surely each key stroke sounds like a shot from 50 cal sniper rifle

Samsung is not American

Not for Apple, more M1 Macbooks in landfills means more new M2 MacBooks sold.

But hey, at least Apple is concerned about lightning cable adapters ending up in the landfill & conveniently stopped include one in every new iphone sold /s

Edit- slight correction, it was the wall adapter they stopped including, right when they switched to USB c ends on the cables and most users would want a new adapter

Well that sucks.

The long short is that enterprises cycle through their machines every 2 to 3 year and dump their old machines to refurbishers. The companies however don't go through the effort to wipe them properly resulting in an Activation Lock effectively bricking otherwise functional machines.

The companies aren't interested in unlocking hundreds machines one at a time and Apple provides no avenue for resellers to fix the issue themselves

> Very mild argument

I know you said "very mild" but there's easier ways to commit insurance fraud, and you really only get to do it ONCE, which makes this an impractical concern.

I mean, do current versions of Linux support most PC components?

Isn’t the Linux joke that a bunch of your PC parts won’t work right, so you joke that you didn’t need them anyway because hey, you’re using Linux after all!

That's a TV with a keyboard

There will be near shoring of quite a few things to Mexico and North America for sure.

There simply aren’t enough workers for all of it though. We already have record low unemployment. Who would work all of these factories?

Your mind is going to blow when you find out what your phone actively does 24/7

It is good that people can ditch OSX, with their existing hardware.

Cuz that's their home.

I disagree. America will re-shore it’s major manufacturing to North America. Replacing China with India is like replacing your car with an ox cart.

Smart according to who? Are you trying to be a 21st Century Adam Smith? If you care anything about fairness, equality, social safety net, environmental standards that are actually enforced.... if you think any of these are important you would not support American companies manufacturing in India.

If there was any doubt that Apple has lost its way.....

I’m not buying any electronics that are made in India.

Lol I think you don’t know who handles your luggage.

Ok, Tim Cook. Never heard that one before.

Please elaborate on how blocking part of your screen is a "cool and practical feature".

They arent

I love the market of technology to fight other technology that is arising.

ZDNet is a Linux/FOSS propaganda outlet, they do stuff like this all the damn time.

India will replace China as the worlds manufacturing hub. It's in the early stages now, but as the supply chains start to build up the pace will increase exponentially. Hopefully this brings the Indian people wealth and stability. Xi screwed the golden goose picking fights with all of their neighbors.

Yeah, but if they intentionally removed your AirTag that would put guilt on them. An AirTag still is a belonging to the person and removing it would be considered stealing on top of the obviously malicious intent they have by removing it.

You aren’t being tracked, the luggage/package is. You just happen to be near it.

They don’t know anything about you so I would hardly say you are being tracked.
