Let’s step back and go through the thought process of the team that’s implementing this feature. If they leave the feature disabled by default most likely casual users will never use it because they won’t be able to find the setting buried

How well is Apple doing with the modem team they purchased from Intel? I have yet to see Apple release their own in-house 5G modem. I don’t think Apple can magically turn things around for Intel and such an acquisition would be a waste of m

This explanation makes sense, Nadella is a much better CEO than Ballmer. But I hope HN can hold Nadella accountable for Microsoft’s key decisions in the future instead of blaming MS as a faceless corporation because Nadella is the face of M

I read through these threads and no one blames Nadella for these decisions. But when Google makes a mistake inevitably someone will blame it on the poor leadership of Pichai. Why does HN have a double standard for Nadella?

Executives are always incentivized to increase share value; that’s their job. Note: it’s the board of directors that issues new shares not executives. Executives can sit on the board, but the two are not the same. Executives are actually ap

Why are you using the metric of annual revenues must equal market capitalization to determine whether a company is overvalued? And why use revenue instead of earnings? Currently if NVDA can double their earnings next year they’d have a P&#x

Don’t be too quick to accept these criticisms. You have to compare to competitors in the industry to get a clearer picture. Looking at screen repairs for Samsung Galaxy phones the same security issues arise and there are complaints about Sa

Since Epic is fighting Apple, let’s overlook the fact it is charged by the FTC for using dark patterns to sell virtual costumes for billions; an interesting choice for a champion of consumer rights.

Phishing apps posing as trusted sources (ie a fake banking app), a key logging browser, anything pertaining to trust. None of these are vulnerabilities to the OS itself.

By your logic Unix is insecure just because an admin is allowed to install a trojan? The OS itself cannot stop the user from installing malicious software.

Thanks for the response; those restrictions do make running homebrew code rather inconvenient. I read that buying a dev account increases the limit to 10 apps and they expire every year. That’s probably sufficient for my use cases, but it’s

Can someone more familiar with iOS app development explain why people can’t just use developer mode on their iOS devices to run untrusted code? Can’t you bypass the App Store entirely with this method?

Unlike Apple, which can have all their apps installed by default on their OS, Spotify doesn’t have such luxury. They’re lucky if users take the time to download and install their one app let alone asking them to install multiple apps. I’m s

I had to look this up: PWA stands for Progressive Web App and according to web.dev is “a webapp that uses progressive enhancement.” On iOS you can install a PWA using the “Add to Home Screen” function.

I believe it’s simply that the performance gains from going to 3nm aren’t nearly as significant as going from 7nm to 5nm. Apple would love to show big performance gains between M2 and M3 if they could. It was curious when they announced App

Sorry, but season 2 of Loki was a nonsensical mess of a show. They used up most of their best ideas in season 1. I think it’s time for Disney to give the MCU a rest and come back to it in a decade or two.

I missed that it was part of the Disney presentation. In that case it may be just vaporware. Truthfully it would require a lot of infrastructure at the arena/stadium before it could even be realized. I’m not sure the sports team owners
