Holding out hope for a Mac nano in an Apple TV form factor with an A14X CPU and 8 GB of RAM for $299. Jobs would have done this without hesitation as it would be the single most disruptive product Apple could bring to market in order to emphasize Apple Silicon's dominance over Intel. Timid Tim probably would reject the idea because it is different or something.

The Siri remote is absolutely the worst remote control I have ever used. One half of it is a touch surface that does undefined things when you touch it. There are no lights. It feels the same when you pick it up from either end in the dark. It is super small so it likes to slip down between the seats. The buttons are almost flush with the surface and arranged in a way that makes it hard to tell what you are pressing in the dark. It seems to have been designed by someone that does not have a home theater.

If it is dirt (ear wax) you can clean it yourself with "blu-tack" type adhesive. Just squeeze it into the grills and it will pull away with all the dirt attached. Worked like a charm for mine.

This is not exactly what Apple promised when they heavily promoted the T2 chip, is it? Thus far the T2 has caused only problems on my computers. I have to turn it off or disable several of its features to simply boot from an external drive or debug certain projects. It appears that new Apple Silicon Macs will lose the ability to boot another operating system entirely which is a huge loss of functionality. After all the headaches, we find that the T2 chip had an un-patchable backdoor put in by Apple itself making me wonder what the point was in the first place? Was the T2 just a way for users to feel secure while proving governments with a secret way into any device?

"They are judge, jury, and executioner on their platform, and you can take it or leave it."
Yea but we knew that before we even started developing our apps, right? It sucks but we agreed that Apple was king of the App Store. The right thing to do is to talk to your congresscritter about it and see if they can get Apple to change the rules because they are not going to do it on their own.
