But it literally isn't. A Mac doesn't need Apple's content to run software.

It describes Lego Fortnite more than Palworld I think.

Come on. The YouTube Music app blocks you from navigating to a different song at the same time as playing a track if it decides that the track is primarily aimed at under 18s (such as the theme from a retro cartoon). It's UI might char

That app literally broke YouTube's agreements with the music labels though (by allowing free downloads etc), which this one doesn't.

This strikes me as the best review I've seen if you read the text (I'm not sure x/10 is useful). I learned a lot about it, including quite a few things Apple has been quite coy about.

Have they considered the War Thunder Discord?

It's pretty amusing the article rather undercuts it's own point by having an ending that makes no sense as the writer didn't bother to fact check who said the closing quote until after publication. Journalism and the commenta

Not significantly as most of the growth is outside the US and there are far fewer of those deals overseas (not none, but far less).

by Mindwipe 3y ago
Yes it does. It didn't when the Netflix app launched, but the Quest 2 and 3 support Widevine Level 1.

Also developers would just put their own application logic to detect portal size etc and disable it that way.

Not in Safari you can't. Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera only. Either Google only built it to use Widevine (which Safari doesn't support) or Safari's limitations on the amount of data that can be stored make it too unreliable

Meta funded some of those apps. Meta developed the Netflix one in-house for example. I doubt Apple would offer that.

> 3. Doesn’t Sootify also take a 30% cut to allow artists on their platform? LOL No. Spotify would not be in so much trouble as a business if it did anything like that.

Apple's storekit offering does not permit that, which I am not sure would survive a court challenge.

No, they're not. It's actually quite rare for that to happen. Nobody uploaded Stranger Things S4 in UHD until after the season had finished for example.

That key was revoked the day the article was published.

Widevine L1 certainly seems to be holding up well enough to prevent major Netflix shows being released in 4K via torrent sites for weeks or months after launch.

by Mindwipe 3y ago
The BBC certainly apply Widevine or Fairplay to iPlayer downloads. The BBC buys in very little, all told, and I suspect they will move to Widevine at some point.

That's L3, not L1.

Those keys were downgraded to L3.

No, it literally isn't. They are two separate and unrelated legal concepts. I'm sorry but you are literally wrong. A "right" is something a state body (and usually third parties) must actively facilitate. I am required t
