I think they meant that rendering can only be done with JS/HTML, and if you want to use React stuff, React also has to be involved. No need to be rude and assume the worst. Third point seems true though, I would definitely expect to se

MobileSafari is currently the only thing preventing a Chromium web monopoly.

Because users get a scary warning if they don't do that. Unlike Mac or Windows, where users can download stuff outside the Mac or MS store without warning, so big companies don't use the stores.

Apple Silicon Macs. Aside from that, yes very boring, especially the silly stuff like watches, pencils, and credit cards. That said, I'd rather our country respect private property, also it's not like there's a ton more innov

Android heavily warns users against installing those, which might not fly if the ruling is to treat them equally. Despite that, a major app Fortnite is only available via the Epic Games store on Android.

My Apple BT keyboards+mice run out of battery very quickly and sometimes randomly disconnect/reconnect. A newer non-Apple BT keyboard seems ok on its own, but then there are issues on the other end. My fairly new Windows PC can't

Yeah, it's just a bandpass filter (very easy to make by accident) and an amp.

I tried my Bose NC700 with my Pixel 6. It gave me the quick-pairing notification, asking me also to install an app, which ofc I said no to. Then when it was already paired, I got the pairing notification 6 more times during my call. Probabl

Guess it's less obvious than some Android phones, which mount as a filesystem. But most of them don't.

Yes. I scrolled and found it by chance: "Simply put, your brain is trying to figure out what it’s hearing, so it’s filling in the gaps of the noise you’re listening to with a common sound." Cmd+f found no mention of AM radio in th

It's wild how easily things can act as AM receivers. A pencil and rusty razor, or a tooth filling and saliva.

1. Allowing other app stores would immediately mean each app wanting you to go to a separate store. I barely use apps in the first place but would imagine this being bothersome for those who use them a lot. 2. I don't want my phone to

Doesn't the iPhone present itself just like a camera to any PC? So you can use whatever you'd normally use on Mac or Windows to download the pics.

I have expensive Bluetooth stuff, and in my experience it's always glitchy. Also, even the cheapest wired stuff doesn't have these problems.

Size is an issue, because with more people in a chat, there's an exponentially higher chance that someone doesn't have RCS or has some issue with it.

People do use multiple apps, but everyone in a single group chat has to be using the same app.

I'm fine with this. Apple can extend sucky BT, Apple can make their faster Apple Silicon chips, Apple can make iMessage since SMS is trash, Nvidia can do CUDA cause OpenCL sucked, whatever. Just don't also intentionally kneecap th

Yeah, try setting your nav from Los Angeles to Irvine or San Diego to Irvine on any given day. Guaranteed 2-3 wrecks, plus some jams that the nav might think are wrecks but are just phantom jams.

Also, many newer cars will automatically downshift if they think you want to engine-brake. Usually based on the fact that your foot is off the gas and on the brake for a long period of time.

You always need the clutch to start/stop, though.

Does your old mom use RCS in large group chats?

USB-A always felt fine, even though there's v3 vs v2. But USB-C is a mess.

I've never used one, because they have no use.

Reminds me of how wireless keyboards and mice often don't use BT despite it being totally designed for that use case. They use some random 2.4GHz USB dongle. And well there are BT kbms, but they're unreliable.

RCS doesn't work well in practice. Android group chats happen on WhatsApp, not on RCS.

It's not artificial. SMS is terrible on its own, and that's none of Apple's fault. It's not like Android users are getting together and happily having SMS/RCS group chats.

Yes, they're nice headphones overall, but not the best for audio fidelity.
