You are free to not use those services and hence opt out of payment. Of course you know that already - it’s just so that others recognise the bits you conveniently leave out!

I also just don't have the mental energy to get mad at that. You ran a marathon? Amazing! Great achievement! Well done! Have a participation trophy! Doing stuff is great. Doing stuff and sucking at it is great. Who cares?

And at the same time they keep making the system more and more closed, so that you can't even run applications without Apple's permission. This is simply not true.

This is so cliché that I have a hard time believing that this isn't just trolling… but it's kind of irrelevant how much you spend on "$20 lunches" if you are struggling to afford things like education, healthcare, and sh

Yes, I'm sure you could hack together some bullshit questions to demonstrate whatever you want. Is there a specific reason that the reasonably straightforward methodology they did use is somehow flawed?

This is just fokelore. “ARM architecture” in the sense it’s used by Apple is just an ISA. The ISA obviously has some effect on power consumption (e.g. avoiding complex CISC decode). But in reality, by far the most significant driver of CPU

But it clearly does, as NVIDIA rolls out hardware and software optimised for deployment as AI compute.

Isn't a larger issue the number of immigrants who are NOT contributing to the economy, living at taxpayers' expense, with many immigrants engaging in crime? No, this is not supported by any real evidence. They could create a po

That's not "letting in poor people" as you framed it. It's letting in dumber people, worse students. Lots of that is mainly based on classism (against people from middle class), racism (against white people). This obvi

You can just not buy this phone . If you want an iPhone with a larger capacity battery, you can buy the one that they sell with this feature .

Of course it is, because that would be an aggressively stupid thing to do. Like boycotting syntax highlighting, spellckecking, VCS integration or a dozen other features that are th whole pint of IDEs. If you don’t want to use LLM coding ass

…while being hundreds of times bigger and also not offering the scope to implement hardware hacks (e.g. interfacing through GPIO/I2C/SPI/Serial without additions that cost more than the entire Pi). Yes - obviously you can use

This is entirely not true, and the government is entirely free to withdraw this stupid, harmful legislation. Do not make excuses, because this is how the Labour Party get away with this sort of stupid action.

No, this isn't baiting – it's an actual thing that's happening, regardless of how much you want to remain in denial about it. And I don't care about whatever weird preconceptions you've imposed – European countries

I'm sure you realise this, but you are of course massively and deliberately oversimplifying to the point of being misleading. Like… it's okay to complain about bad legislation without misrepresenting it. It's bad enough that

There are very significant concerns about the actions of the Westminster government recently no doubt – this is stupid legislation, and it compounds with other stupid legislation (see the recent arrests for supporting proscribed groups).

Actually I think it's pretty similar to your example. The "intended semantics" of the search action in that sort of field are to search for the text you enter – not to search for the the side-effects of in-progress partial

I think the only way that will ever come about is an implementation by an existing incumbent. Like, let's say Apple added some kind of web microtransaction support – essentially every user already has payment details registered with Ap

Given that it is currently now, that is all that matters.

Obviously this is not the case, and you're deliberately choosing to misunderstand the point.

Right but that's massively inefficient. You want a base-load power source operating at as close to it's rated output as possible for as much time as possible.
