Define “irony”: the company that got into their current position by pushing almost all of their competition to the sidelines now complains that someone else pushed them to the sidelines.

Ars Technica also has a pretty detailed write-up of the attack. That was pretty crazy.
And it’s also a reminder that, if you are running for some high-profile political office or are working for someone who is running for that office, you should enable lockdown mode on your iPhone/iPad/Mac. Lockdown mode wouldn’t have stopped what happened to John Podesta in 2016, but it would’ve stopped this attack.
Steam Link: yes; there’s an app for that.
Emulators: the tvOS App Store doesn’t allow them, but you can weasel around that if you have a Mac, and install the developer tools, so you can build and deploy apps directly to the TV. Emulators for iOS will also work on tvOS, unless they depend on WebKit to run.
Not anymore. The PS3 would tell everyone on the PSN what you were doing at the time, including running streaming apps. They put a stop to that, and improved the PSN ID privacy settings, on the PS4 and PS5.
It’s amazing how Batman Forever predicted the then-future of television, up to and including most people trading in security/privacy for convenience.
It does, but they’re mostly computer monitors. You can use a computer monitor as a TV for streaming media; the catch is most of them don’t have internal speakers or ATSC/DVB/etc. tuners for over-the-air TV.
Also, have you tried the Apple TV? It’s a set-top box that isn’t horrendous, and it only phones home for software updates + optional integration with Apple’s cloud services (iCloud). It doesn’t spy on its users.
Apple. Their own processors have both GPUs and AI accelerators. But for some reason, the industry refuses to use them.
Actually, the Constitution requires that POTUS candidates must be natural-born citizens, which doesn’t necessarily mean they have to have been born in the US:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The 14th Amendment does say all people born in the US are automatically citizens, but you can also be a natural-born citizen if you were born abroad but at least one of your parents is/was a citizen at the time of your birth. That’s how, for instance, Ted Cruz was able to run for POTUS in 2016 even though he was born in Canada.
Please ignore cloud; they have been posting inaccurate flamebait throughout this thread.
I would never not buy a laptop from Apple. Not only are they the last PC maker that hasn’t fallen to the Microsoft Monopoly Machine, but their laptops are well-built†, futuristic, and have incredible value and battery life for what you get. Especially since they migrated off of Intel.
† I know someone will inevitably come up with a counter-example, but the last time they had a widespread quality problem was a little more than ten years ago.
