So you're depositing into some sort of kidney bank?

What do you mean "planning"? They already are in some places, including Apple Stores themselves. But more often you see iPads in that role with a bigger screen for customers. Are they doing the same behavior? (I don't see why

Some sort of a sideways space-elevator.

Yeah, my dad is in the same situation. The companies that make this diabetes machinery will certify it for use pretty soon (probably) but not immediately.

often these disparities have to do with the iPad with a seemingly-same CPU having more RAM.

The "Journal" app is not in this immediate release.

Alexa has always worked better from across the room, but nowadays an Echo device will do very little aside from weather and timers without trying to sell you a subscription.

Remember when Steve Jobs would "allegedly" fire you in the elevator if you couldn't explain what you were up to? Now theLoon wants every customer's warranty card to include a paean to his genius. Well, if it was the 1990

In recent years the terminology on Apple update notes is very inconsistent so I wouldn't read much into it except that nobody is paying much attention to it.

There's an interesting idea. But I think there's no power-brick. The Power Supply is internal.

They were dead. Recycled or landfilled. Hopefully the former. The goop leaks out and ruins the board anyway.

That's interesting to hear since many years ago I took PATH trains at all hours of the night and never saw such a thing. There's a lot fewer PATH stations (13) than NYSubway (472, which I believe is the most stations on such a sys

I guess that's perjury because it cannot be true! Even Snow Leopard didn't even include Rosetta 1. But if it was deemed necessary, it would download and install it on-demand, similar to how the Java system worked.

I agree. And I suppose since it was so intrinsic to the operating system, if a 68k app worked in Mac OS 9 (some would some might not), you could continue to run it in the Classic Environment (on a PPC Mac, not Intel Mac) Mac OS 10.4 Tiger i

Australia sure has a lot of empty land. Must be something down in there.

If installed using a packaged installer, or the App Store, the translation is done during installation instead of at first run. So, slow 1st launch may be uncommon for a lot of apps or users.

I agree it was a bit worryingly short-lived. However the first version of Mac OS X that shipped without Rosetta 1 support was 10.7 Lion in summer 2011 (and many people avoided it since it was problematic). So nearly-modern Mac OS X with Ros

Plus if any audio was playing, it attempts to resume it during the final restart even though you can't mute it for several minutes since it is finally into the user login.

Seems so! I wonder who they are trying to run under the bus — MS, Intel, or their previous selves? They still sell a couple of Intel-based Macintoshes!

What do you mean KMart exists?

You'd expect Spirit Airlines to do this, but do they let you check a bag for less than a hundred bucks?

Well, also a GPS receiver to detect flights to or from Germany.

If they want to defeat tracking, they can enforce their baggage employees not to bring iPhones to work. Of course eventually on the plane, the luggage will be like ten feet below hundreds of people who might have an iPhone!

It's an interesting question. Maybe it's just scare tactics. The battery that goes in an AirTag is the same as in a lot of wristwatches and I expect it would look like a wristwatch via x-ray. And it is exactly as dangerous as such

Do they ban wristwatches with the same battery inside of them‽

I wonder if you can source that. I am pretty confident Apple Weather has the same back-end data since iOS 15 a year ago, at the least.

ALAC (Apple Lossless …) is not much newer than FLAC — it started in mid 2004 as the audio transport to AirPlay (previously called AirTunes) to AirPort Express. I think they prefer it because it's in a MPEG4 container, it can be DRM enc
