Look I completely agree on the charges. There is no rationale for them. But fix that. The only viable defense is Apple creates an ecosystem and builds the APIs and OS. They need to get paid for the work - otherwise the argument for develope

No, there are already devices which are not wall gardened. Use those. My argument is that I have bought a specific device (and everyone else also did) instead of the other device being open. So I have already made a choice. Now you (or some

No, I value my time and my brain. It takes me X wasted minutes to talk to a support person to remove my subscription. That’s not really a good use of my brain, is it now? If you want the freedom - there are platforms out there. Use those. T

No, I defend it because I actually do not want that. I prefer the Apple experience. I control all my subscriptions from a single place, I only get stuff from the App Store and if I get tricked to buy an app that is not working I can request

But also had 13% budget deficit (of its GDP). Other countries had to bail them out of default on loans. They also said they will get the deficit under control in 2 years and a few months later said they would most likely default. They had m

1. Imports from EU are higher than pre-Brexit and higher than exports. So it's the deficit is also higher than before. 2. The EU does not have the UK as their biggest (40%+) market. Therefore the smaller player is the UK. If all trade

The EU didn't try to prevent Covid vaccinations in the UK. AstraZeneca decided to interpret contracts. The EU held them to their contract. As an EU/UK citizen living in the UK - I'm okay with that. The EU signed a contract wi

How can England be so unfriendly and not allow a Scottish Independence referendum?

by martimarkov 4y ago
But the thing is that the EU is not. Every major power in the EU is predicted to grow their economy and the UK is the only one that is not. Even if you look at it as a purely engineering problem you'd see that adding more red tape on t

I’m pretty sure first amendment does not apply to corporations and their services. The test I normally ask ppl to perform is this. If you think there is some sort of fallacy in it happy to discuss it Can I kick you out of my hours if I disa

I find it really surprising and sad that even on HN ppl are just as dumb and biased when it comes to their political views. You are NOT this or that party. Sometimes your side or your heroes or whatever you want to called them fuck up - the

We actually had a very similar issue in the office but maybe a bit different. From time to time an entire part of the office would start having slow internet or almost no internet. Took us a few months to fix (it wasn't really on the p

I mean yes they are - there are so many manufacturers. With the same argument you can say - open access to every device which will diminish a lot of the security by increasing the attack vector. Why isn't my TV open or my Xbox or my PS

I specifically buy Apple phones for this reason. I have read the T&C and have agreed that I don't get access to specific things - I don't want to ever think about it. I don't want there to be an option to unlock the bootl

Then don't use Apple - who is forcing you to build for their OSes? Your customers are there? Well maybe they have made a choice to be there for some reason. Respect that or don't go after those customers. I have made a choice to u

Honestly the only thing it lacks for me is iCloud Keychain but even on macOS. I'd love to have that support + shared history so I can use it properly on desktop and mobile. I know about FF Sync but still I do prefer the iCloud sync. Th

A text file is a website file and that is what annoyed me in that support reply. The web is not just html, css and JS. But in order to make the support eng do his job I need to add a .html extension to it?? Would that be considered a websit
