Do you have a source of these estimates for me to learn? A lot of people kept saying it is very expensive but they did not factor in that UBI replaces all current social welfare programs we have with a single program. When you compare both,

Going by this video alone, there weren't any indications (in my opinion) that they're only focusing on the cure. It did mention that the government is trying to understand the condition (which requires figuring out the causes) but

Yep, you are talking about experience; robots only need to learn once and it spreads to everyone instantly. That can’t be said about humans, everyone has to learn it at their own pace. Humans aren’t that good at driving either and most huma

Only AMD graphic cards work fine natively since HS. The problem was that people wanted Nvidia support, they had web drivers from Nvidia for HS but there is no Mojave version yet IIRC. Apple has only been supporting AMD graphic cards nativel

ISP is also used for the video, as in the front camera used for video meetings. FaceID is not solely dependent on ML, it's also managed by the secure enclave co-processor which is also used for Touch ID which is available on Macs now.

Interesting, I haven't heard of any other apps having this issue. Did Exist offer a way to sign up new accounts in their app? If yes, that may be it. Slack doesn't have IAPs and yet, I can sign in with paid accounts just fine. The

Or you can just distribute the apps without using the platform's payment processor. No one says you have to use Apple's payment processor. Direct users to sign up on your website and then have them download the apps free of charge

All of their hardware are mature, what’s next need to be the software. iOS is way too limited for what the hardware can do. macOS is way too slow compared to what Windows feels like on the same Mac hardware. They need to focus on the softwa

Because on two separate occasions, APFS ate all of my free space resulting into me reinstalling macOS as the system was locking up. (Yes, I filed a radar, and yes they fixed it, only to regress 6-8 months later).

I have a Samsung 970 Pro, which is NVMe m.2 SSD. It still took an hour to install the feature update like 1809. I believe someone mentions that feature updates like 1809/1803/etc are not actual patches based on current install, it

It's not writing the native code that's the problem, it's designing the same GUI experience across platforms that's nearly impossible to do. If it was so easy as you said, a lot of macOS apps would've been portable

I don't think banning the monopolists from buying other companies will work nor is it fair. It shouldn't be a thing at all, it should be considered as unfair punishment for natural monopolists. Not to mention, most startups will f

What's funny and sad is that Vulkan may be the one in the long run that helps make macOS (and Linux) relevant longer for games. Imagine if Apple did support Vulkan natively, all Windows games via Steam Play Beta can be run on macOS eas
