They give money away, and they actually reduced their fees for the apps with almost no transactions, so obviously they have a fair bit of wiggle-room on what is an acceptable quantity of profit.

Downplaying how much Apple fought to prevent R2R around the world. Meanwhile Steam chose to make the Steam Deck as reparable as possible then revised it to be even easier . Both of these options exist, but Apple is one of the greediest c

I sincerely hope there is an iOS version of Steam coming, especially after they wasted a year of everybody's time preventing Steam because of their fear you might buy a game on your computer, from your phone, without paying them. http

I think it would be pretty obvious the devices were tampered with if you actually opened them , you're just looking for something inexplicable that is superficially attached to the inside of the device. I wouldn't get hung up on

It's going to be interesting to see how these compete with beautiful little handheld PCs, especially the Steam Deck which is so much better for consumers due to repair-ability, compatibility and game pricing. These are better for chil

ECC has been growing in support since ~12th generation Intel (currently 14th) and before that for AMD I think, so it is only a matter of time before this trickles down into the little NAS boxes.

We're kind of stumbling into a golden age of home NAS devices and while there aren't any ready-to-go ECC options yet, you can buy lovely little cases to support your own components. I think we'll surely see ECC in the next g

I like parameter objects a lot these days, they are more verbose to set up initially but they make function calls descriptive and the parameter order irrelevant, I think this is really good for developer usability. I dislike parameters with

Software is software, the specific nature of it at a point-in-time hardly matters in the overall scope of your career: what happened to the developers building those ANSI POS terminals running in DOS? They learnt new ways to write software

I can certainly think of a web browser that has that same conflict of interest... in fact we are actually right in the midst of a "leopards ate our face" moment with ad blocking becomes undesirable to Google in Chrome.

Two things come to mind: First, I'd make sure you are very familiar with the requirements for medical- and drug-adjacent apps in iOS. These rules are enforced haphazardly so be prepared to have to justify your app upon submission or u

They're just trying to carve out a disproportionate ROI. Internet is one of the easiest ways to do it, and when you look at what else can: movies/tv shows, games, medicine, medical devices etc, a smash-hit AAA game or movie can g

I love the supposition that a company greedy enough to break the law to prevent you knowing about someone's else's $5 cheaper price would be willing to walk away from 25% or roughly $100b of their global revenue. They have huge

I agree they should just quit but that requires experience to understand too. By the time they've learned that, they have also learned that client-side access controls are decorative.
