Hello fellow Apple enthusiasts, This is not an Apple question - but I hope there is enough expertise in the group that someone may have an answer.

Am I opening myself up to security issues (Chinese or American) if we correspond? Will big brother be watching? Harry |

They took a look at the market. When they first started working on it, Tesla was just a gleam in Elon’s antisemitic eyes, and there was almost no competition. Apple's project took so long that the world changed beneath their feet. Now Tesla and Rivian are established brands. Every major car company has EV and self-driving divisions. The huge Chinese EV maker, BYD, is moving into North America. It would be much harder to find their niche in this market. Also, I think they found out self-driving software is hard. I’m sure behind closed doors in Cupertino there have been dozens of projects that came and went like a ripples on a pond. The car project was different only because of its cost and notoriety.
Working on it! I’d prefer the same model as George Jetson, but I’d settle for Doc Brown’s Delorean. L^2 The future is already here; it's just not very evenly distributed. — William Gibson |

Apple Announcement
Hey, how about Apple announcing that they put the brakes on their electric car project?
Another one bites the dust. Y’all better get out there and buy TWO EVs each so we can get the future started! If we don’t keep up we’re never going to get to flying cars in my lifetime! ::-) Jonathan -- Jonathan Fletcher Workplace Innovation Facilitator jonathan@... Kentuckiana FileMaker Developers Group ?

Re: Unauthorized credit card charges
Dan,

I used Apple Pay - visa to charge something yesterday and it went through. I only have one Visa card in Applepay and it was changed-automatically to the new card #. I don’t know whether to be pleased or upset. Pleased that I didn’t lose my ability to use the card after the first one was cancelled but it is kind of scary that Apple and Visa have this ability.

Re: The Courier-Journal E-Edition Article - Apple’s Vision Pro
Harry, I’m a guy that listens to hundreds of Audio Books, many Biographies, Autobiographies. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, Tony Robbins and on and on it goes. I also listen to a plethora of investment works. I’VE NEVER HAD ONE TOTALLY CHANGE MY THINKING like “The Coming WAVE” by Mustafa Suleyman.

I don’t know how to describe it, our world is going to be turned upside down, we must be careful. I had lunch yesterday with a man I’ve worked with since high school. He works for Guggenheim Financial, an asset management company, huge, that handles $231 BILLION of assets across the globe. I told him about this book, he WILL listen to it, then he told me a story of his firm. They had a backlog of work that they had intended to hire between 1,000 to 1,500 people, knowing it would take a couple years to complete. Two of their engineers thought they might be able to write an AI program to handle this…. Sure enough, they completed it and the work was complete within a couple weeks, without hiring a single person. We are facing the largest change to our society we have EVER faced, greater than the Agriculture Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Technology Revolution. It’s here and this one fact is what has propelled Microsoft to top Apple in Market Capitalization. Hold on, this is going to be some ride and we have to be sure it doesn’t get into the wrong hands…. Many of our diseases can be eradicated by changing our DNA, if a female has the gene that could well cause her to have breast cancer, we will be able to alter the gene. I could go on and on and on, it’s a book I have a hard time turning off. John On Feb 3, 2024, at 11:53 AM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer <hejb44@...> wrote: |
