Interesting, it appears that #apple #airpods might be causing #tinnitus https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250.. I wonder if it is somehow related to their #noisecancellation ? I have #bluetooth #headphones with this feature but switch it on rarely.
Looks like #apple M2 #silicon is #vulnerable to a highh dimension #speculative #vector #attack https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.01131.pdf The #paper suggests it is completely #impossible to #patch too... I would love to see somebody run the #code in the #paper to test it!
Really cool #story by #stevewozniak of #apple #fame https://web.archive.org/web/201111222025..
Apperently the M2 #apple #silicon is pretty #battery #efficient https://youtube.com/watch?v=P0h8q6D0s74 It's great that there is someone else in the #cpu space, but terrible that it is #apple ...
#apple beginning to #reconsider their ties with #china 's #ccp after they #blamed #apple for the #widespread #riots and #protests against #zero #covid on them: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/a.. Not a great atmosphere in #china right now.
Huh, #logitech #devices appear to create so much #interference that #apple #airpods are #confused by them: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-001/commu.. To be fair, the #logitech #devices should make less noise, and the #apple #airpods #software should go into a more #noise #robust mode.
#us #regulators *finally* making a move on #tiktok https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/tiktok-.. Apparently they are asking #google and #apple to consider #banning them from their #stores due to #data #security #concerns raised about #bytedance .
Oh wow, #apple have begun #manufacturing an #iphone in #india ! https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple.. Very interesting to see them shifting #production away from #china ...
The new #apple M1 #ultra #cpu is #chunky - at 3x the size of the #ryzen #processor https://www.tomshardware.com/news/mac-st.. Apparently it has #ram under there too. Not looking good for #repairability ...
Those #apple #stocks are going to #crash https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/fox.. A friend of mine already lost tonnes of #money #experimenting , after buying into #apple and #microsoft at an #alltimehigh - damn. They really have to hold onto them to get their returns now.
Apparently #apple are looking to #patent #allinone #computers , where even their #example looks like an #existing #raspberrypi 400: https://hackaday.com/2022/03/04/are-appl.. #patents are fundamentally broken. There is no way this should be enforceable.
#funny #article on #minimalism and #removing the #capslock #key https://memex.marginalia.nu/log/48-i-hav.. This appears to be a #dig at #apple and their #keyboard design - which is insanely #unfriendly ...
Oh man, #apple can't even make #guarantees about #data #integrity because they #hacked some #code around #fsync to #cheat on #performance #benchmarks https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1494.. Even when calling #ffullsync you *still* cannot be sure the data is written to #disk ! It's a #corruption #nightmare - #forget running a #database , you can barely run *any* #program that relies on a #reliable #filesystem !
Heh #intel finally #releases a #cpu in a #laptop that has better #computation than #apple 's M1 Max: https://www.macworld.com/article/608396/.. #caveat : It's ludicrously #expensive , uses double the #power - and for all that only just about edges out the #competition ... In reality this is a massive loss for #intel . It shows they are incapable of competing currently...
#apple finally backing down on #csam #scanning on #devices that would most definitely end up being #abused by #state #actors and #governments in general to #hunt for people: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/12/15/app.. Looking at the #website #comments , it looks like there is some #blame of #hongkong #protestors too...
#watching a new #apple #tv #series called #invasion , and interestingly there is a piece of the #story based in #afghanistan - which involves places now taken by the #taliban ... I bet it really does feel like an invasion out there now. The TV series is pretty good though, I have been getting into it. There is some #politics , but for now it seems reasonably well balanced, it's not forcing it down our throats.
