Beeper Cloud is a MITM that relays through a Mac. Beeper Mini spoofs a real Mac's identity but connects directly to Apple. At first they were just using their own Macs for this, but then Apple blocked them, so now they're asking i

> I assume the iPhone 16 in fall 2024 will support Wi-Fi 7. I wouldn't bet on it; Apple tends to lag behind on WiFi standards. The first phone to support WiFi 6E was this year's iPhone 15 Pro (the non-Pro 15 still doesn't)

Because they'd still prefer you purchase it, or maybe a later version. In Windows 10, if you don't activate, all that happens is that it displays "Unregistered" in the corner and refuses to let you change the desktop w

Fujifilm is a twenty billion dollar company. Imaging is just a hobby for them. Though I agree that if it were truly hemorrhaging them money, they'd have sold it (like Minolta or Pentax) or spun it out into its own entity (like Olympu

The stuff with licenses Apple likes is relatively up to date; it's definitely not bleeding edge, but no worse than you'd get from Debian or RHEL. The criticism macOS gets for shipping ancient software is because one of the license

Flash existed for Android. Ignoring the fact that it was slow, buggy, and power-hungry—the same arguments against it everywhere else —why didn't it thrive? Why couldn't it compete with the Google Play store, if it would have been
