I'm not sure it's going to be enough; the ones holding powers in organisations are not ready to let go of it and it's more of a systemic problem. I think a shock is needed for real transformation, politics are just a show, wh

Not at all, he figured out with the NeXT experiment that it was more useful to be open than to lock everything down. Because competition is good for the company also, it creates a force against stagnation. When Jobs came back the Mac was b

I agree so much with the slow part. I think the focus on pure performance with Apple Silicon is to hide the fact that they have become very slow to use generally.

I don't know what kinds of drugs you are on but it must be very nice. macOS has objectively getting worse in so many ways it would take a full day to compile a half serious list. Every redesign has been a pretext for stupid "simpl

You are way too nice on TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat. It's basically a giant narcissism enabler, just with different media. The federated stuff is unsuccessful not just because of protocol stuff (if people really wanted, they would find

Thanks for saying all the right things. I'm always dumbfounded when I find all kinds of people on HN who will fight tooth and nail for Apple when clearly their behavior is almost always purely greed motivated. Now, corporations are alw

If you don't care about having the bits for texture and only care about the taste you could infuse the cream. Heat the cream (stop before boiling of course), add the bits, let it rest for a while and then sieve it. I will add some tim

Yep and this is why many modern organizations are going to shit. Nowadays this behavior is not only heavily shamed but also very often punished. You need to have a lot of power to get away with it. In my opinion all of this comes from subm

I had a similar story. But it makes sense. Because of the image and brand value they project, they get a lot of people who just want to work for them because of that. Thus, they have a lot of options and can be wasting people's time w

Yes that's it. Jobs's annoyances were always about achieving a better product, a higher level of refinement or something of the sort. It was mostly about, "it can be better this way" and he was very often right even thou

There is one thing where you are right: Apple doesn't care much about mouses and is all in with trackpads. But this also completely disproves your theory about why the charging port is on the bottom of the Magic Mouse. Indeed, both the

The Magic Mouse refresh was done way after Jobs death. The Cube had a very annoying design for ports indeed, but at least it was very easy to open/repair, with a handle specifically for it. But for sure it was a case of looks trumping

Apple fanboys are insane, no way around it. They were successful in annoying every customer of this product and being the laughing stock of even their most die hard supporters. Like even across all the very Apple oriented publication, almos

Sure but what Keynote does is pretty niche. On the other hand, Pages is nowhere near the capabilities of Word and still not a good layout program either. Numbers is OK only if your spreadsheet needs are very basic and you mostly care about

There was also a shift in greediness, because all those prof software have pretty good hardware requirement linked to them precisely in the place where Apple extract the most money with their absurd margin. So even if in theory a Mac could

Since they were already Apple hardware only apps, there is a good chance not much will change about it (at least in the near term) and they will just use it as a tool to increase the desirability of their hardware, just like they do for the

Yes they did. But any fact that would paint Apple in a bad light will be silenced here. The truth is that no matter how good of a player Adobe would be, Apple would still be trying to fuck them over because Apple's greed is infinite.

I am an old school Apple user (first personal machine a second-hand Pismo PowerBook) and I find it dumbfounding how most of their customers justify any of their predatory behavior in ways that boggles the mind. It really is cult-like behavi

Microsoft has always been about selling software, nothing else. Windows exists because they need to control a platform that is competitive enough to run their software and that cannot dictate their trajectory too much. They are very happy t

Very cool ! I'm happy this comes from fellow french men. Of course, this comes still at a pretty high cost and you need to have the tools to do it but it's pretty usual for the "hackers" to have those things around anywa

Yes I thought about that possibility too, but I believe most of the Objective-C old school expert are mostly gone from Apple. It makes sense when you look at the timelines, people that were there for the early Mac days are just hitting reti

Well they do have a backup functionality, aptly named "iCloud Backup" but that's only on iOS. It's very frustrating because they are always in a rush to copy the worsts parts of iOS/iPhone for the Mac but they don&#

Yeah the big difference is that Nvidia really is the top dog, in any way you look at it, they simply make better hardware. And even if you add value/cost into the mix, they still do very well, even their highest performing products. Ap

OK I get it. Isn't all that because it is rather hard to correctly implement such math trickery? Since it's not just about manipulating bits, you need to have a pretty good background in physics to do it properly. The more you kno

That makes sense. Of course, the implementations are going to have varying performance depending on code quality/optimisations but that's a given. Edit: some other poster gave some cues to my question. I guess you can do some tri

AFPS is more complex yes, and it's sad they let down Time Machine (somewhat) with it, considering the capabilities. But that's pretty much on point with current Apple, they would rather have you pay for iCloud "backup" t

I don't think xattr works for folders. And you still wouldn't have the fancy presentation you can get with .DS_Store with the graphics and all that jazz. Of course, they could rethink the whole thing but the point is that it'

If spotify use the coreaudio daemon for the decoding it can be spotify's fault for this CPU usage, don't you think ? Maybe they are using it "wrong" but Apple Music isn't exactly light on ressource either...

Disk Utility used to be excellent, a model of how an app should be. But then they rewrote it in Swift and now it's just bad. Apple promotes Swift heavily but the results are not really encouraging. I don't think the "so-so&q
