i got my apple ipad pro and it is very nice but i am super triggered atm that the keyboard is not available but the functionality of the keyboard overlaps with the case so if i want something that functions as an ipad stand i either have to wait for the keyboard or buy both a case and a keyboard, which is totally redundant

what the heck

i think someone just hacked my apple id

got an email that it had been used to log into an ipad air, so i went and changed the password on the appleid site, and now i see like 12 identical emails over a 30 min periode that say "youve chosen to use firstlast@gmail.com as your new apple id"

and now i just got another one while writing this!!

maybe they made 2-factor pointless by putting in a workaround because idiots kept locking themselves out of their account. If they haven't I'd expect them to at some point

havent gotten any mails since about 2 hrs after the original one

my current theory is that some idiot with the same name as me was trying to set up an apple id using my email address (mine is first.last@gmail but all the mails have been addressed to firstlast@gmail with no dot)

changed my gmail password for the hell of it, also added my middle name to my apple account

i think they took out some of the biometric sensors for the apple watch that they had planned so i guess that's the only reason i'm waiting on a new version

what sensors are these, exactly? because if you're talking about galvanic skin response that's not actually very useful, the other "rumored" sensors for the watch like blood pressure don't exist in a form that small yet

Swiss watch exports had their biggest decline in six years in October, led by a 39 percent slump in shipments to Hong Kong, the industry’s largest market.

Shipments declined 12 percent to 2 billion Swiss francs ($2 billion), the Swiss customs office said in a statement Thursday. Adjusted for fewer working days, the drop was 7.6 percent. Exports to the U.S. dropped 12 percent.

i sincerely doubt that the iwatch, a failing product, is contributing much to the decline of watch sales anywhere but at apple

old people dying is probably the leading contributor to watch sale declines.

also the actual reason is because china is cracking down on using luxury watches as a means of bribery so they don't have a ready demand anymore

actually it's because people aren't using luxury watches as a way to get money out of China quite as much now that the stock market stabilized. but good effort, stymies

I've still only seen like ten people with an apple watch between living in manhattan and travelling to portland, seattle, and miami this year

they're still rare enough that i'm sort of surprised when i do see one

good job tim

the reason luxury watch sales are down is probably due to new chinese anti-corruption rules going into effect, a lot of chinese bloggers started pointing out random mid-level officials wearing $100k timepieces and the party is cracking down

how do you get rejected for a payday loan? isn't that the entire point?

does it end with a warning that the email is prohibited to read by anyone who is not an intended recipient / must be deleted after 7 day trial period / if you're a cop you gotta tell me or it doesn't count??
