HEADLINE ERROR. It currently reads: "Indian sends labor officials to grill Foxconn over hiring practices" It should read: "India sends..." Otherwise, the reader is left to wonder why a single Indian was sent to grill Foxconn, and which one?

Now take a deep dive in the folder /System/Library/FeatureFlags and do a follow-up report. There is a file here called "Livability" as well as a bunch of project code names with tags like "DevelopmentPhase" and "DisclosureRequired." If you want to…

Dear editor and readers: the word that Gene Roddenberry probably meant to use is "phonemes," not phenoms (superstars / phenomenons). Since it's been quoted, he either misspoke at the time, or was misquoted by the person who wrote it at the original…

That specific shot of the phone flying toward the camera was not a practical, in-camera shot at all. Modern visual effects are capable of generating realistic particles and debris. Apple has extremely detailed 3D models of their devices used for m…

Plex is awesome. I have a lifetime pass. That said, if you have a large personal library of archived media from (ahem) legitimate backup copies (ahem) of your movies, most of Synology's current NAS's are not powerful enough to transcode this conte…

Your decades of experience and domain expertise brought a lot of value to this long-form, detailed, insightful review. Thank you for sharing it.

This also works great for walking tours where you would normally wear a receiver around your neck and plug in wired earbuds to hear the tour guide. This system is very very common, especially among European river cruise operators. The AirFly allow…

"The UK government will be testing its emergency alert system on Sunday, with the vast majority of iPhone users expected to disable their emergency alerts shortly thereafter."

I read the WOOL series when it was first released. Gripping, page-turning sci-fi at its finest. Very excited about this one.

These headphones look suspiciously like the old Sennheiser HD-600's. I've had the same pair for ~20 years and they still sound amazing. Do yourselves a favor and just buy those instead. They're on sale for $300 right now direct from Sennheiser.

I love this, but I'd love it more if Sound Blaster made a surround sound USB sound card interface that presented up to 8 virtual speakers. Is there a product like this ? Or does one need to spring for a traditional recording interface to get 8 cha…

To address @jbtuckr 's concerns... the connectors can always be made more durable. The iPad Pro's and Mini's with USB-C were Apple's first attempt with the connector on a mobile device, and the repair incidents probably helped Apple redesign and re…

AppleInsider's lack of industry experience shows. Between X10 and Google, you all completely skipped over the dominant home and industry lighting automation platform of the 90s and 00s: Lutron RadioRA. Just about everyone here has spent some tim…

One bug that with my Day 1 AirPods Pro 2's is that the in-ear device alert sounds are extremely quiet when no music is playing. For example: when squeezing the stalk to switch between transparency and noise cancellation, or when the battery is runn…

This problem could be avoided altogether if these apps were not allowed in the first place or severely restricted. If they are allowed, the age verification can't just be with Apple because kids are way too clever and can easily lie about thei…

Children can grab their parents' phone, or pretend to be whatever age they want when signing up for an app. If the phone is set up to allow in-app-purchases and is tied to the parent's credit card, now the gambling debt of the child becomes the par…
