I'm the OP and I just compared what Apple gets from the App Store (around $21.7m estimated in 2020 which I saw in Barron's, but it's probably an overestimation since I don't think it takes into account the 15% rate below

I don't see the point. Spotify's not willing to give up 10% of their Android revenue, they'll still use their own payment. Epic won't give up 15%. South Korea mandated that apps be allowed to have custom payment methods

Interesting, I just went back on the XPS website and the base, 1080p XPS 13 with 11th gen Intel is 1000€ for 512GB. I remember it being much more when I checked this morning. That does seem like a great price. I think I found the issue: whe

Even if you don't look at refurbished, here in France, a MacBook Air is 1029€ brand new. A comparable ThinkPad X1 Carbon is 2499€ minimum (that's the base model, with 256GB/8GB, but with a high-res screen). A comparable Del

macOS has always been worse at animation performance, even after the Metal switch. My M1 is buttery smooth, but you always had dropped frames even on pretty recent Mac hardware. Your other issues seem like factory defects, I've never h

I don't think it's dishonest. It's easy to find areas where Chrome is ahead, and I haven't found one area (in security) where Firefox is ahead. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht

I can see that being an issue if the web is centralising around one proprietary engine, but why does that apply to Blink? If Google turns completely evil that won't take away from all the webcompat, optimisations, and security in Blink

I'm glad they switched to Blink, and I hope TorBrowser switches too. Blink is more secure and modern than Gecko. Brave still wouldn't have site isolation, an important security feature, if they stuck with Gecko. Whether due to bad

Not when using a commercial cloud service, no.

The problem with this argument is that the "adversarial environment" argument applies to a worse degree to all cloud storage services who do the scanning in the cloud, since they have no threshold mechanism, and lack transparenc

This is not a case of "not doing basic reading". It's not a settled debate. The anti-CSAM scanning side has advanced a lot of spurious arguments and quite a lot of misinformation, some of which was spread by NGOs and orgs lik

I couldn't load Civ6 until I verified game files in Steam, and now it works pretty perfectly. I'm on 8GB and always have Chrome, Apple Music and OmniFocus running alongside.

I don't know if I'm allowed to swear on here, but thank fuck for this. It literally doesn't impose on Apple to do this stuff; they can keep their 28% margin, keep things soldered if they want, but making functional laptops

The funny thing is I checked the webpage to make sure I got it right, but still copied it wrong. Ha! Thanks for the correction They did announce a very high contrast ratio so hopefully it won't be too bad.

It looks like a PowerBook to me, and yeah, it looks a little dated, and the curves look strange. But Apple being willing to release a laptop that "looks strange" is to me a signal that they want to value function over form on Pro

The Apple Event showed that full-screen apps and videos have a black bar extending the whole notch height; which still leaves you with an Apple standard 16:10 screen area. Since it's mini-LED, it'll be just as black as the previou

Interesting, that makes me trust this quite a bit more. Regardless, this is bound to really contribute to our understanding of the brain, so I'm grateful for this research.

Yeah, the interests are probably: 1) Attracting pro creators to MacBooks requires having top-tier Blender support and performance on Mac, so Apple's interest is in making it run as well as possible 2) some future AR/VR tie-in This

That's actually part of the "full" Bredesen protocol, I read it in his book, and you're right it is a big part of slowing and reversing the Alzheimer's decline.

Well, all I did was search "GERD" in the comments; I found out that GERD's linked with inflammation, and went down the rabbit hole about Wim Hof, keto/carnivore, probiotics, etc. Helped a lot, though I still sleep around

Well, I love Wim Hof breathing (and it helped me when I had Covid, and helps with HRV and energy levels), and now take Vitamin D, glycine, Zinc, and other stuff that seemed to help me a lot. On top of that, if you've ever dealt with an

I think as reddit continued to decline, more people here became interested in debating politics, societal stuff since there was no other "serious" place for it. I wish some of that stuff wasn't here, since it takes away from
