It's interesting how poorly some of these comments have aged in light of the retraction.

> they refused to let you use anything but their proprietary (inferior) connector Ah, the mask comes off! The thing is, people who actually used lightning widely agree that it is better than USB-C. The tactile click is just miles better

There seems to be a lot of confusion between user hostile and developer hostile.

Is that not just a standard design patent (which is different from a utility patent, but nobody understands that), like the infamous first iPhone?

Cool? So one down, how many to go? Why don't they get the same level of scrutiny as, say, Facebook?

But what motivation has the EU to promulgate these regulations? * Chat control is toothless if users can simply side-load an app without snooping. * The EU companies who successfully lobbied for regulations against Apple now see that the 15

Why are you so motivated to fight the truth?

The iPhone 16e (came out less than 6 months ago) starts at $600 without carrier subsidy. That’s about half of what you claimed.

Good for me too? I get the correct answer when I type the keys, exactly as you specified. On both macOS and iOS

Your link says that Apple revoked the certificate used to sign the malware by the time the story was published.

Well, I think you’ve argued yourself into a corner there. Shit parents aren’t going to deny access to video games which are too mature for their children, so a rating system should isn’t going to help

Does HTLM5 and WebGL allow all the same security holes and waste as much energy as Flash? Hmmm? Sounds like it’s not a replacement then.

I think the point (which you seem to have missed) is: How do you distinguish between a terminal under the control of a scam center versus, say, a journalist who has traveled to the vicinity of the call center to interview people and make a

Isn’t that exactly what all the Tesla fans have been saying? I guess the roadster isn’t late now?

I believe it serves two purposes: 1. Reduce false reports by ensuring that activity reports are reasonably geographically near the reporter's location 2. Send alerts to people who are near a cluster of reports.
