When an app that simply describes how a product is made is "objectionable and crude" it says a lot about the product.

I just did a search and found multiple apps with that name already.

Established brands thrive on this as well. Frequently releasing unusual but ultimately not very good flavour variations because many people will buy it just to find out what vegemite flavoured chocolate tastes like.

I don't think you even have to register anything if you use a preapproved module so all of the iot stuff would not show up and only the module that implements 4g will.

I'm guessing flash sites were also horrible on a small touch screen. The simple act of having to rewrite most of the web without flash in a time where smartphones existed probably did a lot of good.

There are github repos that show how to crack spotifies DRM as well. I don't think it really matters or that any one cares. People pay for spotify because its super convenient in a way that pirated music isn't.

The real problem I see is when IoT crap starts getting 4/5g modems with their own network plans so they can spy on you even while not connected to wifi

>Google maps was removed from the Apple store They actually removed it entirely? You couldn't install google maps in any way?

Its a pretty hard problem. Businesses typically only list their opening hours on the door and then those are prone to change without notice. Planned to go somewhere for lunch and needed to check in to a train station in an hour, turns out t

What issues do you have with Apple maps? I started using it a few months ago and haven't even bothered to install google maps. The only things I have seen lacking is traffic data which I don't really care about and street view whi

I'm not saying its helping the individuals, but if you look purely at the problem of overpopulation, its helping.

What kind of changes do you expect more of? It seems to me like renewable energy is progressing at a very rapid pace so home solar is cheaper and better every year.

We have a bunch of things like this. Torrents and data on the blockchain can't really be removed. The problem with a lot of uncensorable publishing is the average person does not want to be storing and distributing someone elses illega

I think its more that the core concepts of a desktop UI were correct 20 years ago and other than minor refinements, there is no reason to change it up just for the sake of change. If you look at apples other products (iPhone, iPad, Apple Wa

We already have the solutions and know they work. Solar and wind are incredibly well developed and successful. We just need to remove the politics and corruption holding them back.

Tbh I think the age of printers is just about over. I haven't had a printer for years and get by just fine. For the rare occasion I want to print something, I just print it at the library or work or a commercial printing store.

When you think about how complex it would be, it makes very little sense to bother putting so much work and money in to such a little savings which also means you can no longer move your stuff around or easily replace your fridge with a dif

Surprisingly capitalism seems to be helping here. A lot of people feel they are unable to afford to own a house and have kids at the same time.

Don't have the remarkable, but consider an ipad. They are roughly the same price but the ipad is far far more capable (at the cost of no epaper)

I have had a Phillips one for ages and it does work pretty well. Its essentially an oven in terms of cooking (I think) but because its so small it heats up way faster so if you want to cook a single hash brown its the tool for the job. The

I'm not really sure how this relates to the parent comment. On that original point, it seems crystal clear that a large chunk of the population is easily impressionable and can get quickly swept up in to batshit insane conspiracy theor

We don't have to trade convenience. We have to trade houses for apartments. Cars are largely what make having a house in the middle of nowhere largely possible.

There is nothing wrong with GTK3. Clearly we have been using it for a long time just fine. I mention it because gtk3 came out in 2011. Which means it took the xfce team 9 years to perform a migration which still isn't complete yet. Now

Gnome with wayland supports it but every time you start an xwayland app you notice issues. Native wayland/gtk3 apps have been flawless for me. Things just snap to the new scale when you drag them across.

Apples security model seems to mostly be based on fixing issues fast and pushing them out to almost all users. That means the only people at risk are those worth burning a brand new exploit on. The average consumer is pretty safe.
