I have to disagree here. There's an aphorism that I like to use every time someone tells me that Windows is the easy choice: Windows makes accomplishing easy tasks easy, and hard tasks impossible. To this day and for the past 20 years,

They may not be, but I can almost guarantee that Microsoft will get rid of them sooner than later.

It isn't. There's no such thing in macOS. Local and iCloud accounts are not necessarily linked, never been.

The main difference, in my opinion, is that to set up Linux one doesn't need to work around the expected behaviours of the OS. And why would anyone put so much effort into making Windows usable now , when there is not knowing what Mic

What are you even talking about? The only Apple exclusive connector in recent memory was Lightning, and it’s been phased out. Did you get rid of all your micro USB cables and devices once the transition to USB-C began for Android?

The whole claim that Qualcomm is on par with Apple predicates upon results from benchmarking tools, which stress CPU and GPU and thus induce peak power consumption. If we were to look at more thorough reviews, e.g. Geekerwan, they always in

I think it’s fair to say that a SoC should perform better at higher wattages, so my comment is definitely relevant. Regardless, I don’t understand how you can say that I’m moving goalposts when I mention performance per watt, which is absol

That’s false. Google most profitable business line is ads. They profit from literally knowing everything about you, then selling access to that to ad bidders. Apple makes the most money from devices. It is not the same.

by manuelabeledo 9mo ago
That’s demonstrably untrue. You could say that there are Apple devices that do not work well or don’t work at all without another Apple device, and off the top of my head I would say the only ones are the Watch and the HomePod, but most alt

> Try to set up a hotspot, there is no button to turn the hotspot on/off. I’m confused, which button? Do Android phones come with a physical button to enable hotspot?

by manuelabeledo 9mo ago
I’m not sure what you are trying to say here. Even if that was true, my point was that an ad driven business like Google, would be incentivized to monetize all the aspects of my life they could have access to. If that’s not what Apple is do

RCS is not exclusive to Android, the point is moot.

Is it worse than Google?

Google core business is ads. It is not the same.

Beats A19 Pro in Geekbench, at 65% higher power consumption. How is that a win?

“Monopoly” is a legal term, not something anyone can make up on the go. Anyway, it’s quite clear to me that this lawsuit, if it was truthfully about damages to consumers, should have been directed towards banks and credit card issuers.

Hasn’t happened to me, but I guess that you could always install a third party keyboard. Both Microsoft and Google have offerings in the App Store.

How are they on par SoC-wise? Last time I checked, Qualcomm was still trying to catch up to Apple.

While not as popular as Android, last time I checked iOS was at 28% market share. That’s hardly “almost nobody”.

by manuelabeledo 9mo ago
The iOS YouTube app is not worse than the one in Android. Texting in iOS is arguably better or, at the very least, there is one more app to choose (Messages). And I’m curious to know what makes Antenna Pod so much better than the thousands

But that’s not true. As I said, it was made available to third parties in 2024. Again, it’s disingenuous to claim that Apple is a monopoly, while ignoring the fact that two companies have dominated the entire card network market for decades
83.
by manuelabeledo 9mo ago
Card networks and banks are definitely oligopolies. 90% of the card market is in the hands of two companies, MasterCard and Visa, and three banks effectively own the consumer banking market, Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays. Again, it’s odd to me

I may be missing something, but from the article it seems that the lawsuit alleges that Apple a) does not allow third party NFC payments, and b) they charge banks a fee for using Apple Pay, which could result in these fees being passed to c

This assumes a perfect justice system, and that’s not the case. Regardless, the judicial branch is a perfect example of the limits of freedom in practice, and the legislative does, in fact, decide who one can and cannot sue.

Don’t all of these run in the browser nowadays?

This looks like the complete opposite, though? It’s easy and provides a convenient way to integrate SSH and TouchID.

People who tip love it?! I certainly don’t. And I’m tired of having to think of someone’s wages every time I go out for dinner. Some people, I would call them “old fashioned”, who do love it, because it gives them some sort of reassurance
