I’m not talking about your father but I really doubt that the millions of people running 6+yo phones would care a lot about this. They could still send SMS, it’s not like they would became suddenly unreachable. Apple could even be generous

Honestly they could just choose to disable iMessages on older devices. For the vast majority of people using those old devices, it would just change the bubble color and Apple wouldn’t fear any backlash. I’m not saying they should, but know

Yeah, I read most of my books on an e-reader. I’ve tried to pay for my ebooks but I’ve rapidly stopped. It’s such an horror shitshow. They managed to recreate the same DRM nonsense which didn’t worked for the movie and music industry. The f

I also use a custom domain. I’m on FastMail with DKIM and SPF configured and I really don’t feel like I have issues.

Thank you email is still somehow decentralized. I’m really frightened that sooner or later, one of the GAFAM tries to replace it with its own « open » solution.

Ironically, iMessage is not that common in Europe. WhatsApp and Facebook messenger won the game here (but they are also targeted by EU). Anyway, I hope for Apple that they have numbers proving that this bullshit strategy really makes them s

It’s not like Twitter wasn’t a shitshow several years before Musk. Sure he made it way worse but it was already a global dumpster fire.

Still, it’s probably the most generic letter that you can use alone in a lot of domains. If you had the opportunity to buy any unique letter domain name of your choice but you may choose only one, most people on this planet would chose X be

Also, it’s pretty false. Apple already did it with the iPhone 5C and the plasticky aspect was about the only positive thing in the reviews of this phone. Apple largely have the competence and the marketing power to make everyone believe tha

I have memories of a time where Apple was praised for their polycarbonate quality. You know, those expensive devices they called MacBook and iPod. They even released the iPhone 5C which, ironically, only made consensus on its good design. R

The thing is you can configure the 5 press to : - emit a loud alarm - call the emergency number - send messages to your emergency contacts And yes it also locks the phone. But that’s not something I would like to use just to get photographe

OP’s story is from 2014-2015. I’m not German but French, however I do feel that this "Silicon Valley dream" upon developers was still existing in this era. It was at that time that we started to have startups in Europe who tried t

Other than coding assistant, ChatGPT is awesome at answering to everyday questions where you previously had to find the answer in ad-bloated content farms. Things like "how to do this", "how does this work", questions ab

Sure. But this precise story is unfortunately pretty common in any big company (worldwide). As soon as the company starts to treat its workforce like a blob of anonymous replaceable "ressources" that you can scale up or down accor

It will come. In fact, GPT is really good at correcting its code given the compiler output. We just need to automate that. I think that this is not done yet because LLMs costs are O(n+1) so you really don’t want it to be stuck in some loop.

Well, by that reasoning, US are a successful country. But when you are not the shareholder but the user / citizen, you have the right to decide what "successful" means to you.

It depends on the station. Some stopped to sell tickets and just sell refillable cards. But you can use cards, ticket, or phone in any station. The only thing you can’t use, which, in 2023 is pretty stupid, are payments cards (so neither Ap

It’s the style of European comics (bandes dessinées). To be even more precise, it’s a French-Belgium style. Those two countries have an awesome culture and history of "bandes dessinées" which is hardly comparable to manga or US co
