They all use the same materials, some of which are produced through horrific exploitation.

I think the actual tech is probably much of a much easier. Few will actually have difficulty with the moral standpoint of Chinese tech v non-Chinese tech. That’s obvious but these boards have always had a section of people masquerading as tech experts who in reality are quite ignorant of tech issues.

It's certainly all that matters to me. Out of sight, out of mind. I just pretend my phone came from the postman, and I can absolve myself of all guilt with a trip to church on Sunday.

I see no point in trying to argue that my phone manufacturer is in any way ethical. I've owned Xiaomi phones for years, and they're Chinese. All big Chinese companies are utter cunts*, but I want a nice phone with a nice camera, and I want it for less than £500, so I'm kinda stuck with Xiaomi. I know what I'm doing is wrong but I couldn't give a sufficiently large fuck to change my ways.

My boss got a new 5G phone and though it's a good idea to post his 256Mbs/18Mbs 5G speed test.
Out of curiosity I tested 4G in my room on my (now three-year-old) iPhone X and got 100Mbs/34Mbs which is considerably more than my Zen Internet broadband connection.
Is anyone really going to notice 5G given the 4G speeds?

I’ve not had upload as fast as 18 mbs, but I’ve had faster downloads than 256 mbs

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
I have multiple email accounts on my iPhone (Exchange for work and gmail for personal plus iCloud and another IMAP one).
The email app has started saving drafts from the work account with the ‘from’ address being my personal address. If I don’t spot that the email ends up being sent from my personal account which is seriously annoying as it screws up the audit trail at work (and clients get my personal email).
Happens on iPad too. I’ve tested and it doesn’t happen with the iCloud and IMAP accounts only the Exchange account.
Had a root around in settings and spotted this which seems to be new:
Why the fuck have Apple done this and how can I turn it off?

Yes. Some days mine posts 115 Mbs, which is a tad faster then my home connection.

Not all that surprising that people are more likely to switch between manufacturers using the same OS, than they are to switch to another manufacturer when it means also changing OS.Interesting report here regarding brand loyalty.

It would be a story if people were switching from Android to Apple, but the availability of high quality and hugely competitive alternatives on Android is one of the platform's plus points. I've got zero loyalty to my phone brand and will happily jump to a different maker if a better phone becomes available.Interesting report here regarding brand loyalty.

If you've already invested in Apple apps/accessories, it's a much bigger jump to move to a different brand/OS.

I would never use my personal and work emails from the same client tbqfh. Setting up an exchange account in iOS allows your work to wipe your phone remotely, and if its a personal phone you don't want work having that control.

Airtags are finally here:
I'll probably replace my Tile with one soon. Airtags seem superior with the ultra-wideband and utilizing over a billion devices to help location. Only downside seems to be they don't have a keyring hole, you have to buy a strap case, but I'm sure there will be some decent third-party solutions shortly.

How precise are they? I mean, if it's more than 10 metres you might never get your lost keys back. Just crawling around in the street sort of near to them.

Very, within centimeters. Apparently they will be useful for people who are totally blind.

Clever how they switch to Bluetooth when you get within a certain range.

I can’t get my head around how hey work - would they be good for putting on a bike, as a way to track it if it got nicked?

Is it practicable to attach them to spectacles. Because, man, that would change my life.Airtags are finally here:

Just caught up with the Apple event stuff. Nothing of interest for me or anything that makes me want to upgrade.
Perhaps annoyingly as since I moved house in December I have a habit of putting my keys abe wallet down in places and then can’t find the damn things. The other week I spent 30+ minutes looking for my keys which had somehow ended up underneath my iPad (sounding like a right Apple cunt here) on the side. So I purchased some Nut tags as they were considerably cheaper than tile. I generally just lose things in the house than out in public so they do the job as use Bluetooth. No fancy harness the power of other users. And let’s be honest there’s LOTS of iPhones out there so will be interested to see some real world tests of these on YouTube as no doubt someone will play treasure hunt with them and expect their mate to find an object.
If the Apple tags had been available or I had known they were actually coming this time I may have held out. But the amount of times I’ve already had to call my wallet and keys it’s perhaps better for my sanity I got the nut tags when I did. The ping feature on the Apple Watch (yeah I know Apple cunt sorry not sorry) also gets used loads when I’ve put my phone down somewhere and can’t find it. Ringing it is never a solution as it’s always on silent. So as long as I don’t lose the watch (attached to my wrist got help me if I do) then now I can generally find my phone, keys and wallet sharpish and not be stomping around the house for 30 minutes. All a guy needs right!!!
The new Apple TV 4K doesn’t seem worth an upgrade. If anything if you’re in the market for one I’d say try and find the old one for a knocked down price if you can. Fantastic piece of kit. The new remote looks better but I don’t actually mind the old one.
Can’t believe the charging port for the new mice is still fucking on the bottom rendering it useless if you need to charge it.

I just wish they’d allow express payment in shops like they do with travel on buses and tube and forego all this looking at the camera business.
I know there are security issues but just have a maximum transaction limit set up which resets every time the user re-authenticates. I bet 90% of my purchases are under £20 so setting a limit at say, £30 without having to unlock seems a fair compromise.
