Models with more ram have also increased in price around 20%. The M4 Pro base configuration went up $200. It’s just that nobody cares about Mac minis.

Yeah, good luck with that. Captchas are basically useless in today’s world, so are IP rate limits for anything just a little sophisticated. Of course it helps, but if you think this solves all problems, you live in a dream world.

there's bad actors that use bots to sign up to websites using bogus data.

There's a lot of false negatives because emails get stuck for hours, get blocked by the spam filter or fail to be delivered for whatever reasons.

Then that's an issue where GDPR steps in. Obviously privacy is important. But so is user choice. Again, this specific problem we're talking about here is about user choice. Privacy is a different concern entirely. Is Facebook evil

If you decide to upload all your data to $company, that’s your choice. I don’t see why a user shouldn’t have the choice to do that. People already have all their data with Google and Meta, so I don’t see why this would be an issue for many.

it's more Apple's attempt to prevent users to choose their own models. Apple could build it in a way that other model providers could safely and securely interface with the Spotlight index. They could implement a big warning t

Much better. Now just add a freaking search button. That's literally your primary function, and you're lacking the button to do the one thing. I understand as a power user you don't press on buttons, but from a UX perspecti

Okay, so in order to do a test search, I have to: 1) type in a query and hit enter because there's no search button. 2) click signup, even though I want to evaluate it before creating an account. 3) apparently now I'm signed up wi

Yeah, so it's just business as usual: If you have ungodly amounts of money, you can essentially do anything, and if you don't, you can't. It's always been this way, and it'll always be this way. I don't see thi
