Intro

Nu räichlecher Iwwerleeung an nodeems ech nu x Méint nach ëmmer net vun der Gemeng um Site vun den Associatiounen erwäänt ginn hunn ech Entscheedung getraff Eliza an ISeeT ze integréieren an net mei als eegestännege Projet lafen ze loossen.

Da een hei an der Péitenger Gemenger nëmmen eppes kritt wann een CSV Parteikaart huet an ech dat Spillchen net mat maache leeft et elo eben esou a wann ech eppes organiséiere well wei z.B. een Themenowend iwwert Internet Sécherheet oder een Ausfluch ob eng Convention oder an ee Musée dann halt eben ouni eis wonnerbar (net) Gemeng.

Ären perseinlechen Computer Club

Mir hunn dëse Club gegrënnt well et net genuch Informatiounen an Treffe gëtt fir Leit a Punkto Computer, allgemeng EDV oder virun allem iwwer Computer an Internet Sécherheet ze beroden oder informéieren.

Och wann et BeeSecure zum Beispill gëtt oder ee Rentner Club deen anere Rentner hëlleft, geet et an der haiteger Zäit bei wäitem nach net duer.

Mir hunn déi lescht Wochen a Méint esou villes an eisem Ëmfeld gesinn a gelies dass mir eis eben zu dem Schratt duerchgeronge hunn a mir hunn nach relativ vill Iddie wat mer eventuell soss nach maache kéinten.

Momentan ass Säit (Eliza Deel) nëmmen ob lëtzebuergesch a kennt och eventuell spéider mol franséisch eraus. De Problem ass dass et deier kascht (finanziell an Zäitopwand) ee Site Multilingual opzebauen. Jee nu Demande an aktive Memberszuelen ännert sech dat also villäicht.

Waat ass "Eliza"

ELIZA ass e vum Joseph Weizenbaum am Joer 1966 entwéckelte Computerprogramm, dee geduecht ass fir d'Méiglechkeete vun der Kommunikatioun tëscht engem Mënsch an engem Computer mat der natierlecher Sprooch ze demonstréieren.

De Weizenbaum huet den Numm ELIZA gewielt op Basis vum Spill Pygmalion vum George Bernard Shaw. De Programm ka verschidde Gespréichspartner mat Skripte simuléieren. Et ass bekannt gi fir déi iwwerflächlech Simulatioun vun engem Psychotherapeut, deen d'net-direktive Methode vun der Client-zentréierter Psychotherapie no Carl Rogers benotzt.

De Weizenbaum huet de Programm am MAD-SLIP fir en IBM 7094 geschriwwen, deen den CTSS Time-Sharing System vum Massachusetts Institute of Technology benotzt huet.

ELIZA kann als fréi Ëmsetzung vum Turing Test gesi ginn. Dësen Test huet en awer net gepackt well e Benotzer einfach erausfanne kann datt se mat enger Maschinn kommunizéiert.

Hei de Link ob Wikipedia

Waat bidden mer?

Iwwert Zäit wëlle mer Follgendes ubidden

• Berodung ronderëm EDV asw.
• Bedreiwe vun dëser Websäit mat Sammlung vun Informatioune ronderëm EDV, Internet an hier Sécherheet.
• Austausch vun Informatiounen ob geleeëntlechen Treffe respektiv am Virfeld ausgemaachte Terminer fir zum Beispill eng Kafberodung.
• An Zukunft komme villäicht nach Servicer dobäi - déi ginn hei dann och ugekënnegt.

Eis Projeten

Folgend Projeten versichen mer emzesetzen falls et eis Meiglech ass

• Mir wollte kucke fir ee Meeting 1-2 mol de Mound ze maache wou mer Leit ënnerstëtze mat hiren IT Problemer.
• Mir versiche villäicht déi eng oder aner Rees ob eng Convention respektiv an e Musée ze organiséieren.
• Falls ee Späicherplaz fir eng Websäit brauch kenne mer och eventuell hëllefe je nu Quantitéit déi gebraucht gëtt
• Iwwert den ISeeT TV YouTube Channel huele mer déi eng oder aner Schoulung ob.
• Mir loossen alles ob a kucke wat ee soss eventuell kann ëmsetzen oder och net.

Fazit

Zefridde Computer Notzer sinn eis Ziel!
Mir hoffen sou villen Leit wei méiglech kenne mat eisen Infoen a Berodungen ze hëllefen.

A simple definition of computer hardware is “any physical parts or components that contribute to a computer system.” There are several different kinds of hardware inside a PC. Both desktop and laptop PCs include these types of hardware, though the size and type differ because of a laptop’s compact design.

Think of computer hardware as the parts of your computer that you can see and touch. These are the tangible components that are likely fitted together inside your computer case and installed with a screwdriver.

So computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), motherboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, and computer case. It includes external devices such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers.

By contrast, software is the set of instructions that can be stored and run by hardware. Hardware is so-termed because it is hard or rigid with respect to changes, whereas software is soft because it is easy to change.

Hardware is typically directed by the software to execute any command or instruction. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system, although other systems exist with only hardware.

Software is a collection of programs and data that tell a computer how to perform specific tasks. Software often includes associated software documentation. This is in contrast to hardware, from which the system is built and which actually performs the work.

At the lowest programming level, executable code consists of machine language instructions supported by an individual processor—typically a central processing unit (CPU) or a graphics processing unit (GPU). Machine language consists of groups of binary values signifying processor instructions that change the state of the computer from its preceding state. For example, an instruction may change the value stored in a particular storage location in the computer—an effect that is not directly observable to the user. An instruction may also invoke one of many input or output operations, for example, displaying some text on a computer screen, causing state changes that should be visible to the user. The processor executes the instructions in the order they are provided, unless it is instructed to "jump" to a different instruction or is interrupted by the operating system. As of 2024, most personal computers, smartphone devices, and servers have processors with multiple execution units, or multiple processors performing computation together, so computing has become a much more concurrent activity than in the past.

The majority of software is written in high-level programming languages. They are easier and more efficient for programmers because they are closer to natural languages than machine languages. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler, an interpreter, or a combination of the two. Software may also be written in a low-level assembly language that has a strong correspondence to the computer's machine language instructions and is translated into machine language using an assembler.

Apple and Google have led a cross-industry effort to bring end-to-end encryption to Rich Communication Services (RCS), making the cross-platform messaging format that replaces traditional SMS more secure and private.

Starting today, end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging begins rolling out in beta for iPhone users running iOS 26.5 with supported carriers and Android users on the latest version of Google Messages. When RCS messages are end-to-end encrypted, they can’t be read while they’re sent between devices. Users will know that a conversation is end-to-end encrypted when they see a new lock icon in their RCS chats. Encryption is on by default and will be automatically enabled over time for new and existing RCS conversations.

iMessage was built with privacy in mind and has always been end-to-end encrypted. It remains the best way to communicate between Apple devices.

The encrypted messaging platform Signal is preparing new security measures aimed at reducing phishing scams targeting its users. The move follows a series of social-engineering attacks against politicians, journalists, and military personnel in Germany.

According to Signal president Meredith Whittaker, the app will soon display stronger warnings whenever users receive messages from unknown phone numbers for the first time. Accepting new contacts will also require additional confirmation steps instead of a simple one-click action.

The recent attacks reportedly targeted several high-ranking German officials, including Bundestag president Julia Klöckner and cabinet ministers Verena Hubertz and Karin Prien. German security agencies suspect that actors connected to Russia may be involved in the campaign.

Signal emphasized that its encryption systems were never compromised. Instead, attackers relied on manipulation tactics — commonly known as social engineering — to convince victims to reveal credentials or link accounts to attacker-controlled devices.

One common trick involved fake accounts pretending to be “Signal Support.” Victims were pressured into sharing verification codes or PINs, allowing attackers to hijack accounts or silently monitor conversations through linked devices.

Whittaker also defended Signal’s privacy-focused design. She explained that preventing impersonation completely would require the company to actively scan user messages and profile data before encryption — something Signal refuses to do because it conflicts with the platform’s privacy principles.

The company says additional security improvements are currently being evaluated and more details will be announced soon. Signal also reminded users that the service will never contact people directly in private chats to request PINs, verification codes, or encryption keys.

PRESS RELEASE

Tim Cook to become :br(s): :br(m): :br(l): :br(xl):Apple Executive Chairman

John Ternus
to become Apple CEO

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple announced that Tim Cook will become executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors and John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become Apple’s next chief executive officer effective on September 1, 2026. The transition, which was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, follows a thoughtful, long-term succession planning process.

Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition. As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.

“It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be the CEO of Apple and to have been trusted to lead such an extraordinary company. I love Apple with all of my being, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a team of such ingenious, innovative, creative, and deeply caring people who have been unwavering in their dedication to enriching the lives of our customers and creating the best products and services in the world,” said Cook. “John Ternus has the mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator, and the heart to lead with integrity and with honor. He is a visionary whose contributions to Apple over 25 years are already too numerous to count, and he is without question the right person to lead Apple into the future. I could not be more confident in his abilities and his character, and I look forward to working closely with him on this transition and in my new role as executive chairman.”

“I am profoundly grateful for this opportunity to carry Apple’s mission forward,” said Ternus. “Having spent almost my entire career at Apple, I have been lucky to have worked under Steve Jobs and to have had Tim Cook as my mentor. It has been a privilege to help shape the products and experiences that have changed so much of how we interact with the world and with one another. I am filled with optimism about what we can achieve in the years to come, and I am so happy to know that the most talented people on earth are here at Apple, determined to be part of something bigger than any one of us. I am humbled to step into this role, and I promise to lead with the values and vision that have come to define this special place for half a century.”

Arthur Levinson, who has been Apple’s non-executive chairman for the past 15 years, will become its lead independent director on September 1, 2026. Ternus will join the board of directors, also effective September 1, 2026.

“Tim’s unprecedented and outstanding leadership has transformed Apple into the world’s best company. He’s introduced groundbreaking products and services time and again, and his integrity and values are infused into everything Apple does,” said Levinson. “On behalf of the entire board of directors, we are incredibly grateful for his countless contributions to Apple and the world, and we are thrilled he will now be executive chairman. We believe John is the best possible leader to succeed Tim and as he transitions to CEO we know his love of Apple, his leadership, deep technical knowledge, and relentless focus on creating great products will help lead Apple to an extraordinary future.”

“I want to thank Art for the incredible work he has done leading the board of directors for the past 15 years,” said Cook. “I have always found his advice to be invaluable and I appreciate his thoughtfulness and his unwavering dedication to the company. I am grateful he will serve as our lead independent director, and I look forward to working with him in my new role.”

Tim Cook joined Apple in 1998. He became CEO in 2011 and has overseen the introduction of numerous products and services, including new categories like Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro, and services ranging from iCloud and Apple Pay to Apple TV and Apple Music. He was also instrumental in expanding existing product lines. Under Cook’s leadership Apple has grown from a market capitalization of approximately $350 billion to $4 trillion, representing a more than 1,000% increase, and yearly revenue has nearly quadrupled, from $108 billion in fiscal year 2011 to more than $416 billion in fiscal year 2025. The company has expanded its global footprint substantially, particularly in emerging markets; it is now in more than 200 countries and territories. Apple operates over 500 retail stores and has more than doubled the number of countries in which its customers can visit an Apple Store. During his tenure, Apple has grown by more than 100,000 team members and increased its active installed base to more than 2.5 billion devices.

Apple Services has been a major focus area of Cook’s, and during his tenure the category has grown to become a more than $100 billion business, the equivalent of a Fortune 40 company. Cook was also instrumental in creating the wearables category at Apple, which now includes the world’s most popular watch and headphones, and which has served as the foundation for Apple’s remarkable impact on the health and safety of its users. Under Cook’s leadership, Apple also transitioned to Apple-designed silicon, enabling the company to own more of its primary technology and deliver industry-leading gains in power efficiency and performance that directly benefit users across its products.

Cook has made Apple’s core values even more central to the company’s decision making and product development. Under his leadership, the company reduced its carbon footprint by more than 60 percent below 2015 levels during a period in which revenue nearly doubled. Cook, who has long advocated for privacy as a fundamental human right, has made privacy and security imperative at Apple, setting a standard for user protection that continues to set the company apart from the rest of the technology industry. He has also pushed for continued innovation in the accessibility space, believing that Apple products should be made for everyone. And he has made central to his leadership the notion that Apple should be a place where everyone can feel they belong and where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Ternus joined Apple’s product design team in 2001 and became a vice president of Hardware Engineering in 2013. He joined the executive team in 2021 as senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. Throughout his tenure at Apple, Ternus has overseen hardware engineering work on a variety of groundbreaking products across every category. He was instrumental in the introduction of multiple new product lines, including iPad and AirPods, as well as many generations of products across iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch.

Ternus’s work on Mac has helped the category become more powerful and more popular globally than at any time in its 40-year history. That includes the recent introduction of MacBook Neo, an all-new laptop that makes the Mac experience even more accessible to more people around the world. This past fall, his team’s efforts were on full display with the introduction of a redefined iPhone lineup, including the incredibly powerful iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the radically thin and durable iPhone Air, and the iPhone 17, which has been an incredible upgrade for users. Under his leadership, his team also drove advancements in AirPods to make them the world’s best in-ear headphones, with unprecedented active noise cancellation, as well as the capability to become an all-in-one hearing health system that can serve as over-the-counter hearing aids.

Ternus led much of the company’s focus in areas like reliability and durability, introducing new techniques that have made Apple products remarkably resilient. He has also driven much of Apple’s innovation in materials and hardware design that have reduced the carbon footprint of its products, including the creation of a new, recycled aluminum compound that has been introduced across multiple product lines, the use of 3-D printed titanium in Apple Watch Ultra 3, and innovations in repairability that have increased the lifespans of several Apple products.

Prior to Apple, Ternus worked as a mechanical engineer at Virtual Research Systems. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.

UPDATE

Apple accelerates environmental progress with highest‑ever recycled material in its products

New milestones include removing plastic from packaging, using 100 percent recycled cobalt in Apple-designed batteries, and replenishing more than half of Apple’s corporate water use

Apple today announced that a record 30 percent of material across all of its products shipped in 2025 came from recycled content.¹ The achievement, along with other key progress milestones Apple shared today, is the result of innovation by teams across Apple and deep collaboration with its global supply chain. As part of this work, Apple now uses 100 percent recycled cobalt in all the batteries it designs and 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets.² The company also accomplished its goal to remove plastic from packaging, with Apple products now shipping in fiber-based packaging that can be easily recycled at home.³

“At Apple, we believe deeply in leaving the world better than we found it, and that commitment runs across everything we do,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “These milestones in our work to protect the planet show that ambitious goals can also be powerful engines of innovation. And as always, we’ll keep pushing to build on this progress even more.”

In its annual Environmental Progress Report released today, Apple marked progress toward Apple 2030, the company’s ambitious goal to be carbon neutral across its entire footprint by the end of this decade. Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 remain down over 60 percent compared to 2015 levels, holding constant from 2024 even in a year of significant business growth. The report highlights additional progress in renewable energy, materials innovation and recycling, water stewardship, and zero waste.

“Across every part of our business, we’re showing how innovation and collaboration can turn big ideas and bold ambitions into measurable progress,” said Sabih Khan, Apple’s chief operating officer. “From expanding recycled material to removing plastic from our packaging, we’re setting new benchmarks that inspire us to reach further and work even harder for the good of people and planet.”

As Apple celebrates Earth Day with its teams, partners, and customers around the world — including with a special offer for users who bring in their Apple devices for recycling at participating Apple Store locations⁴ — here’s a look at the progress the company is making across its environmental initiatives.

Setting New Benchmarks for Recycled Content

On top of hitting 30 percent recycled content across all of its products shipped in 2025, Apple also reached several targets for recycled content in select components last year. Today, all batteries designed by Apple are made with 100 percent recycled cobalt, and all magnets are made with 100 percent recycled rare earth elements. Additionally, all Apple-designed printed circuit boards are made with 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering. Whether materials are recycled or primary, Apple is committed to sourcing all materials responsibly, and drives high standards for human rights and the environment across its supply chain.

Innovating to Remove Plastic

Apple completed the transition to 100 percent fiber-based packaging last year, fulfilling its pledge to remove plastic from packaging by 2025. Over the past 10 years, Apple engineers and designers have developed alternatives to common packaging components, replacing plastic screen protectors and trays with versions made with recycled or responsibly sourced paper. They also innovated to make packaging more recyclable, designing the largest boxes, like for the new Studio Display XDR, to collapse into smaller pieces that fit into a home recycling bin. Apple avoided more than 15,000 metric tons of plastic in the past five years alone — the equivalent of about 500 million plastic water bottles.⁵

Investing in Next-Generation Recycling Technology

As the company expands the use of recycled material in its products, Apple is also developing new technology to help maximize the material recovered from devices at the end of their life. Apple launched Cora, a new world-class electronics-recycling line located at the Advanced Recovery Center in California. Designed and built in the U.S., Cora uses precision shredding and advanced sensor technology to achieve material recovery rates that are significantly higher than industry baselines. Apple also developed A.R.I.S., a new detection system powered by machine learning, to help recyclers efficiently classify and sort electronic scrap. Leveraging the A.R.I.S. software, which runs on Mac mini, Apple is piloting new, industry-deployable recycling tools with partner recyclers.

Expanding Renewable Energy Across Apple’s Footprint

Apple’s direct suppliers procured more than 20 gigawatts of renewable energy last year as part of the Supplier Clean Energy Program, generating more than 38 million megawatt-hours of electricity. That’s enough clean electricity to power more than 3.4 million U.S. households for a year.⁶ Apple procured an additional 1.8 gigawatts of renewable energy to power its offices, retail stores, and data centers with 100 percent renewable electricity. And the company is advancing toward its Apple 2030 goal by enabling new renewable energy projects around the world to help match the energy customers use to charge and power their Apple products with 100 percent clean electricity.

Conserving and Replenishing Fresh Water Around the World

Last year, Apple and its suppliers saved 17 billion gallons of fresh water — enough to fill more than 25,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The company is also driving water conservation efforts across its corporate operations, and by 2030, is working to replenish all of the fresh water withdrawn to support Apple’s facilities worldwide through innovative, long-term partnerships designed to save, restore, and secure water at the watershed level. In 2025, Apple’s contracted projects replenished more than half the water it withdrew to support its global offices, data centers, and retail stores. Additionally, all eight Apple-owned data centers have now been certified to the Alliance for Water Stewardship standard.

Launching the Lowest-Carbon MacBook

Earlier this year, Apple launched MacBook Neo, which was built from the ground up to be the company’s lowest-carbon MacBook. Featuring 60 percent recycled content overall, MacBook Neo has the most recycled content of any Apple device yet, including 100 percent recycled cobalt in the battery and 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets.⁷ Its beautiful, durable enclosure is manufactured with a material-efficient forming process that uses half the raw material compared to traditional machining methods. And to conserve water in its production, Apple and its suppliers developed an enhanced, new anodization process that achieved a 70 percent water-reuse rate — transforming a traditionally water-intensive process into a closed-loop system that continuously recycles and recirculates water, preserving fresh water for only the most critical uses. Apple is working to expand this anodization process to additional production lines in the coming years.

Driving Waste to Zero

Through recycling, composting, and waste reduction efforts across all of its global facilities, Apple reached a waste diversion rate of 75 percent last year. And earlier this year, Apple Fifth Avenue became the company’s first-ever retail store to achieve TRUE Zero Waste Certification, which recognizes facilities that divert more than 90 percent of their waste from landfills. Apple Fifth Avenue joins five data centers and four corporate campuses that have already earned the certification at the platinum level. Across the supply chain, Apple and its suppliers redirected more than 600,000 metric tons of waste from landfills in 2025, with 400 supplier facilities actively participating in the company’s Zero Waste Program. All Apple products continue to ship from final assembly sites that maintain zero-waste-to-landfill operations.⁸

Celebrating Earth Day by Recycling with Apple

As part of Apple’s Earth Day celebration, customers who recycle an eligible Apple product at their local participating Apple Store from now until May 16 can receive 10 percent off Apple AirPods or accessories. Products brought to Apple for free recycling undergo thorough screenings, and eligible devices are sent to Apple’s advanced recycling systems, including Daisy and Cora, for further processing.

1. Apple defines recycled content in alignment with ISO 14021. Total recycled material shipped in products is driven by product material composition and volume of units sold.
2. Excludes inventory for replacement and repair, as well as excess inventory purchased prior to year-end currently being consumed and representing less than 0.1 percent of total material usage.
3. Apple achieved its goal of removing plastic in its packaging and transitioning to 100 percent fiber-based packaging. Every package manufactured today is made with 100 percent fiber-based materials. Apple’s goal excluded the inks, coatings, or adhesives used in its packaging. Existing inventory shipped with plastic-containing packaging will be sold until consumed to avoid waste. This category represented less than 0.4 percent of Apple’s total packaging footprint in fiscal year 2025.
4. Offer available to customers who recycle an eligible Apple device and purchase a new eligible AirPods or accessory in the same transaction between April 16 and May 16, 2026. Only at Apple Store locations. See apple.com/promo for additional terms.
5. Savings from 2021 to 2025 were calculated by multiplying each year’s sales volume by the previous year’s estimated plastic per unit for each product line, and then subtracting that year’s estimated plastic use. The water bottle equivalent assumes each bottle weighs 30 grams.
6. Source based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator: epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator.
7. Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in-box accessories.
8. All established final-assembly supplier sites — or those that have been Apple suppliers for more than one year — for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro have been third-party verified by UL Solutions against the UL 2799 Zero Waste to Landfill Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP). UL Solutions requires at least 90 percent diversion through methods other than waste-to-energy to achieve Zero Waste to Landfill designations.

Over the time your Windows might get slow and this not due to the system in itself but simply maybe because the TRIM isn't executed on your System.

You can check this by right clicking the start menu and than choose "Terminal (Admin)"

First you gonna do a speed test with the following command and result:

winsat disk -drive c


!!! THIS IS THE RESULT YOU'LL SEE !!!



Windows System Assessment Tool

> Average Read Time with Random Writes         0.052 ms          8.9
> Total Run Time 00:00:08.94

Important in the result are the Disk Sequential 64 Read and Write.

Now you execute this command here:

defrag /O c:


!!! THIS IS THE RESULT YOU'LL SEE !!!

Invoking retrim on Windows (C:)...


The operation completed successfully.

Post Defragmentation Report:

        Volume Information:
                Volume size                 = 476,47 GB
                Free space                  = 244,79 GB

        Retrim:
                Total space trimmed         = 248,31 GB

The result can take some seconds as also some minutes.

This will force a retrim on your SSD! - PAY ATTENTION: Never let run a normal defrag on a SSD as you will reduce his lifetime with that!

Now execute the first command again and compare the Disk Sequential Values with each other.

In my case they were nearly the same on the one machine and on another about 300MB/s in difference. If they are nearly the same this is good as this normally means that your TRIM is working correctly.

Microsoft Windows defrag has this integrated and you can schedule this execution on a regular basis (weekly).
Search defrag and optimization in the start menu:

Check on the bottom here if the scheduled optimization are active or not:

If you click on change settings you should see this:

And under Drives you click Choose to check if your SSD is also checked:

Sometimes the schedule is active but the disc isn't activated.

I did some reviews here and had a used in my rating system also a star system for different options of the product (visible here)

But as I only have 5 stars as option and not even half stars even that the developper told me that he will check to implement it I give that up as this is no several month old without a feedback.

So for the future I may do it like for my latest rating (see here). Simply an overall rating (where I also can say 3.7 or 1.2 etc.) and the different other options I simply put in a positive and/or negative list.

I think this is more easy and better at the end

PRESS RELEASE

Apple introduces AirPods Max 2

Powered by H2, AirPods Max are better than ever with more effective ANC, enhanced sound quality, and new features like Adaptive Audio and Live Translation

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced AirPods Max 2, bringing even better Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), elevated sound quality, and intelligent features to the iconic over-ear design. Powered by H2, features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, and Live Translation come to AirPods Max for the first time. The new AirPods Max also unlock creative possibilities for podcasters, musicians, and content creators, with useful features like studio-quality audio recording and camera remote.

AirPods Max 2 will be available to order starting March 25 in midnight, starlight, orange, purple, and blue, with availability beginning early next month.

“With the incredible performance of H2, AirPods Max are upgraded with up to 1.5x more effective ANC for the ultimate all-day listening experience,” said Eric Treski, Apple’s director of Audio Product Marketing. “The sound quality is remarkably clean, rich, and acoustically detailed — and when combined with capabilities like Personalized Spatial Audio, AirPods Max 2 deliver a profoundly immersive experience.”

Active Noise Cancellation Gets Even Better

Thanks to H2 and new computational audio algorithms, AirPods Max 2 deliver ANC that’s up to 1.5x more effective than the previous generation. This reduces even more noise — like airplane engines or commuter trains — so users can fully immerse themselves in music, work, or phone calls.

With a new digital signal processing algorithm optimized for H2 and the microphone array on AirPods Max, Transparency sounds even more natural so users can stay aware of their environment and those around them.

Highest-Fidelity Listening Experience

AirPods Max 2 feature a new high dynamic range amplifier for even cleaner audio while maintaining the incredible sound signature of AirPods Max. Spatial Audio content sounds better than ever, with improved localization of instruments, more accurate and consistent bass response, and more natural-sounding mids and highs.

For the highest-quality audio across music, movies, and games, the new AirPods Max support 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio when connected with the included USB-C cable. Lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio enable music creators to fully utilize AirPods Max throughout their entire professional workflow on Logic Pro and other music creation apps. Using the USB-C cable, AirPods Max are the only headphones that let musicians both create and mix in Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking.¹

Reduced wireless audio latency also makes gaming even better. For those using AirPods Max 2 and playing in Game Mode, iOS, macOS, and iPadOS games feel even more responsive and immersive.

Intelligent Features Come to AirPods Max

H2 ushers in an array of features that make AirPods Max 2 even more intelligent and convenient.

• Adaptive Audio adjusts the levels of ANC and Transparency in response to the environment automatically to optimize the audio experience.²
• Conversation Awareness helps lower content volume and reduce background noise when a user starts speaking to someone nearby.²
• Live Translation, powered by Apple Intelligence,³ helps users communicate across languages in person.⁴
• Voice Isolation uses advanced computational audio powered by H2 to prioritize the voice during calls, while blocking out ambient noise.²
• With camera remote, users can capture content at a distance by pressing the Digital Crown to take a photo and start or stop video recording while using the Camera app or compatible third-party camera apps on iPhone or iPad.
• Studio-quality audio recording allows interviewers, podcasters, singers, and other creators to record their content with higher-quality audio and more natural vocal texture.⁵
• Loud Sound Reduction helps users prevent exposure to loud environmental noise while preserving the sound signature of what they’re listening to.
• Personalized Volume automatically fine-tunes the listening experience for users based on their preferences over time.²
• Siri Interactions allow users to conveniently and privately respond to Siri announcements by simply nodding their head yes or gently shaking their head no.

AirPods Max 2 and the Environment

Apple 2030 is the company’s ambitious plan to be carbon neutral across its entire footprint by the end of this decade by reducing product emissions from their three biggest sources: materials, electricity, and transportation. AirPods Max 2 are made with 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, 100 percent recycled polyester in the ear cushion, and 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards. The paper packaging is 100 percent fiber-based and can be easily recycled.⁶

UPDATE

Apple today announced it will mark its 50th anniversary, celebrating five decades of thinking different and the innovations that have helped shape the way people connect, create, learn, and experience the world.

Since its founding on April 1, 1976, Apple has been driven by a belief that progress comes from those who challenge convention and imagine what could be. That spirit of thinking different has led to products and services that have transformed entire industries and enriched the lives of people around the globe. From groundbreaking products like Apple II and Macintosh, to iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, and to services that users rely on every day, from the App Store to Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV, Apple has consistently combined powerful technology with intuitive design to empower individuals to do extraordinary things.

While Apple is known for looking forward, this milestone offers a special moment to reflect on the journey that has brought the company here, to celebrate the people and communities who have thought different with us, and to honor the enduring values that continue to guide our work.

To mark this occasion, CEO Tim Cook has shared a letter on apple.com reflecting on the company’s history and values, and celebrating people who have shaped Apple over the past 50 years.

In the coming weeks, Apple and its global community will celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, recognizing the creativity, innovation, and impact that people around the world have made possible with Apple technology.

“Thinking different has always been at the heart of Apple,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “It’s what has driven us to create products that empower people to express themselves, to connect, and to create something wonderful. As we celebrate 50 years, we are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey and who continues to inspire what comes next.”

From the beginning, Apple has believed that technology alone is not enough. It is the intersection of technology and the liberal arts, guided by a human touch, that makes its products meaningful. That belief continues to shape Apple’s work today, from advancing Apple Intelligence, to creating products and services designed with privacy at their core, built for accessibility and created with the planet in mind.

As Apple celebrates this milestone, the company remains focused on the future and on continuing to think different in the years ahead. Apple will continue to innovate in groundbreaking silicon, life-enriching products, transformative software, and services that improve people’s lives, while deepening its commitments to environmental responsibility, education, and community impact around the world.
