They can't because smartphones are almost entirely closed to this idea and that's the most important device for consumer adoption. Although Android is slightly more open there are, after ~17 years, zero mainstream Play Store alte

As they say, money brings out the worst in people - they might rethink if they could scale to 3 billion consumers at relatively little cost and keep the proceeds for themselves.

Of course it is, the playing field is stacked with companies leeching off it - massive profit margins for TSMC, Nvidia, RAM manufacturers, AWS/Azure/Google Cloud, and a 30% fee for using your smartphone.

You've covered a lot of the visible stuff but I would also go deeper into their API endpoints and make sure users can only access their own stuff, endpoints can't be repurposed to do destructive things, passwords are irreversibly

This isn't referring to the efforts Google has gone to try to thwart sideloading. It is another requirement of Google's, where all developers must be registered to them and apps must be signed by them and anything that isn't

I really like OpenAPI in conjunction with openapi-fetch to create a typed interface for frontends/tests/etc to leverage. I especially like deleting the manual types that get strewn around frontends with inaccuracies, bespoke clas

Hasn't it cost them $100s of billions to earn that money? Don't they need $100s of billions more to keep the ball rolling?

They're on a dark path, when I signed in using a different device (on the same home network) it triggered a total block on my account that required adding an email address.

Why are you calling your portals "Official"? Wouldn't it be more traditional to disclaim you are unofficial and unaffiliated with these agencies?

Why is 10+ unreasonable? The M1 was sold right up until last year in new devices so it presumably has another decade of support left - that'll be a 15 year span! It certainly wouldn't make sense to declare M1 devices trash while

I personally prefer iOS but Android is on a much more interesting trajectory technically, building in desktop mode, x86 emulation and virtualization have some really exciting possibilities. There's videos on YouTube of Android phones

Apple allows them now, since about a minute before the first third party app store in the EU was going to have them lol. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/05/app-store-guidelines-em...

It's the hardware, Mac is/was also the best Windows machine and Linux machine so it's not necessarily the OS. Generally speaking Apple focuses on providing a small product line with a lot more thought going into the design of

I think the biggest value Apple gets from Asahi is they can point EU regulators at it as proof the Mac isn't a closed platform that should be a designated DMA gatekeeper. They don't need Asahi to be complete, they just need it to

Compared to having even less software? Yes. Compared to a hypothetical scenario where developers care to build iPad apps? No. I don't think the availability of iPhone apps on iPad is what derailed development of iPad apps either, pra

Well they removed the virtualization framework and prohibit apps from using JIT, so you can't just have a "macOS" app (or Ubuntu, Windows etc). They ban apps from downloading and executing code except for educational purposes

It's starting to realize now though, USB-C providing power and display, emulation allowing for x86 software. We're not far away from a Steam/Proton type scenario where you just run whatever you want on your phone's desk

> You would get software actually designed to fully exploit the capabilities of the device. Or you would just have a void where that hypothetical software could be, and this is what actually happened to the iPad (and AVP).

He micro-managed minimizing the cost of developers using third party payments in apps, so his nonchalance to ROI is likely overstated - or changed significantly since 2014.

The TV shows and stuff were never in competition for their money, they spent over $700 billion on stock buybacks in the last decade that's where it went, and they certainly could have spent a miniscule portion of that to ignite the iPa

The article claims Apple said the OS doesn't control that feature lmao... > But Apple rejected the request from the developer and said JIT for non-browser apps was not a feature controlled by iOS.
