  • Apple Music rolls out to Tesla cars in holiday software update

    No CarPlay = just one more reason my next car will NOT be a Tesla.

    It's a shame, really.  I mean, I don't care about "panel gaps" and such, but proprietary charge ports and a complete asshole running the company are a no-go for a car.

    Oh, and no gauge cluster on the semi-affordable models.  That's a biggie too.

  • 'Inadequate' AirTag anti-stalking features lead to lawsuit

    Typical reaction of somebody with less than half a brain.
    They could of course also sue the car manufacturer for having a space in which you can put an AirTag.
    While they're at it, why not sue knife manufacturers for making it possible to stab somebody ?
    No doubt there are many more possibilities...

    Hey, somebody could sue gun makers for making it possible to shoot somebody.  Oh, wait, they actually had to pass a federal law to stop assholes from doing exactly that.

    I'm not usually on Apple's side in most lawsuits.  But this one is stupid, Apple went out of their way to make these things less usable for stalking.  Trackers build for the purpose of stalking somebody exist and are on the market.  That's not what a AirTag is.

  • Apple's mixed-reality headset rumored to arrive in late 2023

    darkvaderdarkvader
    Apple can't even build a VR headset and release it on time.

    How does anybody think they can actually build a car?

    It is probably about time Apple accepted a tad lower margin in order to produce in countries that aren’t fascist.
    They are not Fascist, they are Communist. Fascism is Right-Wing and Communism is Left Wing. The two are polar opposites.
    China is not communist, they are fascist.  The Nazis called themselves socialist, didn't mean they were.  China has a very right-wing government.

    Maybe the future of social media is one social media engine used exclusively by conservatives, and a different one used exclusively by socialists. Companies with a political agenda will use only one of these two engines, and they won't even advertise on the engine that doesn't suit their own political agenda. Neutral companies may never be allowed to advertise on either platform because they will be banned by each platform if they advertise on the other platform.

    Basically, you have to pick your side before you can interact with anyone on the Internet. Ultimately, socialists will have their own nationwide VPN and conservatives will be forced to have their own too. This will finally bring peace to the Internet. At least nobody will argue about politics anymore because everyone will be on their own political VPN.
    So anyone who is not "conservative" is by your definition a socialist? Not the best way to encourage respectful and honest exchange of ideas. Have fun with the pillow guy.
    I know, right?  The Democratic Party is for the most part a center-right party.

    As an actual democratic socialist, the claims of the far right would be laughable if they weren't so dangerous.
