Doesn’t it? I do trust the manufacturer of the thing that I keep within arms reach from the moment I get it, and which knows more about me than I do, to have better security than whatever the hell a TUYA is that controls the lights.
My experience with phones like that are that they tend to fall apart when subjected to impact, which is pretty counterproductive to features like, I don’t know, being able to use the phone immediately after an impact (car crash, fall).
google's ai says
Copy-pasting AI output is uninteresting and rude.
'Solved' by having measurably worse ingress protection than leading smartphones?
How do you think that this wouldn't "work in the current timeline"? This sounds like a deep misunderstanding of media.
How is the title misleading?
Everything involving geography is a regional feature because it takes time to create things for physical stuff across the physical world; its not just some arbitrary limitation like streaming media.
no 1st party Apple made hiking and topography map on the Apple Watch
I regularly use hiking and topography maps on my Apple Watch with the first party maps app, so it sure what you’re talking about
Some of these are questionable, but 3 and 5 stick out. Being included makes it sound like whoever wrote this list doesn’t really know what Zed is?
It’s a local text editor. The only thing an account gives you is access to their specific flavour of coding agent and a collaboration server.
If your payment lapses, they reserve the right to delete your account and all associated data with no liability.
Pretty much the only associated data is your payment info.
Your statement uses the presence of bugs to indicate a product is worth using.
This is not correct; "If a product is worth using, then it has bugs." (P→Q) does not imply its converse "If a product has bugs, then it is worth using." (Q→P). Buginess is presented as a necessary condition of being worth using, not a sufficient one.
It does, however, imply "If a product has no bugs, then it is not worth using.".
The thing they “didn’t want to [do]” was infringe on the Linux trademark.
including a new option coming this summer that will enable businesses in the U.S. and Canada to place local ads in Maps during key search and discovery moments.
The enshittification knows no bounds.
What else is a shame is claiming that some single language feature supports a foregone conclusion that the writing's been 'molested'. It's hard to imagine what a constructive comment this could've been with the minimum of effort to know that the author has written this way consistently since at least 2021, before the first public release of ChatGPT.
I think this’d be a good comment if it weren’t for the superiority complex :/
I’m fairly confident that the Venn diagram of (a) nine-year-olds that are playing with a computer and (b) people who claim that access to kernel source code is a prerequisite to “learning about computers” is two circles that are barely touching.
about money in the bank?
Yes, generally. That's the entire idea behind the stock market.
as an end user it is my problem when trying to complain in the right place
Not what iBeacon does but an entertainingly dramatic description nonetheless.
It is trivially easy to know that this isn’t true.
The API surface becomes the lowest common denominator of all the platforms it supports, possibly with a path to support platform-native features, but probably in a way that’s necessarily not as good as native.
I think we already have plenty of avenue in ‘solutions’ like Electron to let people build bad apps.
locally-installed software you own is usually a better choice.
It’s a good thing that’s exactly what this is, then.
Up Bank provides an API that enables these use cases: https://developer.up.com.au/
Making privacy some end-goal that PMs cut to meet targets is how you end up with Google redefining privacy to mean "only we have access to every aspect of your life, now and in the future".
If Apple takes the position that the UX has to fit in around the privacy requirements, so what? Privacy is a core pillar of their product identity—a built-in hallucinating compliments machine isn't.
nominally "selling" plots to people but with terms of service attached that restrict what you can do with the land you bought and that allow the company to change the terms at any time.
So, a lease.
It’s not misleading to measure the performance of WebAssembly in a web browser.
Then you can only adjust one thing at a time—so you’ve just created the worst of both worlds with a multi-touch display and live music software.
Cool, great. That’s got nothing to do with Activation Lock.
I own this iPad, as in: it's mine. Why should I, and why would I want to put MY device's access and security on the whims of company?
Great question! You did configure it that way, so it might be worth asking yourself.
The 10th and 11th generation iPads work with _both_ the Lightning Apple Pencil and the USB-C Apple Pencil.
The Lightning Apple Pencil was sold at a time when you could plug it directly into the compatible iPad, and it *came with the adapter*.
The current iPad is compatible with both, so you could use your old Apple Pencil with the new iPad.
You cannot buy a Lightning Apple Pencil anymore because Apple doesn’t sell them.
who knows what third-party retailers are doing.
Glad to know I was correct. They didn’t claim it was new or “never thought of before” at all—they even specifically pointed out how they already did it on their other products.
I’m pretty sure they almost spent more time talking about the colours of the phone.
