Applying rigorous engineering principles is not something I see developers doing often. Whether or not it's incompetence on their part, or pressure from 'imbecile MBAs and marketers', it doesn't matter. They are software

The reality is the wetwear that interfaces with any OS is always going to be the weakest link. Doesn't matter what OS they run, I guarantee they will click links and download files from anywhere.

Out of interest, what is the model of headphones? Asking as I’ve not seen this with Beats, Apple or Sony.

by sbuk 2y ago
I’m beginning to think the same. Can’t reproduce with Apple (including Beats) or Sony. Would be interesting to know which headphones do exhibit this behaviour. This seems to me to be a headphone manufacturer SNAFU.

It’s not as if the OP can’t install a different OS that does support x64 processors. The OP is describing a Hackintosh , so there is no vendor lock in. For that matter, installing alternatives on x64 based Macs is also reasonably trivial a

You’re the one making spurious claims! Too much ‘In Europe…’ bullshit posted here

Just no. You can twist it all you want. The app market in the EU is no longer a free market in any sense.

That’s nonsense! Bundled contracts are common in most if not all of Europes economies.

If it’s enforced by regulations, by definition it’s no longer a “free” market. It’s a regulated one.

I learned to drive in Swindon, and went round that roundabout more time that I care to think. Ironically, I failed my first test at a roundabout. Make of that what you will!

Most of us cope just fine, so long as the contrast between the states is clearly different. My colour blindness is anomalous trichromacy, with a perception difference for red-green. Because the examples shared are a bright blue for on and b

Can't reply to the GP as they are (rightly) flagged, but this engineering mindset that anything which adds elegance or beauty is frivilous really limits the ability of an 'engineer'. Look at the works of the great 19th centur

There kind of is. Restart in recovery mode, open a terminal and type `csrutil disable`. Also, there are finder extensions that do what you suggest.

They are free not to develop for the platform; which is the very same argument as "you're free not to install an alternative App Store."

For a change, I don't think the issue is big tech. The certificate issuers and authorities seem to see BIMI as a cash grab.

I'd add that DKIM is relitively simple to configue and, along with SPF, is a worthwhile endovour. It's considered as basic hygiene by spam filters.
