It could default to charging the device with the lowest battery level. Can't find it but I believe having read years ago Apple does something like that.

Nintendo was and is primarily a toy company. The deal is if you buy their stuff you get entertainment. You're pretending it's a general purpose computer to make a point about interoperability, but it's neither. What kind of &

It's not as expensive as it looks, Starship plus booster costs around 100 million. A Saturn V Apollo mission cost 185 million in 1969 which, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V#Cost , would now be a

Making sure the beam is off before crashing would be better though.

Even if it's illegal? (like transmitting on forbidden frequencies) It's not always the user who's installing software. Lots of people depend on other people to manage their devices. Manufacturers like the hardware they delive

My thought exactly when I saw the 8088mph demo. Made me wonder why we put up with those ugly CGA graphics in the 80s ;)

Lots of commercial Spectrum games were coded on a 'more modern' machine, often an IBM PC with a better keyboard and a cross assembler to generate Z80 code.

They don't lose anything since they sell the same instance which performs less with the mitigations on. Customers are paying because they need more instances.

Maybe, but their cloud customers certainly are.

Why would big tech do this when customers bring it upon themselves by building Javascript slop?

Yes, it's powering the 'digital instrument cluster' in my 2015 Volvo.

Current Apple pencils also support pressure and tilt sensitivity. Lots of people are using an iPad with software like ProCreate to draw, which is a lot more portable than a laptop with a Cintiq hooked up to it.

If you modify your car in such a way in the EU it won’t pass the mandatory yearly inspection which means it’s no longer road legal.

Looking at service logs at my company show a serious amount of hacking attempts by bots originating from Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Mostly harmless on an updated server not running an ancient Wordpress but attempts nonetheless. For c

It's complicated. Lots of sites want to geoblock Russia for good reasons, but it's not always clear if an IP address is Russian or Ukrainian. https://www.kentik.com/blog/the-russification-of-ukrainian-i...

That's at the cost of lots of duplicated work by the already sparse number of people capable of implementing a graphics server. There's also a third option where Wayland is foundational and the X11 network protocol is implemented

I'm more concerned about the 'good with computers' type people helping the average users. Those are the people who use google and forums and leave other peoples phone and/or computer in a less than optimal state which ma

You can see the problem by browsing old help forums and see how often people suggest 'disable SIP' as a solution to some problem instead of really fixing the problem. Also, the clueless user will -at best- just follow instructions

Not offering in-app signups doesn't seem to make Spotify less dominant. I'm in the Netherlands, almost everybody I know has a Spotify subscription, I know just one guy using Apple music. The 30% fee also drops to 15% after one yea

Would be nice if everything instantly became better with a bit of explanation, but I'm just a bit to cynical to trust that. Most people using tech need guard rails.

First they have to enable competition, you're saying they have to support it but seemingly you want to enforce it. Where does it stop? Should Apple just pay out a part of their profits to their competitors? If a competitor wants market

Because most people are not developers? Between ad-infested Google, enshittified Microsoft and still not ready for the desktop Linux the Apple ecosystem might be the most accessible and easy to use platform for most non-technical users. As

Then allowing Apple the efficiency of not implementing yet another way to build a GUI also is a customer win.

Depends, I've still got some of the end-90's Loki game ports. Those were 'real' Linux binaries but won't run on modern Linux distributions due to changes in core libraries. The big game engines (Unreal, Unity) and e

The problem is it's hard to unlearn bad technique. If you play scales wrong you can get stuck progressing and have to start over while suppressing the urge to just play like you always did.
