That's probably a good approach. Still, when my certificates expire (which makes the provisioning profiles invalid), that alone will take hours or days to fix. So even if it's left in a completely untouched environment certificate

Yes, that's me. Hacker News is the only place I feel I can talk about this kind of thing so it's cathartic. And no, it doesnt work on SSD's. They're black boxes. However I think data recovery on them is possible with har

Aside from all the other issues with this, you need a visa to get into China. And you need a ticket out to get in. I imagine this applies to you even if you're pretty high in Apple management.

Part of the reason I have the occasional suicidal thought is because I'm physically dying right now because nature is killing me. If you took that away I'd actually be quite a bit happier.

"Fast enough" creates a lowest common denominator which then becomes the standard to cater to. If technology companies (Apple in this case) made an effort to push technology along, then it'd raise the standard and user experi

It gives a month's free trial where it fully functions. Then it says it requires payment when it starts up after that. Though if you don't pay anything it actually continues working. So you have plenty of time to try it out.
