Yes this is rage bait using an old meme from back when Johnny Ive was working for Apple; the top MacBook is from 2015 and for the last few years they put back MagSafe, HDMI, headphone port, and SD card readers.

That’s not the same as spying. Apple famously doesn’t hand over user data to ad companies.

You’re not the target for either; they’re meant to milk business customers who don’t care about price.

Ship dates slipped to march on day 1, not sure why this wasn’t considered selling out.

I try to buy locally, and I like getting electronics faster than shipped. I switched to Best Buy back when Circuit City had a 15% restocking fee on any returns.

As the report notes, it is still possible that Apple will launch a “Made for iPhone” certification program for iPhone accessories with a USB-C port, but it appears that uncertified accessories will work just fine with the devices.

Again? How many times will Musk try to sneak this through? Eventually he will stop pretending and just block it.

NYT should just leave the service like other media sites.

Not all of us have Word, and Notepad doesn’t have rich text or the ability to open .doc files.

Merely a rumor. Apple is known to put multiple false rumors into their supplier chain to find leakers.

I’m going to wait for the upcoming formal announcement and specs.

No I’ll downvote for the disturbing image.

TCAS is the last resort. If that’s being activated, it means Air Traffic Control screwed up. The NYT reporting talked about how ATC is making more and more mistakes due to staffing issues.

Prices would plummet if guns were a normal market that responded to pressure like lawsuits. That’s because giving gun manufacturers legal immunity means they spent nearly nothing on new safety features. That’s what I was talking about.

Stop trying to concern troll that gun safety cuts off gun access for the poor. Poor people also have to take mandatory driving education classes and driver licensing, because cars can kill people.

Clearly voluntary education and simple gun locks are not enough, given the tens of thousands of gun deaths a year. The gun lobby won’t have it any other way and spend more money lobbying politicians to block these than any education.

Depends. Thousands of kids a year are accidentally shot (and many cops and others are shot with their own weapon), so if it reduced that then I’m for it. There’s plenty of reliable guns with some sort of key or unlock code already.

This one? Not sure. Others? Definitely.

There’s studies showing that the gun industry doesn’t evolve like other markets due to laws giving them immunity. Normally the industry would add safety features like built in trigger locks ( fingerprint sensors or NFC ring that’s required to fire) but without the motivation they’re not adding them.

Ban all mentions of the S word, and then wonder why teen pregnancy is skyrocketing.

A desktop Twitter client, meant for power and business users. You could have multiple accounts open at the same time, search for mentions, etc.

We should care even if we don’t use X. It gives other companies permission to do the same. Once Verizon started throttling in an effort to shake down Netflix for money then other providers joined in.

You’re being rude not just to fundamentalists though.

That’s actually a terrible idea, as it doesn’t treat the underlying cause. There’s a reason it’s not the first line treatment for pain.

Edit: yes I get the double entrendre pun.

Better tell Geneva, misusing human remains is still a war crime and outside of war it’s still illegal in most of the world.
