You don't need to. Use the alternatives.

Yeah I'm familiar with that. I guess it all depends on the sport and country. Ads during the sport is quite unusual in the UK for example so we get that NASCAR feed where the camera continues with no commentary during US ad breaks. We

1. I hate the MLB one the most. I'm international so maybe it works differently but each season they come up with these horrible clips that they play on repeat. Sometimes it's a little short history snippet or this season some stu

I wonder if they're AB testing? I think I got 2-3 ad breaks over an hour and each was just two 30sec ads.

I recently switched to the Netflix sub with ads. Totally worth it. The non-ads packages are ridiculously expensive now and the ads they show are few and far between.

If you're talking about sports stuff: 1. Now you just have a blank screen. Sure some people might like that but others will think there's an issue with the stream. 2. They're purchasing the rights to show the sports stuff, no

How does this work? In school if they’re forced to write in cursive surely they still have to write the same amount? And if it’s writing in their spare time that has reduced they can write non-cursive so that shouldn’t be a blocker.

I’d guess most people are endlessly scrolling photo/video on their phones rather than reading.

Because despite Apple having clear guidelines a huge number of developers think their 'custom UI' is what customers really want. When they don't. The best apps use system components and follow the HIG. Always have, always wil

They finally released the full experience a few months back. I think their original excuse (years ago) was that 'people take photos on iPhone so iPad is unnecessary for Instagram'.

I've never been super alarmist about this stuff. But recently was looking back and it really is staggering the amount of simple freedoms we've lost in the last 25 years. Partly through government overreach for 'security'

I think it only applies to newer accounts and individual rather than company accounts. To make things worse, Google doesn't allow you to switch an account from individual > company. You need to create a whole new account.

For all the complaining about Apple's store, the Play Store has always been worse imo. You can't even release an app without first doing a beta test with at least a dozen people.

They're both Israeli. Why should they leave their country? The right move is to expose the evils and try to improve it.

When was this different? The 'traditional masculine' man doesn't shop - his wife shops for him.

We need to go back to a time when a CEO 'trolling' or acting like this would be career suicide. It seems like half of the biggest tech companies are run by people with the emotional and social intelligence of 3 years olds.

Sending your new/potential customers to your competitor doesn't sound very sensible.

Personally I think it's a silly risk for Apple to do this - but don't Granola and a bunch of other high profile apps already do this? Add to that the number of meetings I'm on now filled with 'John's AI companion&#x

Doesn’t almost everyone finance their phone anyway? You pay a carrier x a month and get a phone and service for a few years. Maybe they’ll push the plan out from 2 years standard to 3 so it’s just as affordable for people?

Most people aren’t doing productivity. They’re watching videos and playing games. This would mean I don’t need my iPad on flights or when travelling. And when I’m travelling I don’t need to be doing productive things.

I don’t think it’ll face the developer interest problem. Devs go where the money is and consumers seem to love foldables.

What do you want them to say? It's an ATC issue. The airline don't know when it'll be fixed and can't do much until it is.

The problem is that if they did put together those instances the general public wouldn't use them. Most of the public don't want to see a politicians tweets. They share them on Twitter because people will have it put in front of t

File > Share is the same, just more user friendly language. I get it's a bit confusing if you've been using computers for a long time (it's certainly caught me out), but 'Share' makes much more sense. Especially

There's a menu item. I believe it's File > Share > then you choose how (save to disk, email, export to photos app etc). File > Save doesn't make sense because you would be saving your iMovie project. You're tryi
