You mean a feature which records all user activity into a global, well-structured, explicitly searchable structure might be a ripe target? Obviously unforeseeable and not at all a feature implemented rashly in a clever but fragile manner.

HTML/CSS/JS is less capable than native development. It limits, not expands, what desktop application designs can do.

The damning thing isn't the loss, it's the revenue. $770,500 in revenue. $300M in losses. And there are people buying this stock.

If I reviewed this decision, based on everything presented, I'd probably deny the appeal too.

The curse of Apple Silicon. Everything's basically "fast enough" already.

My wife uses hers (a Pro hand-me-down from me) for basically everything except her job, where she's forced to use a PC. Meanwhile, mine is basically a Plex machine.

The reason is because battery life is more important to the vast majority of consumers.

You're essentially discounting all major civil right movements as selfish, since all included an attempt to change the behavior of large institutions and companies to accommodate what began as a minority opinion.

NPR programming has been non-partisan left-of-center with a bias towards humanity over raw factual presentation for as long as I can remember. It's essentially the NPR "house-style".

Please stop picking stupid fights, Apple. You keep losing them.

You find it amusing that Apple vets their developers by … vetting their developers?
557.
by etchalon 3y ago
Hard disagree on basically everyone you said beyond this move not being too surprising. Apple holds grudges. Always has. But this is just asking for trouble without any real benefit. Maybe they want the fight, I guess. But it's a dumb

Apple is just acting increasingly stupid. There's no word for it.

HT202303 refers to storing the keys for the Messages in iCloud feature.

by etchalon 3y ago
I believe the reason iMessages aren't protected with iCloud Backup is because they're stored decrypted in the SQLite database iMessage uses, chat.db.

As far as I know, iMessage keys are not escrowed to any middle service. What are you basing that belief on?

Yes, people blame Apple for it when it happens on a macOS. Have you ever worked an IT support desk?

This I generally agree with. Native apps will always gain capabilities before PWAs, and some capabilities will never be granted to PWAs for incredibly sane reasons. However, for many apps, Push Notifications was the only real reason they co

That's not really the issue the OP is arguing though. He's saying "PWAs have had 10 years to be good and dominant and they're not yet and that's on them." I'm saying "Well, but, Apple." Whether a

They would absolutely be blamed by users for it.

by etchalon 3y ago
I think Apple's failure to provide sufficient capabilities for PWAs is a valid excuse here. If PWAs are limited competitively on the platform with the highest ROI for developers … that's a problem.

I think the problem is that, even if you could convert them, it's a massive investment to do so. And money is real expensive these days. So first the buildings have to lose so much value that the math works.

The real test of which is the "better product" will be how many of the Vision Pro ideas Meta copies, and how quickly.
