Unless I am mistaken, there is nothing here that says a developer has to continue to also have their app on the App Store and allow purchasing through the App Store in addition to their own billing. Meaning, no I actually won't be able

It really bothers me that so much of this is focused on the developers, and that is the problem here. How many users actually want this? I am sure some, but I doubt it is a significant number. I have said this before here, but I am not look

Yes they have a cancelation fee and that part sucks, I am not disputing that. But part of looking at this should be looking at your current printing habbits, if I already go to staples on a monthly basis and print 20ish pages. This is cheap

by nerdjon 3y ago
You can still buy their printers though. I am comparing this to going out and getting prints from staples. because thats what this is, this is a subscription service meant to target infrequent (but consistent) printing that people may just

by nerdjon 3y ago
Don't get me wrong, they are likely doing the same thing that many other subscriptions do. Hoping you sign up and you forget that you have it and they just bring in the money. But if you know you are going to use it (like maybe you alr

That... isnt really a correction? You get 20 pages credit, which btw carries over to 3 times your monthly plan. So if you know your going to be printing somewhat consistently (which I said in my original comment) and you will use the pages

by nerdjon 3y ago
I know that people really want to bash this, but there are people out there that this would be a benefit to them. Those that do infrequent printing. And frankly, the math isnt bad. Looking at their cheapest plan which is $7 a month for 20 p

So I somehow completely missed that this was ever a thing. But let me get this straight. Sam is the CEO of OpenAI. Basically the company that is making it harder and harder to know what was made by a human or a machine. Out of concern over

So I will do my best to explain it, one of the hard problems here is this is just kinda second nature for me. So I may not do a good enough job of explaining it. But ok so for me, I basically am always resting my thumb (I am right handed if

My question (and maybe it is answered there but I don't want to read a full legal document to find it). What exactly do they consider "costs"? Is it just the cost they pay an IP for data out or can it include maintenance, har

You know I never really thought about where that habit came from. It’s been so long that it’s just second nature at this point, I dont think about it anymore than I think about typing or using a game controller. That presents an interesting

Since you mention the touchpad being too small, are you trying to drag and drop with one finger or multiple? What I always just do is click with my thumb and move around with my other fingers. As long as my thumb stays down it stays selecte

I thought 3D Touch was cut because no one seemed to know the functionality existed, it had a discoverability issue. It was kinda tacked onto iOS unlike WatchOS where it was part of how the entire OS was designed. Which I always found unfort

It is an interesting thing to think about, I have friends that use Windows that are shocked that I willingly chose to get an external trackpad when I use my Mac as desktop. Even more interesting is when I see my partner try to do something

It is interesting the choices they made, I just grabbed my partners Magic Keyboard to compare to my 16" MacBook Pro. Most of the space difference seems to come to the smaller space bar. Tab, caps, and shift on left and delete, return,

> AMD only managed to negotiate that because Intel lost in arbitration [1]. Intel's preferred option was always to eliminate AMD entirely. It's good for us consumers that they didn't succeed in that! OK? regardless of why

I feel like the difference here should be fairly obvious. One is an open protocol, and one is proprietary technology. AWS even at one point supported the protocol. I don't know if it's still a thing but it wasn't terribly unc

by nerdjon 3y ago
ok yeah that is valid. I just have a very hard time believing that, like you said, the majority of the use case is anything other than piracy. I mean almost every emulation software somewhere says that you should only emulate games you own,

by nerdjon 3y ago
I am all for there being emulators for past consoles as a form of preservation as the hardware gets harder and harder to get. Has Nintendo ever gone after Dolphin except for the Steam thing? But, emulating a current console is not about pre

I fixed my issue as well with a dock from UGreen and the DisplayLink software. Just unfortunate I had to do it.

It sucks since the M series laptops have been amazing, with this one glaring problem. I have a great M2 pro machine, but officially it can only support 2 external monitors. I should be able to close my screen and power 3. I can do this with

The Magic Keyboard is similar to a MacBook setup. Not 100% but it's very close. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJQJ3LL/A/magic-keyboard-...

I have long been torn on the idea of touch screen on a Mac. I feel like by now Windows should have shown us that the different ways in controlling the OS leads to problems and just doesn't mesh well. You end up with buttons that are wa

I think you misunderstood. I’m not claiming that Meta won’t be Silo’d off by making their own. But Google is not going to be the one that should be trusted to make a platform for multiple devices. Like it would be great if we had such a pla

I would love the idea that if AR/VR really takes off (which is a big if) that we don't have a bunch of silo'd versions of this tech that have major fundamental differences (far more than just Android vs iOS) due to the nature

I think going farther than that, they are going for owning the quality "nerdy" science-ish related content. See "See" as a good example to add to that list. Silo was incredible and I started working on the books because

So is it safe to say that any concern about what AI should and shouldn't do has no gone out the window at Google and they will release (or show, I know this is just a paper) anything they can at the risk of being left behind by OpenAI?
