Alexa tells 10-year-old girl to touch live electrical socket with penny

UK plugs may be massive by comparison, but they are massively safer by design. Genius design.
Nope, US plugs are much safer. If you step on a US plug, it's going to hurt. If you step on a UK plug, that horrible thing is GOING THROUGH YOUR FOOT. Horrible design.

Apple Acoustics VP hints that Bluetooth could be holding back AirPods
Wait, you mean Bluetooth can't deliver the same audio quality as a wire? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

Lower-priced Apple external display rumored to be on the way
shareef777 said:The best display is the XDR and it’s not meant for people in general, it’s meant for professionals. Just because it’s not sold in volumes doesn’t mean higher end (low volume) products shouldn’t be made. The average monitor today is 2k one going for ~$500. Apple offering a “lower cost” smaller XDR at $2500 doesn’t fit that average, not even on the high end. The high end consumer monitor is a monster 49 inch curved one by Samsung and it “only” goes for $2000.An M1 iMac sans Mac parts is EXACTLY what people would go for. $700 for the 24”, $1000 for a 27”, and $1500 for a 32”.No, it's not meant for professionals. I work with video professionals, folks who do TV stuff that there's a decent chance you've seen.They don't have monitors like that ridiculous $5000 Apple screen.Those are for rich idiots.

opinion said:Half the price is still to high. Sometimes I think that there is no point in making the best products if people can’t afford them.10% of the price is still too high. $350 would be about reasonable for a good 27" monitor, you can get a nice 27" 4K LG for about that.I suppose Apple might charge $500 for a monitor about that quality, but it would be a ripoff. -
Klobuchar defends bill that would bar Big Tech from preferring their own services
How does anybody claim with a straight face that something like this that will obviously help consumers could possibly 'hurt consumers'?Oh, right. Bribery.
