> engineers work for the company, not for users Honestly I don't see a big difference between that sentiment and "I was just following orders". That kind of mindset eventually leads to situations like yesterday's head

And if the AI bubble is still going then with datacenter construction going as planned, the RAM shortage will be even more extreme than today despite higher production capacities.

The only two changes that matter to me are: no more iPhone Mini and no more hardware switch to mute the phone. Instead they got a new "thinnest iPhone ever" that's actually thicker than my 4+ year old one when measured honest

> he was just going to bomb all their infrastructure That's usually the idea ever since bombs were a thing. It just so happens that it's harder to actually pull off than to say it.

You could say the same about the Dock in Mac OS.

When a computer doesn't boot you don't need to compare it to another to see that it's broken. Some things are just obvious without comparison.

The border radius would be less jarring if the UI was actually designed for it. But it just cuts off elements like the scrollbar, which looks quite janky.

I don't maximize windows because it means a 1 second delay, as for some reason Mac OS still does the hardcoded workspace switching animation even for that. Which means entering/leaving fullscreen in a video player is also delayed

> compared to the Windows style where almost all windows are maximized and people use Alt-Tab to switch between windows Or just use the taskbar, which is literally made for switching between windows. Or it was, before Microsoft forgot it

> full screening a single app is a waste of valuable space Any space not used for the task I'm focused on is wasted. For me the actual problem is that switching apps/windows is too slow because of UI animations.

On Mac OS Settings is located in the menu named after the program, left of File and Edit . For example Firefox > Settings.

As someone who uses both that's news to me. For some reason its AI based image recognition doesn't seem to work anymore but it actually finds files based on their name, something that hasn't worked in Windows since at least W

Meanwhile I had to pirate Dark Souls 1 because Microsoft's own DRM prevented the legitimately purchased game from saving on Windows, and download official no-cd patches for two other games because their DRM stopped working. The problem

And yet if you asked that barista if you should walk to the car wash or take your car there, they would never respond with "you should take a walk, it's healthier than driving" like almost every LLM did in a test I saw. That

It's one thing to have trouble with the Intel CPUs, but that they still cannot sufficiently power and cool their ARM chips, especially in the most expensive models, is disappointing.

Assuming apps for which this is relevant respect users and specifically children in this day and age sounds naive. It's another free datapoint to collect, in the best case for targeted ads. Meta seems to be behind a lot of lobbying for

Assuming that these people (like me?) are "illiterate" and evil and didn't speak out about worse problems because they happen to disagree with this specific (also terrible) development is not a very charitable interpretation.

Quality silicone is probably the least worrying plastic material they could use considering it's used in implants and other medical applications.

The former will be mandated by law, the cookie law requires a way to opt out. Why would you not prefer avoiding a privacy violation over a guaranteed one that is smaller...for now?

That is a very dishonest way of framing these laws. Parental control does not need violating the privacy of every computer user. Also sharing the user's personal information does not prevent gambling or protect children, it does the op

One thing I don't see mentioned about wired & wireless is volume limitations. With wired headphones the number of steps in volume - or if there even are discrete steps - is only dictated by the device driving the headphones. With w

If UBI is so high that people can afford paying extra without working for it then maybe, but I don't think that is the idea behind UBI. There still needs to be an incentive for people to work, they should just be in a place where they
