  • OpenCore Computer attempts sale of Hackintosh systems

    This brings up the question of why Apple is still using Intel CPUs when AMD CPUs are at a minimum comparable in terms of speed and cost. They're both x86 and both can run macOS so why is Apple sticking with Intel?


    They're not. Haven't you heard that Apple is going ARM?

    And from what I've read about AMD hackintoshes, there are some compatibility issues with AMD running certain software.

    This is not fishy at all.

    Some company demanding payment only in bitcoin selling an illegal machine and the company/criminals don't even have a contact address.

    Anybody dumb enough to order one of these deserves to be scammed.

    Many Apple stores have been looted and cleared out completely 100%.

    It's strange that there has been no stories about that yet.

    There is usually a weekly Apple crime story, and surely this qualifies as big news.
    Well, AI's main page has an article but comments are disabled. Can't have opposing opinions about whether the violence is understandable. One question has never been answered when Apple stores are robbed is whether the products looted (specifically iOS products) can be used by the thieves. I have never seen a for-sure answer. If not then the thieves/looters can only fence the products to chop shops  for parts, right?
    Yes, I saw that article. It was added shortly after my comment.

    I do believe that Apple stores have various added security protections for their in store items. I found this article from a while back.

    A source tells us that the current special OS images on demo devices include a software ‘kill switch’ which disables them when they go out of range of the store Wi-Fi. This means that Apple no longer has to use Find My iPhone to disable them manually.

  • Samsung unveils Apple Card competitor dubbed 'Samsung Money by SoFi'

    Samsung has actually picked a smart strategy here. They limit reliance on partners like Goldman Sachs, and not being a credit card means there are more potential users in future.
    That's not smart. People who can't get a credit card are not exactly a lucrative or desirable customer group.

    Time to hit them back in that case and return the favor.
