There's a lot of appeal to a car vending machine if done right . Like, if I could plug in that I want a Prius Alpha dropped off at my door for no more than X dollars, and someone would hook me up with a well-vetted second-hand Alpha,

I do. I've got a Panasonic hob that's got two types of sensor: one which covers ranges of 140-220 C, and one which covers 60-120. I find it very convenient. It's not perfect, because of course a sensor looking at the bottom o

I feel like this is overstating how good things were. Yes, my ZX Spectrum and Amiga both came with some very nice documentation to at least the block level on how everything worked - but at the same time, every programming manual for the Am

This is always going to be the biggest barrier, even if there were no concerns around e.g. third-party IP, sanitisation, etc. Apple don't want to end up implicitly committing to supporting every element of the current M1 hardware forev

Essentially at that point you're on your own - you can't have Apple able to do recovery and be unable to access your data for other purposes.

Possibly they don't want to clash with people who sell actual karaoke games, either on Apple devices or elsewhere.

Yeah, this is the key context: people have argued that they're essentially a way of capturing all the value of a "going public" event to a smaller audience than a traditional IPO.

Same problem for me. Photoshop? Don't care, plenty of options. Lightroom? Nothing's really an adequate replacement, not least because most of the tools touted as replacements are a lot more concerned about the "digital darkro

You have to be pretty far down the weeb hole to think that anime loli isn't regarded as child porn by anyone outside of that particular cave.
