Apple•Apple Pulls Plug on Goldman Credit-Card PartnershipEnglish
1·3 years agoBetter UX. Which it did. Was the primary card I have been using.
But if move to Amex that will end that. Amex is worthless if you travel and I travel 50% of the time. Mostly SEA.

Apple•Apple Pulls Plug on Goldman Credit-Card PartnershipEnglish
1·3 years agoThat was the rumor. BUt lets hope that does not happen. If does then I can’t use it any longer.
I live half my time in South East Asia and Amex is not taken there at 90% of places.

1·3 years agoPlease do NOT switch to American Express. I travel a lot and AmEx is worthless in South East Asia.

Apple•[Mac Address] "Apple cancelled this, now what?" The history of early apple wifi and airportEnglish
1·3 years agoWe replaced ours with Google WiFi and been very happy with the results.
The Google WiFi is a mesh solution which is really the way to go in 2023, IMHO.

Apple•Ranked: Worst Companies for Employee Retention (U.S. & U.K.) - Apple #1English
1·3 years agoSurprising. But it is not just Apple. Look at Amazon and Meta also being really bad.
Google and Microsoft doing much better.

1·3 years agoI can’t believe it took this long. Google is releasing their fifth generation of their TPUs.
They started on it in 2014 or 9 years ago.

Apple•Apple M3 Pro Chip Has 25% Less Memory Bandwidth Than M1/M2 ProEnglish
1·3 years agoCurious what financial benefit is there to making it have 25% less memory bandwidth?
Is it to drive consumers to a more expensive product?
I get they have 25% less bandwidth. But why?

Apple•Apple’s Journal app is kind of smart — and kind of basicEnglish
1·3 years agoIs there any reason to move from Google Keep to it?
Trouble is I use a lot of different devices and not all of them are Apple.

Apple•Low-Cost Apple MacBook Said to Come in 12-inch and 13-inch SizesEnglish
1·3 years agoI have my doubts. I feel like this type of rumor happens pretty often and does not play out. Things like the car and TV, etc.
I just do not see how Apple does not cannibalize with the offering. If they do they should probably more focus on certain markets.
So maybe only market them to K12 and specially the US. Another market would be developing countries versus the US.




Honestly anyone but AmEx would be fine. I travel a ton and AmEx would make it so I do not use my Apple card any longer.
There are so few places that take it in SEA.
