I feel your sentiment, but Adobe is probably not the best example to use since it is clearly sold as a subscription and the annual subscription service solves a lot of historical issues* while being nearly 27x cheaper than buying the CS mas

The real kicker was when they removed it from watchOS, where it was used extensively in the OS. So one day your “3D touch” enabled watch (as it was called) no longer supported those functions. (Yes the OS provided alternatives, but unlike t

Shifting the topic and implying i’m some sort of fanboy doesn’t address the argument. Indeed blind faith, i.e making assumptions before something is even seen, works both ways. Since i see a lot of critique that is literally based on an ad

Google was never good enough to remove the operators, and as you said it’s gotten worse not better. Seemingly people using operators would produce additional training for the algorithm which is currently not possible. This could also be a f

Why not both? Improve the UX which they do regularly and introduce ads which developers have been screaming for. With or without ads in the app store, the problem about being out marketed exists outside the app store. What this is merely

No. Anyone can link into the app store with an ad from any provider, and this still happens today. This is ads inside apple’s own app store. The same way that I can’t use anyone else to place an ad in youtube. Your argument is utterly far

Precisely, the parent post is being facetious. It’s the same as why we have basic locks on our homes even though a drill can open it in less than 30 seconds.

Microsoft wouldn’t be paying licensing fees for pirated software as their platform includes sufficient protections against piracy. Currently with activation and formerly with serial codes. It’s just a method of reducing cost - Microsoft did

In addition to this: They’ve been building ad tools because that’s what developers have been asking for as a way to surface their app. Otherwise all developers had was a situation where only Apple’s algorithms decides which app is similar t

Back when macc.as was launched it linked to a campaign to debunk/side-step some common local ideas about the food quality of mcdonalds. Back when McDonalds was still relevant there was a lot of press about the nutritional content, food

Some people seem to have a strong dislike of cats, so posing with one would lend to providing a filtering effect (i.e. Just as you describe: more rejections, but the passes are better matched.) That said I don't really buy into studyin

The problem with this approach is that these are entities which were entirely paid for by the population. Tax dollars built the company, and further taxes plus operating fees were paid by the population to keep it running. Unless the busine

Desktop computers remain less restricted because one can’t close pandora’s box after opening it. The fact that we have so many of these protection on smartphones is because of lessons learnt with desktop PCs - after a steady stream of vir

>You'll simply pick Safari, never sideload an app, and pay with Apple Pay. We can coexist. This isn't even slightly realistic. It's a mistake to believe that these changes won't have run on consequences for developers

Of course context matters: Otherwise we’d be astonished at “Bungie sues long time gamer for 7.6m”. Obviously we can investigate further, it’s not that complicated a matter. I neither believe negative publicity would have occurred, nor that

I find it hard to believe that Apple with it’s shrinking fractional share is legitimately holding back a web utopia. Android and Chrome are everywhere, if it could happen it just would. It has the market already and that share is growing.

Also some are equally confusing as the originals. There isnt much point in making a competing standard as we already know what happens (more confusion, more fractured knowledge, etc.) Instead, just print a laundry chart and leave it with th

There is certainly merit to this line of thinking, however that is the scenario where the password is literally the hash of the fingerprint or facial read - this is a use case that's closer to a login name rather than a password. To us

Yes I absolutely believe that - and I believe you’d be the exact person to pipe up about it. The problem with your type is the word “Apple”. From there it’s double standards all the way.

It’s confirmed as the the same toolkit used by Apple and 3rd party authorised repair. The controversy exists because people want it to - iFixIt exists and offers a different approach. Sounds dumb to me that Apple should offer something dif

I think there would be more controversy if Apple skimped here and only provided an iFixIt style repair kit instead of the legitimate tools that the authorised repairers use. I guess there will always be people to argue both sides of this po

EU members: Android and iOS is a duopoly that must be addressed. EU member: lol, citizens get yourself an iPhone or Android or no digital services for you. Yes, I am glossing over nuance here - but how short sighted is this approach.

I feel like more software died during the 32->64 bit transition than any other time in recent history. Lifting the rug is also par for the course for Apple, even artificially so with their latest crackdown on apps that don’t run well.
