    Why do my Apple devices want to connect to China?

    OK... for years I'm used to the sheer amount of attempts to find open ports on my IP address by Chinese bots/hackers each hour. But today I saw something new in the firewall reports from my network. For some odd reason the HomePod mini's try to connect to a China Telecom CDN (datacenter). Why...

    What would Apple look like if Steve Jobs was still alive?

    What does everyone think Apple would look like? Personally I think we would have had more aesthetically pleasing and functional products. Vision Pro would never have happened. Jonny Ives would not have left. Or would Steve have be pushed out of the company like in the 80’s? Thoughts?
