    So, have the old rumors of the always-on displays been discarded? Or just forgotten?

    What an absolutely awful idea.  I don't want to have to put my phone in a drawer just to be able to sleep.

    Still using multiple Mac Mini 10.12.6 servers as AFP, CalDAV, Web (http links for clients), Open Directory and VPN services for our company. Works great. Especially for remote clients who can't log in by using SMB has multiple ISP's block that port.

    That's getting more and more dangerous, unfortunately.  We have no idea how many remote exploits exist, but it's not zero.

    I'm still doing it, but I'd recommend transitioning your VPN and web to something else and putting those old Mac servers behind a firewall for internal users.

    There's no substitute for CalDAV that works as well.  I wish I had one.

    I wish they'd hurry it up.  It's insane that Apple is still using proprietary ports in 2022, and if it takes legislation to force them to stop, then the world needs that legislation.

    We were told Russia had the most advanced and powerful military in the world. Then we were told most of Russia’s army is composed of conscripts. Apparently those conscripts are complete dumb asses when it comes to technology. And why aren’t the generals and field commanders aware of this tracking ability?

    Haven't you seen the dead general list lately?  It's currently at 7 confirmed and 2 more probable.

    And given there were reportedly 20 Russian generals sent to Ukraine... that's an astonishing loss rate even for an incompetent military like Russia.

  • Johny Srouji says the Apple Silicon strategy challenged Apple

    And it is still stupid.

    Apple should have added AMD models, not used souped-up phone chips in computers.
