Still make no sense, I agree the window is a good policy to force lazy vendors to act as they should. But what’s the point of reducing the window for nice vendors who quickly delivered a patch? This is totally counter productive. In order t

Yeah but maybe it would be nice for users to keep that extra time in order to maximize the probability that they have actually updated software at disclosure time. Disclosing in advance is a bad policy, it will just incentive good behaving

Can’t agree more iOS 7 design goal was to get rid of skeuomorphism. This goal was so overachieved than young readers probably will have to google the term.

Or maybe just maybe market decided that this was actually the best form factor for computer so far? Maybe also not unrelated to the fact that screens are rectangle... You can’t blame Apple as it’s one of the few company that actually tried

Can you develop in which way this is supposedly worse than for say the hp laptop of my wife that ran out of warranty after 1 year without official removable battery parts sold by the manufacturer? Also touchscreen start to literally fell of

That’s also making the point if you need to edit your message because you stand corrected, while very nice and very honest of you, it was misrepresentation at first shot. Beside you can also imagine than two decade experience with replaceab

I think that telling you that my 2002 PPC iBook actually had remplaçables batteries, as well as all Apple laptop of that era, is pretty much proving misrepresentation... They were very practical (especially when video playback autonomy was

TL;DR; If we overcome massive engineering challenges (such as capturing CO2, crafting materials that handle nuclear reaction at very hight temperature and manage to successfully confine all irradiated byproducts) we could theoretically deco

They sure could, but is it worthy to maintain an alternative package and deployment system for which you have no use yourself? Will employees be careful and committed to something useless for their jobs? They previously deprecated Java runt

It’s pretty funny though that you consider a few dozen Apple broken devices as "a collection" meanwhile a few dozen of Android broken devices is generally considered "a pile of thrash". And this effect is massive last we

This is related to default implementation details, this behavior can be achieved using trigger/materialized view on PostgreSQL as well.

Could you name some I’m pretty curious? For my use case it’s a no brainer because only PostgreSQL have a decent GIS extension, last time I checked Oracle was lagging well behind.

More important IRC don’t enable to browse history as far as I known. Meanwhile tweet can persist enabling asynchronous conversation, so it’s more like a very lightweight forum than IRC. Edit: But the tree structure for reply is actually mo

And on a more fundamental standpoint I get that disk space is cheap theses days. But you just doubled, if not worse, the storage space required for a key for a vague reason. It may never make any difference on a small dataset, where storage

And is that respectful of the AppStore rules? I’m not sure people realize that App that provide system wide functionality using borderline workaround are only one step away from becoming straight spyware. But again can’t read article so I m

I’m paywalled so can’t be sure, but do they explain how theses apps were able to track others app usage in the first place without breaching their sandboxing pledge?

Hello I’m a MBP owner with no keyboard problems after 2 years and I’m actually very happy to know that if I ever got an issue it will be replaced for free thanks to the extended repair program. I am really alone??? Are others commenters all

This don’t add up, multiply by shares outstanding and it’s 2.4 Billions while Qualcomm was looking for over 7 Billions. So, quite logically , they must’ve have settle for some middle ground.

by Twisell 8y ago
Or a fraction of that. Depend on the secret deal. Could as well be a symbolic 1$ if Qualcomm lawyers determined that it was a lost case and that settling it fast could prevent any additional harm in related antitrust cases.

They built it there because the river was there... you don’t choose where is hydropower. That the damm was built before the adequate power grid is operational will be totally irrelevant in a few years. Maybe they seize the opportunity to mi

Can’t you, at least, activate limited ads tracking in iOS so that each app get a different "phoneID" making cross profiling more difficult?

There is another lawsuit in which Apple and chipmakers are both plaintiffs against Qualcomm. But it’s overly complicated with cross appeal all over the place. It’ll probably end up with a settlement and this specific case should be seen as

Actually there are multiple suits worldwide against Qualcomm exactly because this business model is in question. Plaintiffs are Apple, chipmakers, regulations agency, and many concurrents if not plaintifs supported case against Qualcomm. Ap

By the way since when do they directly sell refurbished iPhones??? Maybe it’s old news in the US but it look like it’s the first time I’ve seen them in the French Apple store and it’s actually a great news in itself. I don’t trust carriers

Tell that to the Python community where switch to UTF8 was/is a huge battle! Swift is meant to be retro compatible with Obj-C and all. As someone pointed out windows in the meantime have basically no announced battle plan to transition

Wait are you saying that Apple Developer program for 99$/year is actually quite a good deal in comparison? I will definitely pull this thread out next time someone complain that Apple is too expensive and that they are milking the poor

Except that if it's a 2018 model they didn't actually paid money, it was take free of charge under one year worldwide guarantee even without an AppleCare Plan. And unless they very recently changed policy after the second failure
