The site is not clear, but if it's server-side, it's a non-starter for pretty much everyone. Do you know where it runs?

Notes isn't as good as Evernote, not even close. However, it's "good enough" for most people, and free. One of the greatest bag fumbles in SV history imo.

It's probably for "managed firefox", which is when your IT department sets firefox as the default browser. It lets them, for example, disable adblock on the internal company portal

That's not really at all how implementing Apple Pay works, and would not affect your non Apple customers. Also, even Apple users can opt to not use Apple Pay if it's offered on a site.

Honestly, Apple has really knocked it out of the park. Stripe is okay and works well with autofill, but it's still extra friction. Yeah, apple might be doing something a little anti-competitive here.

For what it's worth, you should add openid/google/apple/etc auth. Registration friction is going to be one of the hardest things you face, especially on mobile, which is where a lot of people are these days.

For what it's worth, AMD is also incredibly proprietary. The drivers being open source really helps with compatibility and your kernel, but you're still interacting with a massive computer running it's own OS with its own tru

I really hope you're not relying on that, because it's not every original variant ;) although probably most of them are.

Easier said than done. Well, it means they have to keep track of every build, and keep every version of every OS live, and that's not something they really do. Especially in cases of security fixes, they'll take down an old versio

While the NYT is guilty of taking US Govt statements at face value, they are not nearly the same thing, and to suggest otherwise is intensely foolish.

I'm pretty sure "tiktok is specifically trying to make people sad" and "tiktok does not really care if they hurt people as long as they increase engagement" are two separate concepts.

No no no. You're confused. I didn't absolve the creator of guilt, I just said that it's unlikely they're intentionally trying to make her sad. They're just trying to increase engagement - at any cost.

It's not intentional in the sense that they're trying to do that to her, but their algorithm likely determined that showing a video in that cohort leads to increased use of their app.

We've been getting WISP rollouts and it's causing comcast to offer some seriously good deals. I still prefer my indie ISP. $40/mo 100/100 guaranteed, up to gigabit symmetric.

> Can it be abused? probably, but that is pretty much true of any technology or business process. This is such an incredibly misleading statement. This is why we need legislation restricting the (ab)use of these technologies.

iPhones receive 5 years of support from when the device was _last sold by Apple_. Functionally, that means that buying a new iPhone when it's released will mean that it receives 7 years of OS updates, including security fixes to the ba
