Why are you viewing ads at all? Not trying to be disparaging or snide, just really want to understand why anyone tolerates them.

That hasn’t really stopped Apple before. Surely the TV would sell more than, say, the Mac Pro or the Pro Display XDR

Apple, please bring the XDR line to full size TVs and end this bullshit. Making users do deep research on hostile software implementations so they know which features to forego so their privacy is protected... somebody needs to blow this in

That’s the problem. It’s in Facebook’s interest to show me ads. And I don’t want to see ads. Ads are merely professionals paid to convince me I need things and should buy them from their client, placed at the edge of my perception when I’m

This is an interesting argument. It seems to boil down to, "I don't see the effects of this surveillance, so the trillion dollar corporations who employ thousands of engineers to design the systems must be wasting their time.&quot

Tesla is building a factory in Texas. What does the law mean whenever the car itself was made in the state? Does it need to leave the state and then re-enter? Serious question. Teslarati reported that's the case, so if they're rig
