Apple

At Apple event next week, Apple likely to introduce three new Macs with Apple Silicon processors:

  • a 13-inch MacBook Pro;
  • a 16-inch MacBook Pro; and,
  • a 13-inch MacBook Air.

Apple event: 10:00 a.m. PT, November 10, 2020. 

Currently the Apple page shows, education pricing:

  • MacBook Air: two options, one starting at $999; second starting at $1,299; $899;
  • MacBook Pro 13": three options, $1,299; $1,499; and, $1,799; $1199;
  • MacBook Pro 16": two options, $2,399; and, $2,799;
  • iMac: $1,049;

I still think the MacBook Air is the best option for most college-bound students. And at $899, that's an incredible bargain: $100/month; $3/day.

Browsers

I got locked out of my regional bank account over the weekend.

I called customer support at the bank.

The problem was most likely due to cache, cookies.

Recommendation: clear cookies.

Firefox is my default browser. I rarely use Safari.

Tech support said the regional bank's on-line software is optimized for Google Chrome. Talking to a "third-party expert" on such matters, she agreed: most banks prefer Google Chrome. 

Regional bank tech support said Apple Safari was quite difficult due to "very high security." 

The one browser the bank absolutely won't recommend: Microsoft Edge. 

Most tech support folks with whom I speak, albeit rarely, seldom mention Firefox. 

I now have three browsers.

Firefox is my default browser, used 99% of the time.

Safari is used for only one on-line application, associated with the NDIC.

Google Chrome will only be used once a month or so when I log in to my regional bank account.

Speaking to my wife, she agrees; the only banking site she has difficulty with is our regional bank account. Once she cleared all cookies and updated the browser she has not had a problem.

So, a bit of irony there: the regional bank on-line software is optimized for the browser with least security?
