Tim Cook gifted Trump the 'first' Mac Pro built in the U.S.

Former President Donald Trump once waged war with Apple over tariffs for products made in China. At one point, he said Apple would not be given tariff waivers on Mac Pro parts unless Apple produced them in the U.S. 

Now, thanks to Trump's final financial disclosure report as president (via The New York Times' David Enrich), we know that Trump actually owns one of those U.S.-made Macs, as Apple CEO Tim Cook gifted the ex-President a $5,999 Mac Pro. 

The document describes the Mac Pro as "the first created at the Flex Factory in Austin, Texas," which is technically false, as Apple has been making Mac Pro computers in Austin since 2013. It might, however, be the first 2019-gen Mac Pro produced at the factory, which would make it quite the cool collector's item.  Read more...

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
