Inflation adjusted it would be about double since 1998 - $223 billion, this Netflix deal is for approximately 1/3rd that amount.

Oh you think Apple is treating Netflix bad? No no no. Netflix refuses to play game, because they want to keep their data to themselves. Apple would LOVE Netflix to integrate into the app.

Right, and the hearing aid has a microphone, so it presents itself as a headset with mic. This is not new, the Oticon also does this. The difference is that the Oticon supports the "Made for iPhone" hearing aid settings which mean

This is the case for any Bluetooth microphone headset, it has nothing to do with the hearing aid “trying to mimic AirPods “it is because Apple refuses to give us fine-grained controls on our Bluetooth devices

Step one: make all items cost an even five cents after tax. step two: when making price adjustments like discount, round the effect to the nearest five cents. Step three: charge everyone this amount

Installing as an app doesn’t share your main email address and they can only identify apps from a fixed list, so it’s not really useful to do that.

Any app that you log into "links" anything in your profile to your phone, so of course it links this information. I'm all for calling out bad privacy practice, like when a Weather app says it links your contact info. But an a

Because they will be back-paid when the government reopens and if they stop showing up then they will be fired. Now, you could ask: won't they be able to get a job back later, who knows.

FreeTaxUSA provides free federal tax filing and a nominal fee for state filing. DirectFile would be better but the reality is there are free options.

And SwiftUI is not part of Swift open source, it's just for Apple platforms. The underlying Swift language features could be used by other UI systems if someone wanted to make a crossplatform system, though.

Your perpetual license is still valid for the v2 suite. Nothing was swapped - the product you paid for is no longer getting updates. Just because people have been asking for features doesn't mean your perpetual license is owed those fe

Nothing changed: you can still use the apps you purchased, as they were when you purchased them? That's the whole point of one time purchases.

They already were deprecating the original Serif suite, since it was clearly in part an acquihire. You bought those licenses with terms that you preferred and those terms are being honored so it seems like everything worked well.

You can't have your cake (one time payments) and eat it too (software gets perpetual updates). Perpetual licenses with 1 year of updates is a good middle ground, but they have said that the v2 suite will get maintenance updates for som

Correct, and you're no longer paying so that's okay? It is unfortunate if the software stops existing but there is not a financial issue.

Sure, if the subscription is unreasonably priced. Then yes, it will be unreasonable. Final Cut Pro is a $300 piece of software with a $50/yr or $5/mo subscription. It would take you 6 years to reach the same price which shows the

There is no code in Canva that specifically opens Safari, it would be a `ASWebAuthenticationSession` from macOS. Safari is used by default, other browsers have to support this feature to use it and do not, so you just get Safari.

You bought a one time license and the app still works, what's the issue? You can't expect to pay $70 for perpetual software.

Isn't this EXACTLY what subscriptions fix, though? That you can stop paying if the product stops getting updates. Everyone wanted a one time license, you aren't allowed to complain when that one-time licensed product stops getting
