I suspect this has something to do with the inferior intel modem that was used during the Qualcomm debacle. One of the main advantages of the next iPhone will be returning to a Qualcomm modem that isn't rubbish.

I wish someone would publish a guide for MacBooks based on palm rest idle temperature, having a hot sweaty palmrest (especially in warmer climates) bugs me more than having a bit of fan noise and if it was clear and transparent maybe Apple

Short answer: He didn't. You cannot do it without your app being in the App Store.

I also went down that rabbithole and I'm also convinced, but I'm not aware of any Thorium reactors currently in operation. Not being a proven technology would certainly be a business risk to consider though Thorium would be an eas

Industry standard compared to what? Certainly not credit card processing, which typically runs 3% to 5%. If you're referring to Google Play, well they just copied Apple. And at least on Android you can side-load.

Or they could, you know, fix their review system.

Cue the "But I like Apple running the app store with an iron fist! No malware and viruses!" comments. Unless the government forces Apple in the future to permit sideloading, this is never going to change.

Exactly. How is this not a tech version of the scam taxi drivers you encounter when traveling overseas who refuse to use the meter and try to charge you a fixed fee thats 5-10x more than a local would pay. Charging different customers diffe

In my case i've got a flagship panel, the Samsung Q90R (which cost me about $2500) which has a quad core Qualcomm chip with almost instant responsiveness. My Apple TV now sits in a drawer. From the reviews i've seen all the flagsh

Although I agree with you on points 1-3, point 4 is no longer the case as of this last year or two. Most people are only interested in the main apps such as YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ etc. My 2019 Samsung TV OS is not only fast and smooth bu

I really sometimes wonder if it would be a net negative or net benefit to humanity if we could just shut down Twitter. I don't use it but I can't remember the last time I heard something positive happening on there. From my standp

I suspect she was in cahoots with her Father and has probably spent a small fortune on plastic surgery making herself completely unrecognisable and changed identities. Would be no problem for someone with a cool $2.5bn laying around

Having 4 USB-C's is a bit like having 4 Ferraris. Sometimes you need something a bit more practical. People will still be using USB-A for the next 10 years. Having to use a dongle for USB-A on a 16" macbook is pretty ridiculous. T

You just described how I bought my last 3 iPhones so I don't really understand your point. If you use a US address its fine.

They don't need to - the customers that paid market rate for the room are already doing it. They just need decent customer support and consistent policies to prevent scams from both sides. Yes, this isn't only happening to guests,

Agreed it was worded poorly.. I didn't mean that as an analogy of "loophole" but the kind of unscrupulous stuff happening in the food industry

by pentae 7y ago
Or maybe lawmakers are just tired of seeing loopholes abused by unscrupulous people. It's like banning shark fin, it just gets taken off the menu but can be ordered in mandarin.

Playboy: That’s what critics charge you with: hooking the enthusiasts with premium prices, then turning around and lowering your prices to catch the rest of the market. Seems like old tricks are the best tricks, eh?
