  1. Are Apple's batteries not replaceable? I thought they were...
  2. Yeah, that's not sales. That's customer service following a script with no discretion or desire to escalate the issue.
  3. They done goofed. This is was the one limitation that is stopping me from buying an MBA a business machine
  4. Just imagine the ransomware people validating my recorded phone call and wondering how I covered all of the ICU expenses for $6.30
  5. The irony is that by making the password impossible to create and remember, you're actually making it less secure because the restrictions imposed reduce the total number of possibilities. But you do stop Murray the storeperson from creating the password 'chevysux'
  6. I honestly didn't think it was that bad... Compared to the i9s we had in the past. I was expecting 8-10k.
  7. They already have the iPad Mini and there are plenty of 3rd party accessories that add thumb sticks etc... They already have a range of gaming handheld devices.
  8. Up next: Apple introduces a new App store fee per download for apps that have external payment options.
  9. I mounted mine to the handlebars so that you can use GPS Navigation and caller ID with my wireless comms system
  10. No, you're right. McDonalds, who spent more than USD $1b on technology in FY2020 and believes that digital innovation is a key driver to their growth, hasn't considered cyber security and industry best-practices. /sarcasm
  11. Just because their primary product isn't tech related, doesn't mean that McDonalds doesn't contract out their tech to someone who should know better, or employ hundreds of people to manage their technology, networks and infrastructure, who should also know better. If this was a mum and dad job with 15 employees it might be excusable, but it's not.
  12. I would suggest that there is a probably a report somewhere saying that the most common devices used by pedophiles and those that abuse are iPhones, and that encryption and privacy is the reason they use the phones. They're getting wayyyyy ahead of the potential PR nightmare while still being able to provide some privacy (they'd always be the villain if they say they're protecting the privacy of pedophiles). That said, the way they're implementing the scanning sounds like if you used a 3rd party camera app, library, and messaging service it wouldn't be scanned and would be safe from prying eyes so I'm unsure how effective it would be. However, this whole thing is a complete guess, but it makes sense.
  13. Yeah, but the thing is... If you want the traditional approach it's still there. There's just a ton of different ways to play if you want to.
  14. I would doubt that they'll move to OLED now that they have mini-LED and it's already been implemented in the Pro Display XDR and Liquid Retina XDR displays. I gather they are likely to create segmentation using mini-LED displays and leave entry devices on their current excellent IPS technology.
  15. I feel like Intel has just annoyed someone in Apple who will now spend a lot of time, money, and effort to make Mac the best gaming experience.
  16. I was thinking the same thing - but I'm unsure that they would unless they can find a way to include a 10gb NIC.
  17. I don't get what the news is? Apple has never claimed to not hand over your data if requested by local law enforcement agencies if the request was valid. Also (based on what Apple has said in the past), the only have access to the information you store in iCloud. So what is on your phone, stays on your phone. TL;DR, someone broke the law, FBI subpoenaed Apple for their information, Apple provided their iCloud data and notified the user.
  18. Did anyone honestly expect anything different from Apple, or another company? When you enter into a new market you have to play by that market's rules.
  19. I would by the 16" if all they did was update the mic/webcam, and screen to the Liquid Retina XDR display.
  20. I think it's something to do with how it works... The got blocked, but were then talking about a browser release?
