Consumer Reports has a history of making questionable claims and recommendations when it comes to Apple products. That now extends to AirPods, as Consumer Reports has published a new comparison between Apple’s latest AirPods and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds – with a surprising winner. Consumer Reports says that its “sound quality testing” revealed a clear winner between the two truly wireless offerings, crowning the Galaxy Buds as the landslide winners. The comparison says that while AirPods do a “decent job” of reproducing music and movie dialog, there are some “obvious shortcomings....

For me, a few stand out for different reasons – some going way back into the mists of time, some more recent. I have to open with a confession… When it comes back to my very first introduction to Apple products, in the form of the Apple II when I was a teenager, I wasn’t that impressed.

There are various proposals for workarounds, but commenters say that it’s not clear which of them will be permitted by the Cupertino company … Background We’ve explained previously the issue at stake: ad revenue is higher when personalized ads are shown. You’ve always been able to opt out of IDFA, but as of next year, you’ll instead be opted out by default, and apps will have to ask permission to opt you in on an app-by-app basis....

1997 sequel Alien: Resurrection was one of Joss Whedon’s first feature film scripts, but The Avengers director ended up none too happy with the finished product. While his work shaping the first two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe helped him graduate to full-on Hollywood power player, it can be easy to forget that prior to working with Marvel Studios, Whedon was seen more as a cult figure that appealed to hardcore genre fans with TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly....
