I wonder if the geniuses that wrote that ad, actually think that people will believe that FB is some kind of knight in shining armor for small business. What a complete crock. As if tracking people is some sort of right that FB is entitled to. What a scourge this company has turned out to be.

Benzinga poll has 78% of the traders and investors asked think AAPL will hit $200 by 2022. finance.yahoo.com/news/apples-stock-reach-200-2022-124554460.htmlIn one year! That would be a 56% gain from here. The way the article is phrased, at first it sounds like it could be anytime before the end of 2022. If people were thinking 2 years instead of just 1, that brings it down to a 25% annualized rate. FWIW, Jan '22 200's are at around $3.6. Combining that premium, the dividend, and the potential gain, you're looking at a 60% gain, or around 50+% annualized. I know what side of that bet I would take. Not all days can be like yesterday. But it's good to see so far that this digestion day isn't a flop.

Flossy Carter Reviews AirPods MaxI had never heard of this guy till now. This has to be the most entertaining and hilarious review I have ever heard. Be warned, it you don't like cuss words. For example, paraphrasing - "feels soft like titties", referring to the feeling of the pads on the ear. BUT, he pulls no punches. Almost all the other reviewers are so price focused, that they are pulling their punches on what they think. Not Flossy - he is sold, and does a compare to the Sony M4's. AND ANOTHER WARNING - I was on the fence about these, but might just get them now.

As if tracking people is some sort of right that FB is entitled to. What a scourge this company has turned out to be. It is so obvious that Zuckerberg is the wrong guy to be FB CEO. He's a weirdo robot geek with zero self-awareness. Maybe he read Steve's bio and is afraid to hire a "real CEO" like John Scully.
In fairness, Apple is going to need a carefully crafted message throughout all of this, because powerful forces are aligned to muddy the waters.
Ad tracking is of course part of the Apple fees and rules debate.

Other reviewers also didn’t mention that you have to get color matching iPhone 12, Apple watch and iPad if you want to be the goat at Starbucks.

I admit to having an Apple device addiction. But I had not seen a review until this one, that motivated me to seriously look at those. And lol at the color matching flex.
Speaking of cool stuff, I live in a rural area just outside of a mid-sized city. DSL here is pure garbage. Yesterday I was accepted into the beta program from SpaceX’s Starlink satellite service. That might keep me occupied for a bit when the equipment arrives.

That might keep me occupied for a bit when the equipment arrives. My understanding is that it's pretty straightforward. A friend worked there until recently, and he was going around selling the idea, though mainly more to businesses than residential. He brought down a pizza sized receiver board to show us. Cool stuff. I asked a few questions about it, latency and size related things. It's all about scale-up, and as soon as they had enough paying customers they could have the fleet of satellites covered, while mainly only putting them where they were needed. ie no need for one in the middle of the ocean at least at first, unless there was an oil platform that needed the faster connectivity. He was enjoying it, but it sounds like he was a bit burned out and ready for a break, after working on a lot of SpaceX projects. I guess we should have taken him up on the offer of a tour while we had the chance.

I didn’t expect to actually get accepted into the beta right away, and now may have to pay for a couple months of service until I can get it online. Crazy tech.

Thanks LStream, this looks like a good replacement for the AirPort. Once you get your network up and running share your thoughts on these routers. I like the multiple Ethernet ports.

I expect to be adding a couple of their beacon range extenders once I see what initial coverage looks like. This product seems especially strong on the software management tools.
