  • Open letter asks Apple not to implement Child Safety measures

    This is admirable and I like the intention behind it. But to plays devils advocate. I bring up that this technique. Maybe. Possibly. Could be adapted for other kinds of data. Say emails. Text messages. Let’s say it becomes an API or baked in feature. What if that feature gets hijacked? By a hacker, or a government? To search for anti-state speech in China, or even industrial espionage. This is a Pandora’s box that couldn’t ever be shut.

  • Spotify abandons AirPlay 2 support [u]

    So they pay artists less per stream and make excuses plus refuse help in order to justify treating iOS devices (a market leader) like second class citizens. Welp, sounds like it’s time to look at Apple Music.

    I had a regional manager, whom I asked to keep my concerns private until we met in person, meet with my direct manager behind my back. Apple doesn’t care to change the secret sauce unless it’s forced to.

  • M1 MacBook owners complain about easily cracked screens

    iadlibiadlib
    The comments on this thread are by-and-large bonkers. You’re defending a corporation who has had questionable business practices over the years, from the way they treat their employees to lobbying against right-to-repair. Mind boggling. 

    Let me give you an example as a former employee, of Apple’s BS: I had a 17 inch MacBook pro and it developed bowing on the lower bezel of the aluminum display. 

    As a Mac genius (at the time) we all knew that the display assembly was too heavy for the hinges and the stress manifested along the lower bezel after normal use of opening and closing the display. 

    So I assumed that I could send it to the repair depot without worry. Because everyone knew about this issue. Instead the repair depot folks said it was “accidental damage” and when I explained everything they called my manager and accused me of using my employee status to get “preferential” treatment. 

    Y’all. Believe people when they say there’s an issue. This is just one example of the BS. Go on with your idiocy.
