Nothing fancy here, just difference of prices/taxes in markets. Same as any YouTube video showing "I flew to Korea and got iPhone 17 Pro Max for cheaper". So there are individuals who do that and it makes sense (if you enjoy

It’s sad that most comments are just focusing on political bashing instead of the root problem here. It’s the fact LaLiga and Spanish ISPs comply. They’re “carpet” blocking entire IPs of Cloudflare. Every weekend if I need to access some of

I totally agree. As HN is focused on developers. I think author should report and investigate of course. But, currently there’s one report with nothing informative except the pink (which from my knowledge is related to metal). But nothing (

Reading everyone’s comments it looks like there is a lot of rant with current iPhone state. I’m also feeling last releases introduced huge regressions. I bought an iPhone 16 seen many issues including keyboard ones. I do hope Apple’s iOS 27

As mentioned here already, Lately Apple is about taking existing ideas and introducing them as new features. (At least in Tim Cook’s era, only exception is Apple silicon) Especially in the “AI game”. Just yesterday Xcode got fuller agent su

The core problem is still the same. Until there will be a broad regulation that enforce any general purpose computing device to allow installing non-provisioned apps, we'll be in those situations.

It's related to the entire security balance which is bad (imho). Until that separation, in the PowerPC/Intel supported days you had the option to remove one from the fat binary (Universal Binary 1). This carried and I can still do

Governmental blockout is one thing but… Even without climate / natural disasters we need to have fallback infrastructures in general. Just yesterday Verizon was down.

The post suggests how to optimize the LLM text with UI elements that reduce the usage of pure/direct prompts. And that’s perfectly fine. Though the title in that sense is more of a click-bait.

It’s a circle that needs to be broken. It has multiple parties even without device manufacturers. Users - there is a broad scope of users. For sustainable eco-system you need also user interest and support of such. Developers - that sounds

I live in the EU and now traveling my family outside the EU. Today I’ve tried updating AltStore but it won’t let me. Even VPNing to my home won’t do it. So until there will be more incentive to make it globally, the UX is intentionally crip

Google’s main revenue is ads. Same goes for their other services. I’d also assume with many ad-supported apps they’re also leading source of ads (also on iOS) Another point to consider, Is they DO take fee from each device developer that in

Hey, the idea is nice, It would be great to know what pushed you to start this format. Also, any apps that uses it would benefit from being add to the repo assuring usability in addition to readibility.

I feel few points weren’t addressed in the article. 1. Size, biggest problem with JSON can happen when things gets too big. So here other formats might be better. Yet, as a reminder JSON has the binary version named BSON. 2. Zero batteries.
