Your AirTag can’t say horseshit but it can say shit horse

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 05:31 PM PDT

After what feels like ages of rumors, speculation, and worry that I was getting way too obsessed with a Bluetooth item tracker that seemed similar to ones made by several other companies, AirTags are finally here. But before you preorder the Mentos-esque pucks, there's something you should be aware of: if you want to engrave your AirTags, you can't combine a horse and poop emoji in that order.

That's right, the emoji version of "horseshit" is a no-go when getting an engraving for Apple's newest product. Here's what happens when you try to make that your engraving of choice:

Apple says no to "horseshit" in emoji form.

Curiously, poop and then horse ("shit horse") is totally fine, though.

Apple has...

Who knew Tim Apple was a professional thief?

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 05:07 PM PDT

Tim Cook, the mild-mannered Apple CEO, probably didn't have to lift more than a finger to launch a new line of iPad Pros with the company's Arm-based M1 chip.

Tim Apple, on the other hand? He's the kind of daring superspy who can pull off a high-security heist, slicing through plate glass, rappelling down buildings, and dodging lasers, all with a trusty grappling hook at his side.

Also, he's apparently able to unsocket a soldered-down chip, perhaps the most impressive trick of all — except perhaps for the one where he gave Donald Trump a "new" factory and the "first" Mac Pro off its assembly line. Not bad for a 60-year-old, even one who's in charge of the most profitable company in the world.

I sure hope he's ready for...

Here are all the AirTag accessories we know about

The Apple AirTags have finally been announced, and with them come a ton of accessories to make them easier to use (so much easier than if it had, say, a built-in way to attach it to things). While a small tracking puck could be carried in a bag, there are a variety of other things that you may want to put an AirTag on that require some sort of holder or the judicious use of tape.

These are all the accessories we could find that are either listed for preorder on the maker's site or have a page on Apple's store. We don't have official ship dates for most of them, but it's probably a safe bet that the ones on the Apple Store will become available when the AirTags do, on April 30th.

The simmering issue of how Tesla deals with customer complaints in China came to a boil this week as police detained a woman after she protested at Tesla's booth at the Auto Shanghai 2021 trade show. The woman was dragged off the show floor after jumping on top of a Tesla Model 3, where she shouted about a brake issue the company has been criticized for with its China-made cars. Tesla has since said it will conduct a self-inspection of its service and operations in China.

The woman, who police referred to only by her surname "Zhang," according to Reuters, was detained for "disrupting public order." She has protested before about the brake issue, after she was involved in a crash. She is reportedly being held for five days.

Apple forgot to revolutionize the Magic Mouse’s infamous charging port

Apple revealed a redesigned iMac and Magic Keyboard at its "Spring Loaded" event on Tuesday, but didn't, for some reason, decide to change the Magic Mouse 2's infamous charging solution. While the mouse will come in new colors to match the new iMacs, Apple confirmed to The Verge that its charging port is still on the bottom — meaning that five and a half years after its introduction, Apple still seems to think that the best way to charge the mouse is by flipping it over (rendering it useless) and plugging in a Lightning cable.

The Magic Mouse's charging situation has long been a bit of a joke — my former colleague Nick Statt equated it to looking like "a beetle with its legs in the air" all the way back in December 2015, and frankly, I'm...

Apple will now let you buy an M1 Mac Mini with 10-gigabit networking

The M1-powered Mac Mini can now be configured to included 10-gigabit networking, an option that the computer was notably missing compared to its Intel-powered counterpart (via 9to5Mac). The update to the 2020 computer seems to have come during Apple's store update that came with the bigger product announcements today, including a new iMac and iPad Pros. Adding the faster networking will add $100 to the price of the computer — the same price as if you were to add 10Gbps to the Intel version.

When Apple added the 10Gbps port as an option to the Mac Mini in 2018, it was welcomed by those running home and professional servers, as well as anyone who needed fast network access from a cheaper Mac (like video professionals using network-attached...

Two queens in talks to join Marvel’s Secret Invasion on Disney Plus

The Marvel Cinematic Universe may soon be home to two new queens. Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Olivia Colman was negotiating a role in Marvel's Secret Invasion Disney Plus series, and today, Variety reports that Emilia Clarke is in talks to do the same.

Secret Invasion is expected to be the television adaptation of the comics storyline of the same name that's focused on a hostile takeover of Earth led by a shape-shifting alien race you may already know and love from Captain Marvel: the Skrulls. Few details have been revealed since the project was first announced, but we do know the show will feature the return of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the friendly Skrull Talos, who was last seen i...

You may have to actually pay for Apple TV Plus to watch Ted Lasso’s second season

Apple TV Plus launched on November 1st, 2019, but odds are that you (along with almost two-thirds of other Apple TV Plus customers) aren't actually paying for it, thanks to Apple's lengthy free trials. But Apple may have finally found the carrot to convince people to actually shell out their hard-earned cash for another streaming service: the upcoming second season of sleeper hit Ted Lasso, which is set to debut on TV Plus on July 23rd — just after Apple's free subscriptions for its earliest customers end on July 1st.

It's no secret that Apple TV Plus has a paying subscriber problem: as of January, research firm MoffettNathanson noted that approximately 62 percent of TV Plus subscribers are enjoying Apple's free ride. The free trials for...

Why is the old Apple TV HD still so expensive?

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 02:47 PM PDT

Apple refreshed its Apple TV 4K streaming box today with upgraded specs and, perhaps most importantly, a redesigned, simpler Siri remote. When the new device ships in late May, it'll cost the same price as before: $179 for a 32GB unit or $199 for 64GB. (Sidenote: I've yet to meet anyone who has needed the higher storage option on any Apple TV.)

But along with the new Apple TV 4K and improved remote — you can buy it standalone — it turns out Apple is keeping the ancient 2015 Apple TV HD around. And for some reason, it still costs the same $149. I just... I don't get it.

How was this not the moment to slash the price to something more reasonable? Something closer to competitive?

The price discrepancy between Apple TV 4K and 4K streamers...

Netflix subscriber growth is stalling as it runs low on hits

Netflix is seeing a slowdown in new subscriptions as the company puts out fewer shows following a year of delayed productions. The company now has 208 million paid subscribers across the globe, up from 204 million last quarter. That's not much to complain about, but it's a substantial slowdown compared to the rapid growth Netflix saw during the same time period in 2020 when it added four times as many new subscribers.

It's also fewer subscribers than Netflix had hoped to add. The company believed it would hit 210 million subscribers by the end of the first quarter, but it came in 2 million short. The results were reported in Netflix's Q1 2021 earnings release. Its stock fell around 10 percent in after-hours trading following the results,...
