I get the sarcasm and I wish Apple would stop their luxury fashion brand run and go back to interesting affordable universal tech...

Yeah, this completely piss me off nowadays, the current crop of Apple cultist has insane history revisionism built-in to fit their narrative on how Apple will prevail in the end, because history says so (yet in the recent past history has p

I can tell you from experience that it is exactly that. It depends quite a bit on the variety and dose but overall, this is how it feels. When you take it, everything is great, the next day there is the leftover that makes it a "chill&

Yeah well, it has been a thing around Apple products for a while, they call reality distortion field but quite frankly I think it's borderline lying. For some reason, people keep giving Apple a pass for many of the shortcomings of thei

The powerful view of the hardware is a lot of hype and can only be applied to Macs costing largely over 2k which puts them in a category where they are in fact pretty weak hardware. And that's if we consider the benchmarks and take all

Yeah, I had relocated to Paris just after the first iPhone, seeing how useful it was I bought the 3G phone the summer of its release...

Late reply, but that is definitely "user error"; and the iPhone will exhibit the same problem if you allow any random app notifications access. There are plenty of bad actors, even on iOS. For example, even Uber Eats will target y

I think you have it backward. All successful musicians are in majors because they were the ones who could propose the best deal at the start of their career. It doesn't take a genius to recognize when a musician is much better than ave

While he was certainly targeting that kind of audience it is extremely shortsighted to think that it was Job's primary target. In fact, if you have enough knowledge about everything he has said and done, it's easy to argue that he

Maybe but the vast majority of people have zero issues with malware and don't really care about the perceived advantage of privacy (just Apple marketing because they can't sell ads, if they could they wouldn't give a shit). I

I used to believe the same thing, but that's just Apple propaganda, pretending their stuff is better than everything else when in practice it's not always the case. It would be an argument if Mac native development could be ported

The only reason you would need to spend 3K is because of Apple. You could spend half that and get a similar/better computer that would last as long. Or spend as much and get something that would significantly outlast any Mac of the sam

I completely agree. It takes less than 3 sec to load and displays chats on a 9 years old PC. So, either he is lying or the mac he is talking about really sucks. But to be honest it is quite possible since they still sell overpriced 8GB slow

Do you realize that yourself, in your own reply, pointed out the fact that it is indeed and non-viable option. As in it doesn't exist because there is no money in it because it doesn't change the company bottom line in any meaning

Apple Music is the perfect representation of what Apple has become in my opinion. iTunes was a hugely influential, useful and well-made software. Apple Music is a poor imitation of its predecessor and somehow manages to be worse in every me

The article is indeed terrible writing. While Peterson may have its issues, at least I assume what he writes is sort of interesting to read because otherwise he wouldn't have so many people reading his stuff. So, it may not be a true i

More and more people are realizing that what you are talking about as lacking are actually useful features. Because they are easy to reason about, because they leave a trail, because everyone can work on their own stuff without impacting e

The fact that you compare iA Writer with Scrivener is pretty funny. The first is an overpriced minimalist lifestyle app. It has some value, but definitely not what they sell it for. The app is a rather simple development with a low number o

Yeah, that's it and exactly what I have been thinking for a long time. Interestingly the single core power efficiency for Apple Silicon is through the roof, yet for multicore it is rather small (13-15%). Also depending on your workloa

As someone who had bought and used many portable audio solutions before, I could get an iPod I think you are delusional. MP3 players were completely garbage, with low space, low battery or extremely expensive and inconvenient if you had to

Yes, people use Steam because they can make pricing competitive enough (low) that they will find users that will pay for the game instead of just pirating it or trying to buy it somewhere else cheaper. Steam also has built-in market arbitra

I checked and it is indeed higher at 30cts + 2.9% but the international cards and currency conversion fee are much lower (1.5%, 1%). Your base case is a bit worse and it will work out over 30% for a payment of 1 (0.329) but if you sell a 5$

The repeating part is about you saying basically the same thing to the previous commenter, I don't get how you do not intuitively understand that? It's not exactly clear to me what you are asking but you seem to be making the trad

Where do you get this number for Stripe ? Right now, in the EU, the standard fee (before negotiation and volume consideration) is 0.25ct + 1.5% which will work out to about 26.5% cut for a 1-euro payment that is the worst-case scenario curr

Very few people bought Windows separately, its price was bundled with the hardware sale just like it is with iOS. This is a completely moot point. You could try to argue that Apple give more value by supporting longer, but then again you wo

The thing is that you can't really talk about Steam like other platforms. They are already competing with themselves on price somehow. Games that are launched on Steam do not cost more than they do elsewhere in the first place, and sec

To be honest it seems like what it is for the younger generation in life generally. A nice legacy from the boomers and unsurprisingly Apple is a very big boomer company. I think many here do not see this since they earn enough that those co

You seem to be doing some history revisionism, at least from the point of view of someone in France. At the time of iPhone release (that I imported in France) there were very few phones of what you could consider smartphones. I actually ha

You seem to believe that we don't know that, demonstrating precisely what we are talking about. Nobody ever said that this is a guaranteed thing, and that's completely beside the point. Most things in life are not 100% certain, bu
