Whatever it is, why is it that whenever it\u2019s time to download an update, say, to Mac OS, I can\u2019t do it? Why do I have to take my machine home to be able to download an update? I\u2019ve only complained to IT about this for two years. I\u2019m gonna stop paying \u2019em. That\u2019s the only way this is gonna get fixed. Stop paying them. They send bills. They expect to be remunerated.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a Mac OS here update of four and a half gigabytes and it\u2019s downloaded 700 and stopped. And then it will download 10 more and stop, and then download 15 more and stop and it\u2019s not gonna finish anywhere close to the time I gotta get outta here today, and I shouldn\u2019t have started. I should have just waited \u2019til I get home. Anyway, I\u2019m sorry. A little inside baseball. But sometimes that\u2019s the only way it works.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-304889\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-040219-Talks-Techj-Defiant-Rush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-040219-Talks-Techj-Defiant-Rush.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-040219-Talks-Techj-Defiant-Rush-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>(interruption) I didn\u2019t watch the Apple show last night. It\u2019s the same old thing, Mr. Snerdley. Why spend two hours watching a video when you can learn what you want to know in five minutes? I only cared about one thing in that whole video yesterday. You know what it was? When is the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max going to be available to pre-order and when\u2019s it gonna be delivered? And the answer is November 6 and November 13th. That\u2019s all I wanted to know. &#8216;Cause that\u2019s the only one of the four new phones I care about.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t care about 5G \u2019cause I think 5G is not gonna be a real thing for another year. I think most of what your phone is gonna be able to get is gonna be LTE, occasional speed bumps into 5G territory, but the networks just haven\u2019t rolled it out nationwide. I mean, Verizon, AT&amp;T. They\u2019re working hard at it, don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n<p>The old Apple would not have even included 5G this year, I\u2019ll guarantee you. Remember when Apple did include LTE, they were a year behind everybody? Well, that was because they wait for everything to be tested out, make sure it works before they install it on their own devices. That was also back when people genuinely upgraded every year because your phone was on a contract, and so you could. But now people keep their iPhones two, three, sometimes four years.<\/p>\n<p>So, they have to put 5G in before it\u2019s ready since people aren\u2019t gonna buy a new phone every year, the phone they buy this year will be ready for 5G in three years. So they\u2019re now having to preinstall things that they &#8212; it\u2019s not a preinstall, but they\u2019re having to install these tech upgrades sooner than they would because the upgrade schedule has slowed down since there\u2019s no more contract, you know, you either pay for the phone full boat or you pay for it on time, you know, monthly payments. Back when you could have a phone on a contract the phone was cheap, 200 bucks and they make the rest of it up on your service over the length of your contract time. That way of doing business doesn\u2019t exist anymore.<\/p>\n<p>So, I didn\u2019t care about the other phones, and what else was there? Well, there are many home &#8212; (interruption). It\u2019s pretty cool. Coffee cup. I\u2019ll tell you, there was something new that they announced I had no idea was coming. And this is gonna be fascinating. Did you hear about this, called Intercom? That\u2019s gonna be fascinating. Now, some people are going to hate it. Which is fine. You can turn it off. You don\u2019t have to use it if you don\u2019t want to. But if you have a phone, you have an iPad, you have a HomePod, I think it\u2019s gonna work on every Apple device except a Mac.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say that you\u2019re at home and you have a family of five and your family of five has a total of, let\u2019s say, seven or eight iPhones and iPads, you can say, &#8220;Turn on the stupid HomePod over there.&#8221; But you trigger it with the &#8220;hey&#8221; and then &#8220;Intercom&#8221;, and then that triggers every other device in your house to listen.<\/p>\n<p>So, Dawn, if you need to issue a warning to your daughter that she\u2019s wearing something that\u2019s unsuitable, you can do it and she will hear you. Anybody in the house will hear you. That\u2019s cool. It\u2019s like the walkie-talkie feature on the watch, except I think it\u2019s gonna be better. That I didn\u2019t know was coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I&#039;ve only complained to IT about this for two years.  I&#039;m gonna stop paying &#039;em.
