The majority of airlines operating in Europe and the majority of flights taken are on low cost carriers where this is the norm. It’s not just RyanAir there’s dozens of them.

Do we expect the social media ban implementation to be any different to the 18+ restriction on pornography? Personally I doubt it. Real enforcement will come from parents and schools now having authority to stop kids instead of currently be

It’s trivially easy to obtain the discount. Anyone working in education, or a student at any level, k-12, higher ed, graduates with access to uni email can get it. Apple doesn’t ask any questions or for verification. They also go on sale at

Seems shocking that for $46.3 million they cannot find a way to enable this. My heart goes out to any Fisker owners who purchased one of these soon to be bricks at full sticker.

It's an American oddity where (crooked) local police departments fund themselves off fine revenue. Most countries centralise fine revenue with the state or federal government to remove such incentives. They also don't have the gov

As a nuclear armed power that has shown far more propensity for military intervention outside their borders (see Africa) than all other nato members I wouldn’t bet against the French here.

Is it really within Apple’s purview to police the styling of an app distributed on an alternative digital marketplace? Surely protecting developers from these kind of arbitrary restrictions by Apple reviewers is the one of the reasons the E

Only when an app is distributed from their store though? You can request a developer certificate, notarise your apps and deploy them from your website using any API you desire...

I'm not supportive of Apple at all in this but to say that Android works "fine" without notarisation is a stretch[1]. Apple already has already implemented a perfectly functional balance between security and developers rights

Anything that requires turning off the phone will need a passcode once it powers on. This includes battery replacement, screen, microphone, camera, etc. Only for camera repairs is it feasible to test fully without entering a passcode. Of co

It’s a risk. But it also takes a few hours to restore from backup and there’s a bunch of things that (sensibly) don’t restore and require manual setup. I know Apple will never ask for your passcode but in the case of a repair shop that prom

This also solves a somewhat unique problem I experienced recently with iCloud keychain where all your passwords are only as secure as your passcode (and anyone that knows it). I had to hand my phone over to a third party repairer. This woul

Speed for iPhone 15 Pro is USB 3 20x faster than the regular iPhone 15. This implies 10Gbps (USB 3.1 gen 2x1 or 3.2 gen 1x2) on the pro and 480Mbps (USB 2.0) on the standard phone.
