Pretty much everything starts iOS first, so why bother with KMP when this exists?

Didn’t Flutter decide not to support Liquid Glass, because it’ll be too much work?

- Hot reload that actually works. - OTA updates, skipping Apple review for every little thing. Really speeds up builds too. - Repack and module federation aren’t even possible on native - running tests on iOS - 2 minutes minimum and having

Not a chance React Native is popular because there’s a thousand times more React devs than native devs. And people like to use what they know. Also React dev experience makes anything Swift related look like stone age technology

If the ICE apps do a PWA will the US government go after hosting providers?

Sorry, meant to say the EU. No clue how it works in the UK

There’s still plenty of options to get cashback and miles and stuff, though? Best cashback in my country is 1% back, capped at 500€ a year, after you do 33000€ worth of purchases a year.

Good luck with Amex in Europe - few places take it and after the 5-6 try, you just give up and get a normal card.

Well that’s why we need the digital euro, so we can stop sending billions overseas to Mastercard and Visa

That’s because credit card benefits suck in Europe and there’s no point to using them. If you need credit, there are credit options with much lower rates than what credit cards offer. And the reason credit card benefits suck is due to europ

Yep that needs to go as well

Exhibit A on why sideloading must be allowed and why Europe is right on this

At the end of the day - it’s not. Apple could have the greatest tech in the world, the least complexity, but if they don’t consistently show a graph that goes up in terms of revenue- they’ll find themselves irrelevant pretty quickly. Where

“Hey, we’ll willingly cut our revenue by 25%” I bet the investors and the stock price would LOVE that

That’ll go over well with investors. “Hey, we’ve decided to cut 25% of our revenue” The stock price would love it

Just do full and unconditional sideload and we'll be good. 90% of the users won't ever use it anyway.

Since it’s on device - it probably sucks anyway

So EU people can’t buy the e-SIM only version and thus get more battery? Wtf??

Do you mean Robotaxi or Cybercab? Robotaxi is just Model Ys that have a FSD version that they let on to some cities. It’s again something that’ll never make it outside the US, even though the market there is big enough for it to be sustaina

So if you don’t look at the Cybertruck, which basically can’t be sold outside North America, they haven’t had a new vehicle in 5 years. If you look at the existing vehicles: - they no longer sell Model S and X in Europe and right hand marke

Same in mine - started off as 800, had a salary freeze for a year, had a hiring freeze for now 2 years and after layoffs and people leaving we’re now at 480

Copilot sucks more at applying what the model is instructing it to do

> EV used cars are basically dead batteries Lol, no, they’re not. The average EV is likely in a better condition than the average ICE, due to the maintenance requirements on both

I upgraded to 20x because i was constantly running against Opus limits and now it seems the 20x is almost equal to the 5x in that regard
