I think the Office team might feel that way. I'm not sure the rest of the company does. (We'd probably have seen a bit more movement towards making DirectX workable on M-series chips if that were a broad MS feeling.)

I doubt it. For a start, it doesn't appear from Windows 11 that "looking, feeling or acting like the Windows UI that users want" is actually something very high up the priority list for Microsoft.

But that is also the case in the UK. Indeed more so, the UK has nothing as wide ranging as US Fair Use, just a much more narrow list of permitted allowances.

That's not the case here. The IA lost the case because the testified in court they didn't actually check and had never built a mechanism to check that the libraries involved weren't letting out the physical books at the same

That's not really going to be the issue anyway. The issue is if the liabilities of having done this result in the organisation going bankrupt. Note that the plaintiffs have already stated that is not their aim. Even then, the likelihoo

I wonder if you could utilise WebVR and this to build a reasonably performant VR application on a Mac. Of course, that would require there being Quest drivers and software to get any traction...

That's fundamentally not true. If someone is a hardcore gamer then they probably weren't buying Macs, but most customers do a bit of everything, and I would wager a very significant percentage of Mac users want to game a bit . Bu

Or try and make the Mac appealing to more markets. Maybe there might be some acceptance that having no gaming strategy whatsoever is actually not great?

by Mindwipe 4y ago
I think also as the range of stuff the Mac does continues to contract (less software as legacy was dumped for 32 bit, no boot camp, shrinking gaming) the applications that need significant power continue to shrink. There's really not m

Why not both? (Also I think Apple have a long term issue that the MacOS software story is very, very bad and getting worse and now the sheer performance hype of the M chips has worn off customers might actually look at things like "thi

The sticker shock of having to purchase the RAM/storage for the lifetime of the device isn't typical, and is above market rates for those things.

Seriously, this is the most obvious attack vector imaginable, and there is not really any mitigation for it.

Generally speaking it just means more shows with fewer or singular writers, and without ensemble casts. A bit part of making shows with 22 -24 episode seasons was having a cast of circa nine main characters, so you could film three of them

It is worth noting that Libraries in the UK have to pay authors/publishers to loan out books on a royalty basis with the Public Lending Right payment of course. Even physical books.

Obviously there are lots of jurisdictions and you have to hit a broad brush with answers, but generally, no. Your reproduction is only considered to be reasonable by law while you retain the original.

It's only one of the tests, but in legal terms and precident it is a very strong one that HN frequently underestimates. It's not impossible for a case to win when competing against a licensing scheme, but it is very, very, very ha

One of the reasons the IA has lost (at least so far) here is that the judge noted they do not really do that, and have no mechanisms in place for doing that. I thought the IA was in a bad place before, but they got very shown up in court.

It isn't how a library works in basically every country in the world for books printed on paper except the US. Almost every other state pays authors a royalty when their books are loaned out by a library.

The more obvious explanation is that a lot of the Kindle team were let go in the recent layoffs, and there now isn't enough people to run the service so everything non-essential is going to shift people over to keeping the lights on (t
