As you say there could be some legal jiggerypokery but Apple claim it's still only two years for an iPhone: > Up to 2 years from date of purchase for Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple Watch or Apple Watch Sport With the price of i

Hmm, you’re right. I think my confusion was that Mac AppleCare used to be advertised as an additional 2 years (you could buy it as your standard warranty expired) but it’s now advertised as 3 years from device purchase too. Wonder when that

The AppleCare itself lasts two years, but that’s in addition to the year you get by default. The two don’t run concurrently. Edit: no, they do run concurrently. See child post. GP’s edited the reference to 3 years anyway.

You’re right that it’s speculative (the UK will retain the laws created by the directives into UK law as part of the “Great” Repeal Bill so nothing might change) but the UK could have higher standards already - the EU directive sets a minim

The EU doesn’t enforce the regulations anyway, member states do through their respective agencies. In this case, the Environment Agency and/or Scottish EPA will have responsibility.

What would that bilateral agreement look like without the organisation just being a wing of NATO though? The point I got from the GP is that Russia has a massive military force such that any large scale invasion would inevitably go nuclear

Weird, I can't remember seeing it for ages (my normal-use phone has the beta profile, so it's run iOS 11 since WWDC).

I guess the corollary to that is Dropbox faking the macOS credential popup [1] - anything you can see can be cloned. If they'd just fixed it so it didn't appear so damned often and without any apparent cause (I get that it was pro

Yeah, that was the suggestion I saw people make when Marco Arment mentioned [1] that the popup was bad too. As you say, it’s not great but it seems better than nixing the popup entirely. 1: https://twitter.com/marcoarment&#x

Prior to iOS 11, the OS would quite often ask for your Apple ID username/password by showing a popup regardless of whether you were in another app or Springboard. Since you don’t know what the hell’s prompted that request, it was noted

I'm guessing since the device isn't his (and the similar disregard shown for, you know, doing any work) he's not all that bothered about it getting greasy. Hate to be whoever has to prep it for the next employee though...

Assuming the parties correctly report the spending, or anyone bothers to investigate. I think that is the weak point - if it wasn't for a fairly dogged campaign by Channel 4 the problem with the Tories overspending to promote particu

To be fair the UK is an order of magnitude smaller and election spending hasn’t reached the stratospheric levels of the USA. There’s also the example of a number of the pro-Leave campaigns in the EU referendum receiving donations from unkno
