Who else read the Foundation series when they were young? Hours sitting up in bed into the late hours reading Asimov, Doc E. Smith and others. Very, very fond memories of days before the Net and personal devices (including PCs).

Encountered this Chart today under a page heading of:

Tesla isn’t the only company millennials are betting on

at https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-tsla-stock-millennial-investors-top-10-list/



I found number 9 interesting in terms of their component business rather than whole systems/devices. Tesla is on a tear too.

Bottom line: If you use an iDevice and a Mac then make sure FoleVault 2 is enabled on your Mac and that all your backups are sent, encrypted, to that Mac, and that each device uses strong passcodes.

I recommend using the long-press on iOS/iPadOS and the Option key on macOS to create a much stronger password.

Bottom line: If your Mac or iPhone is taken by police or federal authorities, then you shouldn't have been doing bad $h1t in the first place. 

In the 1930s in Germany and other parts of Europe, just being Jewish was 'bad $h1t'. Who decides?

Unless you need to be spied on more, never hook a TV to the Internet unless maybe for firmware updates. (In which case, Airplay 2 and HomeKit support are irrelevant--just use an Apple TV.)

I wondered whether all of the Google and Amazon services could be turned off. I've recently bought a 4k Apple TV, very happy with it.

Good! If consumers want something other than Apple Pay, they can buy a different device. Simple.

It's at the point in Australia where you're pretty safe to go shopping, eating and clubbing without taking a physical credit card. You can make almost all (if not absolutely all) payments from an Apple watch. Public transport is the hold-out. I guess that competition doesn't exist in the sector, hence the lack of imperative to modernize.

In NSW Apple Pay is accepted on trains/lightrail, busses and ferries (and of course taxis) - which state's public transport service is the hold out? (https://transportnsw.info/tickets-opal/opal/contactless-payments)

One can purchase public transport tickets probably everywhere using Apple Pay and of course, pay for taxis. However, in some states, direct payment (at the gate) with Apple Pay isn't possible. When ticket inspections occur on trains in NSW, how does one demonstrate having paid the fare (without a ticket or transit card)?
