads to me is everyone is going to have a box full unusable hardware that has the Wink name on it. Looks like a hub is all you will have wasted your money on. Since I am not a Wink customer, someone correct me if I am wrong.  This is why I never have purchased any hardware that required a hub to operate, with the exception of Homekit compatible.  I know Apple will be around for a long time and it is extremely unlikely that they will ever tell me I have to pay a subscription fee to them to use my Apple TV. I think Wink just decided to delay having to file bankruptcy.

  • Apple investigating reinforced plastic as case material for future Apple Watch

    My concern is the constant microwave radiation on the wrist.  We now live in a soup of radiation from radio, TV, cell phones, GPS, Wi-Fi,  etc.  The higher the frequency (5G), the more damaging to tissue.  Children are the most sensitive/vulnerable.
     
    Several years ago an article appeared about a woman who kept her cellphone in her bra near her neck.  That is exactly where she developed cancer.

    Where have these masks been for the last month? Why are they just being donated now? Why does Apple have 9m?
