Because people pay, that’s why. But you’re free to disrupt that economy by offering these simple apps for free!

Unfortunately it seems like companies like Microsoft are not content with all those free third party apps offering an open, standardized service where really Microsoft should be the gatekeeper. So now they are ‘enhancing’ the system with ex

I remember these drives being advertised in Byte with some comparison to domino pieces.

We’re living in an era where people regularly use tracking devices to retrieve their stolen bicycles. If they turn up in a store the owner should run into trouble even without regular checks. Of course this depends on the police not being l

I’m pretty sure they can also remotely disable the electronics.

In the Netherlands second hand bicycle stores have to keep records where their bikes come from. A stolen bike shouldn’t end up in a legitimate shop.

Unfortunately that is one of the best outcomes you can expect. At least he got his bicycle back. During COVID there were plenty of officers available to fine normal people who were sitting too close on a bench. But to deal with real crimina

But do you get offered these security updates? I’m pretty sure you only get offered the latest firmware which would be in the 16 series.

That sounds not like they’re limiting it, just that they are not providing drivers for every device under the Sun and are not providing a mechanism to install third party drivers.

I don’t know the rules in Turkey but in the Netherlands insurers cannot insure major disasters like earthquakes, war and nuclear explosions, because although the events are extremely rare a single one would bankrupt the companies.

Apple isn’t stupid, they have done this before. They’ll just have some of their own guys run their line so people aren’t cutting corners.

You don’t need to hack things, the providers are required to cooperate. I just wonder if anyone has tried to actually do it.

Even if that is true, which I kind of doubt because before the iPhone there was Opera Mini, it doesn’t prove anything, because obviously if Apple hadn’t made the iPhone, a few years later someone else would have made a phone that could brow

There’s already plenty of paid podcasts, what Apple and Spotify offer is frictionless payments. And for all the people complaining about Apples 30% cut on the App Store, there’s plenty of podcasters willing to give them exactly the same cut

Has anyone ever tried to find out how one can connect to the TV servers and how the DRM works? In the EU you’d be allowed to get the keys from the provider.

When your proposition is clearly nonsensical you can make up all the best arguments in the world, and it still will never be anything but nonsensical. You’re wasting your breath.

Because the requirements for anything health related are so absurdly high, the investment required to put something on the market is also absurdly high. You can’t make that investment if the next guy can then just go and sell your product f
