If you let your iPhone 4's Photos App Camera Roll get to past around 2000-3000 photos and videos, starting the Camera App gets very, very slow. Like 15-25 seconds, just to start it up. This is particularly noticeable if you get extremely low on iPhone storage space, when the warning pop-ups appear, …

I use a family shared Apple ID for iTunes purchases, tied to a credit card. I use an individual Apple ID for each phone's iCloud.com access (same @me.com email addresses we used as MobileMe users, 1 Family Pack and 1 Individual). I suspect many other families are doing something very similar, to…

After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
