That is indeed one area of privacy but I wouldn’t say that Apple is far worse. There is countless number of examples where this just simply isn’t true. Also regarding the App Store, you don’t have to enter a credit card, you can make an acc

I’m from a technical background and so I understand this but being a Brit sentences like this are always funny to me

It’s funny (and annoying) the disparity between Arm builds for macOS and Windows. I understand why it happens but even Microsoft has produced Arm native versions of apps for macOS before Windows.

I signed up for BuyMeACoffee recently. I did some work for free that’s important for the industry I work in and a few people donated money to me. That was almost 2 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for them to review my account. The only supp

Good for them. I’m a huge supporter of unions. Union busting is quite different here in the UK, so I should imagine they’ll successfully join the union without too much fuss.

The problem is if you go for a free market "vote with their wallets" approach, you end up with a problem like the US did with Microsoft having too high of a market share and control on browsers, media players and operating systems

This is interesting, sure, but you would need more data to create a better identifier. I’m on an iPhone, which isn’t an uncommon device using Brave which is just WebKit because of iOS restrictions. So there would be lot of iPhones that woul

Do you happen to remember which bus company this was? Is there any article you can link me too as I’m quite interested in reading some more on it.

It’s not even true that you can’t update an Apple Watch without an iPhone. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204641

I have used Infuse for years. I just use a basic NAS with a torrent client and a watch folder. I have pretty fast broadband too, so all together it’s a really nice experience. Plus the devices I’m usually watching from are an iPad, Mac or A

They shouldn't be. I don't see them as synonymous.

This is sad but unsurprising. Microsoft did so well purchasing Xamarin and then systematically ripped it apart and didn’t bother to put any effort behind VS Mac. Then it did early this year and then just gave up.

The real worry is those that operate it will think that France is in England.

I'm a massive fan of Shazam in Control Centre. It let me have space for another app on the home screen, and they also sync with the iOS app now too.

Not saying I don't believe you but why would a Brit leave out the 'u' in labour?

Why wouldn't you leave those things on? Apple designed iOS for those things to be handled and turned on when needed. BLE is quite low in power, GPS is only on when location services need it. These are concerns I would have had about 10

I listen to the Friday Night Comedy Radio 4 podcast every Friday. There was an announcement on there that Apple Podcasts would still get them, but 30 days later than BBC Sounds. I must say, I remember when the BBC were moving to HTML5 video

"They're bad, like really bad on privacy." That's an odd thing to say about a company so well known for its privacy stance the FBI tried to shame Apple to get backdoors put in after the San Bernardino massacre and they s
