There are tons of rechargeable standardized batteries I have cr2032 coin batteries, the 18650 (iirc). Regarding adapters, I have been replacing them with USB-C-to-barrel connectors and even got three devices off a single GAN charger. I hav

Apple have locations all over the world they can test from and a proxy-like service they sell to users called “Private Relay”. They have all the necessary tools to easily combat this, except the staff to do so.

My guess is they don't want peripherals and they don't want complex software. Not having these things means their hardware is powerful and impressive at running 14th-gen cooking timers and the like with no loftier goals to aim fo

What an interesting question. I am also not a lawyer. Copyright has to be quite specifically linked to your work otherwise it's much more like a patent: you can't build X because I did. With copyright you can't build X bu

It's almost like Apple never checks apps again, the judge in the Epic case had this to say: > At other points, she says Apple “does a poor job of mediating disputes between a developer and its customer,” and it’s been “slow either t

The judge in the Epic case said they had a 70% profit margin on their App Store fees, ignoring that multiple other groups of people are also funding the iPhone ecosystem and by the time these fees are being collected from users several hund

One time Google accidentally forgot to refund $70 million they thought they had refunded for ad fraud, and they only found out when they were sued for a $500k piece of it someone definitely knew they had not received. This was back when th

It's funny because bad developers are still doing this. I just spent 2 years trying to steer the startup I was at to a different fate, this story is like their best case scenario someone buys it for the strength of their tech that was

I would totally accept there is a legitimate market for watches in the tens of thousands - millions of dollars, and people who can acquire that legitimately. But I have also seen many luxury watches in particular be a vector for identifying

I think that's an interesting insight. Another model like this is game development, most games are built with an explicit intention to not maintain that code forever, to stop development as soon as possible.

Start with what you can definitely use, the 5 and 3 reviews, and assume that's all you are ever going to be able to get out of these companies. Augment them with data from somewhere else, rethink your design to make it work.
