Re: [AFMUG] OT Apple News
Unless you're willing to pay some real reporters, all you get is the tissue paper that can be called news. Blow your nose in it, and toss it in the bin. This is an opinion too. I think it's pretty funny, and sadly, describes the situation that 60% or so of us are in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhkZMxgPxXU=youtu.be bp On 12/20/2019 6:36 AM, Ken Hohhof wrote: Was it any good?

Re: [AFMUG] OT Apple News
I liked google news, but they tend to prioritize the paywall sites that you have to clear your cache to get past after a couple articles a month. msn gardens the articles inside their page so you dont hit the paywalls but the layout repeats the same articles. apple news probably embed subliminal stuff to make you want neckholders for earpods and to wear a manbun On Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 9:15 AM Ken Hohhof wrote: > OK, not being a member of the Apple cult, I was unaware of Apple News. > Apparently what you have is Apple News+. > > > > https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-news-plus/ > > > > It seems to give you access to a lot of newspapers and magazines that > would normally be behind their own paywalls.
