Exactly, 1% is half or possibly all of their margin. They would have been crazy NOT to go.

You just described why Apple has dragged their feet as slowly as possible developing Safari. "Add to Home Screen" is now completely hidden away and unlike on Android, progressive web app functionality is delayed as long as they po

Yeah we literally turned our $7k a month AWS bill into $1k a month by changing to 3 dedicated servers (Fully managed!) and cloudflare. It's better in every conceivable way.

We could solve it overnight if every government agreed to tax single use plastic production and sale then use the funds to pay for recycling. Organizations like The Plastic Bank pay people in communities of high polluting regions to recycle

I think lately western governments (other than the obvious example) have figured out that it's a much better short term play to simply allow immigration to boost the economy rather than longer-than-their-term ideas like education.

All that complaining (hey I agree with all points) but he still doesn't really explain why Apple killed the Macbook Pro other than "iPhone" and doesn't even mention sales figures or anything else at all. "iPhone&quo

And this is why I stopped using Adobe. Unfortunately, they've made so much more money milking their users than the customers they've lost so cloud stays.

I think you're overlooking the fact that understanding your audience and the issues of our times is a big part of good comedy.

You make good points but its not ‘all or nothing’. Small, efficient modes of transport like bicycles, ebikes and scooters attached to sharing apps is a correct step forward in urban mobility. If we zoned cities pedestrians first with smart

I believe our governments should designate a new class of Urban car, similar to the Japanese "Kei cars". The "Urban EV" would have to meet strict requirements: Electric Vehicles only, within a small size of footprint (sm

The userbase should be up and arms about it. But they aren't, because most iOS users have never even known an experience on their phone of being able to sideload their own apps. Instead you always get some hand waving about how "A

I don’t see how any of these chat apps you described is any different to IRC which I frequented as a kid. It had wll the horrors you describe but navigating that jungle made it exciting and fine tuned my radar against scammers and dodgy peo

An iPhone 6 has a dxomark score of 73, last years iPhone XS Max was 106.. the 11 pro will see an even higher score than last years model so comparing the current lineup to an iPhone 6 isn't a fair comparison anymore imho

And as a result of that the US is now the worlds largest offshore banking center for the rest of the world. It's a pretty safe place to hold your money, after all.

Seems just like lawyers doing lawyer things. People always read headlines like this and imagine Zuck sitting around a conference table with a bunch of his underlings cackling about their next big evil plot, but I bet he doesn't even kn

We have no proof that they are not already doing that especially with smaller countries which they are influencing heavily with debt diplomacy for infrastructure projects.

The same way that the ideologues on the left and right are so insecure about their politics. It's an attack on your ideology.

Yeah that's not how it works at all thanks to globalisation. About 10 other countries will step in to provide all the cheap widgets in Chinas place about 3 seconds after they 'cut us off'

It's put a big stain on them in the last few years thats for sure. That being said, at least the keyboard replacement program is basically a free extended warranty on the keyboard if they didn't have that I think the situation wou

I have another, more simple theory: Money. They want the aftermarket service business to themselves for that reason first, and control over the quality of repairs secondary.

Telegram is still a step up from what most people use (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp). And if you really want a chat to be secure it's easy to set one up. I find it to be a perfect blend of security and usability. Saying it's only

The fact that so many millennials are attempting to make a career out of being an 'influencer' or 'digital nomad travel photographer' certainly doesn't help.

The irony that Apple really hate paying that royalty but expect App developers to do the exact same. Here's a fun anecdotal story. Me and my partner both have iPhone 7+ devices and the same carrier. I get 2 bars of 4G signal and she ge

I deleted my LinkedIn profile a few years back and haven't looked back. It's cathartic. I honestly don't see the reason to have it unless you're actively looking for a new role. Speaking of obnoxious - they don't le
