Apps exist on multiple platforms just fine. The fact that dealing with App Store approval rules & timing sucks is just a cost of doing business. Plenty of outfits deal with it to get the exposure/userbase or ignore it.

Does this apply to any software integrations provided by enterprise vendors? Can I use your logic to force Oracle/SAP to list random software on their "integrations" storefront? I think the answer would be no, and for good re

The grocery chain example has one very important difference: You can choose to buy Apple - they aren't a monopoly by any means in any market. Whereas with the grocery chains - you must go to the store in California or not get groceri

I remember that flying in the 90s was a hell of a lot smoother than after 911. I recall once (1998) getting to the airport 10m before departure time, running through the airport (with help from airline agents), and making the departure (a

RAM usage even vs Intel Mac was completely different - I did push my M1 Air a while back and it complained about running out of memory but that was once in the past 1.5 years after I'd skipped rebooting for 4/5 weeks. On my Intel

The problem is speculation by foreign money or wealthy people. This is fixable by taxation or by limiting corporate ownership of homes.

Blame our litigious society for making this kind of interaction impossible. Plus when is the line crossed between "friendly banter" and straight-up harrassment?

It's moving slower in Europe, that's all.

Apple does it properly - version + moniker. Searching google/etc for specific issues related to version numbers alone is a disaster, so monikers have a use.

Maybe we shouldn't be putting them in there then? On the taxpayer dime...

Same as in 2004. It's so political powerful, you can even start a war against it.

Plastic is literally the oil in MtG's Phyrexia. A card [1] that just seems to symbolize a lot of what I feel about how we douse our environment in petrochemical residue and forever chemicals for a bit of convenience. https:/&#x2

Aka “friend-shoring”. Honestly I struggle to see why we can’t start bootstrapping some tech build here in the US.

It's not intellect. It's organization. Why does the US still not have universal healthcare? Europe/China aren't somehow smarter or "health geniuses" - they just put in the effort and made it a priority to pro

So the entire point of a "valuation" is to determine the sale price, right?

Greed. That's why. Having a wildly profitable business isn't enough. It has to be as profitable as the market will bear. Pure capitalism.

I've done well with a corded drill (we only use it occasionally in the house/garage near outlets). My 10yo cordless battery packs died and the new LiPo batteries (same vendor) have a different form factor.
