I think your estimate is flawed. The article does state $3500, but that's consumer cost. The profit margin would already be baked into that. Barring a democracy-ending chain of events in the US, Apple wouldn't even have time to move manufacturing to the US in a meaningful enough way to get to this price point before the end of 47's term. $2000 iPhones with baked in consumer taxes (tariffs)? Absolutely, though.

The MX series is great, if only Logitech didn't skimp on quality. I like the MX Ergo, it's nearly perfect, except that the buttons wear out in 2 years or so.

Detained is often used interchangeably with arrested, as annoying as it is. And he would have been, if he was charged.

Your government needs you to go die for Daddy Putin. You don't think forced military service is weird?

“I will guarantee you, 99.99 percent with confidence, Russia and China are monitoring those two phones,” Bacon told CNN’s Manu Raju. “So I just think it’s a security violation, and there’s no doubt that Russia and China saw this stuff within hours of the actual attacks on Yemen or the Houthis.”

This "article" provides zero evidence of the assertion, and just assumes China and Russia own these phones with an on-device compromise? Signal is encrypted, unlike the SMS infrastructure which has been fully owned by China for years. The only known way to compromise it is on a device itself, not by "monitoring" these devices (watching SMS traffic). Or, this pundit knows about secret Signal hacks the rest of the world doesn't...

Signal doesn't bridge to SMS any more, so I fail to see how these messages would be intercepted unless these people are walking around with compromised phones. Yes, it'd only take one person in this group to compromise the whole thing, but making this assertion without any explainer is just clickbait.

This headline was a roller coaster, considering the US has a South African president, as this point...

So if she complied and her kid died, that's negligent manslaughter, right? I wonder if she'd sue the flight crew, or the airline.

GoDaddy was teaching master classes on enshittification before that was even an idea.

Wow, replace one failing product head with another failing business head? This isn't 3D chess, so what's the end game here for Apple?

This has a whiff of "punishment for crack is 10x worse than punishment for powder cocaine"...

How could there only be one copy of it in the first place?

 

Been down for a couple hours for me.

 

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.
