With some of what they showed, I wish they never separated iOS and iPadOS. The duo seems to be bringing more of the iPad features and if they could position this as one device to replace both (and the price point sure reflects that) it coul

People did risk assessments with VMWare and we see how that turned out. Things can change, just because you make your risk assessment doesn't mean you should ignore that there is still something in that contract that could turn on you

Of course, I am not arguing otherwise. But if your core problem is not the removal of content but what Sony is arguing right now. You should have just as much of an issue with Valve as you do Sony since you are signing up for the same legal

Why is your knee jerk reaction to defend steam? Sure they have said and claimed a lot of things, but their TOS says the same thing that Sony is arguing. Its suddenly this big shock now but no one cared before? Sure the way Sony is handling

So its fine that they force you to agree to something when you paid for it but its not fine when they do the thing you agreed too? Instead of actually trying to fix the issue we just hope that Valve never has to do the thing they are legall

I maybe should have phrased that better since I do understand their announcement around disks and removing the movies is a reason why they are the current target. I just find it hypocritical, people keep saying they are going to move to xbo

I honestly keep forgetting GoG exists but fair, maybe saying there is no choice is a bit much but if you want to play a given game it may not be available there meaning your choice is to not play it or deal with this.

What I don't understand is why Sony is the one being targeted for this when this has been the case with any digital purchase for 20 years? I don't know of a digital marketplace that works differently. But instead all of the hate,

I gave up long ago trying to optimize any rewards, it just ended up being stressful and not really worth it ultimately. Now I just use my apple card everywhere, pay it off every month and get whatever rewards I get. It feels like a weird si

When I saw the announcement I was kinda hoping that they were taking a magic keyboard, tearing it apart and adding the extra hardware to make having this possible. But seems like that is not the case.

I would be very curious if that cost was before or after Truvada went generic. Through cost plus a month's supply is $14 (which means without insurance): https://www.costplusdrugs.com/medications/emtricitabine-teno

I am arguing that all sexually active people (except maybe those in a fully confirmed monogamous relationship) should at a minimum have a conversation with their doctor about it and their doctor should bring it up. Maybe it isn't worth

I mean we are talking about the "Pro" machine. I think there is likely an argument to be made that if you are not doing a task that would genuinely improve with more powerful hardware do you actually need the Pro machine and you c

That I could see, I guess the question comes down to how often to people upgrade. That comes down to discipline. Is a 3 year upgrade cycle for a MacBook Pro unreasonable? Would you get a lower spec machine since you were not trying to maxim

The math for the new program is kinda perplexing, my guess is that they are hoping that most people just will send in the device and upgrade. If I am reading the FAQ here properly: https://www.apple.com/shop/apple-upgra

> You are extremely unlikely to get HIV from anything other than risky sex. Yes because it is such a fantastic idea to just ignore that there is still a risk regardless of what we call "risky" sex just because it doesn't f

by nerdjon 2mo ago
I guess it depends on what we call risky, I mean if someone is actively trying to get pregnant are we considering that "risky"? Someone could be taking the necessary precautions and a mistake happens, a condom breaks, whatever. So

> If you are not doing risky sex it isn't for you. That blanket statement I very much disagree with. Sure there are side effects but that is part of why you also get tested every 3 months for liver issues (not that it is the only si

Cost and compliance are still 2 major factors that have not been solved. We also have education and stigma. While within the LGBT community it is far more common to be open about status and taking prep and doxy (far from perfect though), it

I have to admit that given how many times we have been here, I struggle with being excited about any news about a HIV vaccine until we see results from humans. Just way too many times of hope. That being said, I don't understand enough

The situation with Apple is what really annoys me about this entire situation, they clearly felt pressure because there was article after article about "Apple falling behind" on AI. And there is some truth to that given that the f

There is a difference though, all of the talk about ML was almost exclusively in the tech circles. Or at most there was a quick reference to "ML" when a feature was announced but it wasn't shoving "ML is doing this THIS&

This is the problem with all of the recent “AI” crap that has been shoved into our devices. We have had ML features for years and it provided real benefits but most people did not know or care how it worked, it just did its job in the backg

I would bet that doing so would be a pretty quick way to have your app pulled. They already require that you use Sign in with Apple, I would think that it working fully is also a requirement?

It isn’t intentionally misleading, at best it is an over simplification of what is happening. It is a fact that there is a government lead effort in various states to ban books from k-12 libraries. That part of this is not up for debate bec

The problem is that there isn’t really a better term, and using “banned” gives the correct impression for most people to see the problem. In many cases these books are not simply being removed at the school level but are being driven by the

I am not fully convinced that a foldable is really going to be something that most will want, but I think it could find its niche. Given that from another article it seems that in the simulator it is using the iPad view it could be useful f

A dishwasher is the only reason you can think of a humanoid robot? How about a robot to load and unload the dishwasher. The fact is we live in a world built for humans. I have a robot vacuum and for it to be effective I had to setup my home

This is basically advocating for open source games which is a completely different story than what stop killing games is trying to do. There are tons of closed source games that have zero online component to them. I don't see how you c

I unfortunately have met a few. I have one friend that legit scares me... we saw how people reacted to o4 being discontinued. Though I do agree that most people probably don't want as much AI as is being shoved on us right now, there i
