Your dad doesn't actively support Putin or Russia. Nor does he think that Putin is the savior of the West.

I agree that it is the users right to install a browser of their choice, use a payment method of their choice. The recent EU law, which was passed in a democratic system, supports this right. You're free to make up your own mind. BTW,

Let me correct some of your misunderstandings. The comment you were replying to, correctly, pointed out that there is no benefit to the user to side with Apple's anti-user stance. This story, and comments about the story are having to

The 10.4 wallpaper brings back some nostalgia for me. It was the first time I could afford to buy a new laptop and I splurged on the 06 core duo macbook pro.

Apple is fearmongering that if the user installs a browser of their choice, the phone would get rooted in seconds and the user would have their data stolen. Yeah, how about they fix that ?

It is definitely odd to outsource your moral principles based on which mega corp you opened your wallet to.

I hope you realize the irony that this just your personal view on what is reasonable and what is or isn't a merit. I don't see the point in bullying someone who is simply expressing an opinion - which happens to be anti-Apple - an

One missing virtue is never impart programming advice or wisdom on the internet - Because 10 other programmers who know nothing about you or your job will tell you in detail all the ways in which you're doing it wrong.

Are they still asking that ridiculous question?

I believe bad design can't be excused under "compromise". You've made your position clear, as such there is nothing to discuss except acknowledge that we have a disagreement.

Is there any commercial software development company with better backwards compatibility creds than Microsoft? I'm genuinely curious.

You can also passivate, powdercoat, etc. Not that you should need to do this after dropping that kinda cash on a car (refuse to call it a truck :P)

Oh you want more display? Lets add 20 notches to the bezel and stuff some pixels where we don't have any screws and fasteners. Sorry dude, I'm having a real tough time taking your pro-notch argument seriously. Lets agree to disagr

The earth will thank you for creating more e-waste. /s Not sure what is so joyous about opening your wallets for Apple. Normally people want more for their money, not less.

Competitors have already introduced it, but the quality is shit, so Apple having a higher bar for image quality isn't quite ready to introduce it. They have been hard at work though. https://www.patentlyapple.com/2023&#

If the notch is so good, maybe the fans of the notch should convince Apple and others to stop their efforts to remove it.

Pictures don't exist? Sorry, I am out of this conversation. Its patently obvious that I will fail to convince the fans of the notch here.

If you like it so much, take a piece of black tape and apply a notch to all your screens. I'll continue to criticize bad design.

It's horrible for consuming media, among many other things. I honestly don't get why you're defending something that is bad design. And yes, I could do better. Remove the notch. ta-da ! Instantly better. Users, developers,

Do you agree that there is good and bad design? Furthermore, I don't see what is wrong in criticizing bad design when the Vendor also acknowledges that it's bad and they're rushing to fix it. This isn't software where yo

I don't see a problem with criticizing the one of richest companies in the world on legitimate issues, or holding them to a very high standard. They can defend themselves just fine. I'd give a smaller company much more leeway. I o

You've already accepted the premise that Apple is "giving" a feature to the customer, so there doesn't seem to be any room for a conversation.

It's called incremental innovation "this changes everything, again" (yawn!) , so they can slow talk you into opening up your wallet yet again. You can bet your bottom dollar if Apple saw a significant threat to their money ma

I am not saying its the most pressing design feature that disqualifies a purchase. I just don't get the push-back when pointing out obvious flaws.

Good, so are you going to pay Apple twice? Once for creating the problem, and again when they develop the under-screen tech to fix it?

by pompino 3y ago
The only "fact" here is that Apple is going to milk you twice. Once when they sold you a knowingly flawed design and again, when they finally develop the tech to eliminate the notch, Apple fans will happily line up to pay them aga
