Reddit's largest Apple community will stay dark, as CEO promises to ride out shutdowns
radarthekat said:Did I miss an announcement? Has Elon taken over Reddit? LolIt's not the elongated muskrat himself, but it's rat-like behavior.Reddit is trying to go public. They want to maximize the appearance of revenue to get a high IPO price, so they're trying to charge unworkable amounts for 3rd party apps that don't actually make any money and can't possibly afford to pay.Big groups going dark will help prevent that from working like they want it to, the stock will be worthless. And because of Reddit's bad behavior, that's actually what we all want to happen.

Apple will not buy Disney, no matter how often it hears that it will
Microsoft DID NOT "invest" to "save Apple". Microsoft was settling with Apple because they'd gotten caught copying QuickTime code into Video for Windoze.neillwd said:Maybe not buy them, but invest like Microsoft did to save Apple. Disney is in deep financial trouble with the approaching requirement to buy Hulu. And the streaming losses.

Apple accidentally releases public iOS 17 beta early [u]
Ok, it's installed.It seems fine. The new features are about as exciting as I expected them to be (which means they aren't).It doesn't seem significantly slower, so there's that. As always with betas, the first thing you have to do is go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements and make sure you turn off everything.I haven't noticed any stability problems yet. It's probably safe to disregard the dire warnings and go ahead. I mean, I'm not putting it on my primary iPhone, but my primary iPhone is an 8+, so I don't think it'll even run it.

Maxed-out Apple Silicon Mac Pro costs 1/4 what a maxed Intel one did
Less RAM, no GPU upgrades.NOT impressed. Honestly not even sure why Apple bothered.
