I am unsure your point - are you saying since the business controls are fallible, we should abandon them and have an internet's worth of potential side-loaded LastPass scam apps?

Apple isn't going to come out with a ChatGPT, at least not anytime soon.

That would be if they specifically wanted a Chatbot. What I would like from Apple is a smart assistant that is actually smart. That implies it has access to and can do reasoning about a ton of work-related as well as rather personal informa

I'd actually say it is more that "World Model" queries ("what was the cause of the American Civil War") are just something Apple doesn't see value in doing themselves. This is even more an issue when you look a

I imagine you would be able to, as long as your phone doesn't give other DMA behavior (prompting for alternative browsers, allowing alternative app marketplaces, allowing side-loading). You will need to have both a Siri language and a

The App Store review provides protections which are not a technical protections. Earlier someone talked about the failing of allowing a $50 subscription flashlight app into the store (dunno if they’d be able to find a citation). This was a

Right, OLE documents are comparable to read/write filesystems inside a file. The only mechanism given to make sure it is sparse was to create a new filesystem by having the application walk the existing one, basically a copy-based garb

Yes, that is the production behavior. If you have a link to maps.apple.com on a platform with app links (or claimed HTTPS URLs on android platforms), a native Apple Maps app can display the results. Otherwise, they haven't had a web ve

Do you have reference to this being based on an Apple change and based on analysis of satellite images?

"Support for additional languages, browsers, and platforms will be expanded over time." Sounds like it is a true beta and not a "Google" beta.

I don't know if I would say it is easy as much as I'd say it is automated. I manage configuration changes to some hardware using git, and do manual backup. However, someone else came out with a script that will automate periodic c

First step would be to have them acknowledge a documented behavior which was part of their original design 16 years ago, is something that needs to be fixed. As someone who has used git and GitHub extensively over that time, none of what th

My understanding per RFC 3986 is this is a valid URL. The authority consists of a host with a blank name and blank path (path-abempty). The issue is a lot of libraries do not make a distinction between a field explicitly being declared blan

Such a check would be possible if: 1. Apple received a copy of your source code to do source analysis 2. Apple actually supported running python code as an option for writing iOS apps and wrote source code analysis tools for python for repo

The ThreadDeath Error in particular is interesting because it is catchable but not "handle-able" - if you do not rethrow ThreadDeath in your exception handler, the JVM will do so for you. Despite Thread.stop() being deprecated, it

I'd also say there is a bit of a 'when you have a hammer…" going on. Java in particular spent a good portion of its formative years with relatively few language features, so there was a lot of cobbling them together in intere

Nothing compared to the fighting between whether the Office team or the Platform team at Microsoft owned the AI 'client' work, if we were back in the Windows 7 days. There'd be constant sabotage.
