Ah perhaps the app is using bedtime mode for its functionality? Didn't get a chance to try it myself yet, but great that pausing is already implemented.

How about a pause mode? I use Android's Bedtime mode a lot, and it has a helpful feature that let's you quickly "Pause for 30 minutes" or "Turn off for now" from a notification [1]. I don't think the app n

I'm not sure how any of this is related to the article. Does this non-Tesla manufacturer claim that their steering assist is "full self driving"? If you believe their steering assist kills more people than Tesla FSD then you&

Close, it's 40!/(20!*20!) 20 Rs, 20 Ds in a 20x20 grid. Example pattern: RRDDDR...D (40 letters) Basically the number of permutations, with repetition, of 20 Rs and 20 Ds.

There are examples of things breaking in this very comment section [1]. Given how widely used ACF is, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that a lot of weekends were ruined by the "fork". [1] https://news.ycombinato

I agree. Though to be fair Nintendo's NES is a gaming console (not that they are right, just contrasting the use-cases). Consider Apple's very own Mac - another general-purpose computing device like the iPhone, only in a different

I'm going to reply here to provide a bit more context, since many of the threads are diving too deep into the specifics of linux/foss/openness/ideology, which was unfortunately not the point. The main crux of my comment

A lot of people are quick to lock themselves into a gatekeeper's walled garden, and throw away the keys. That Linux has not only survived for so long, but thrived, is a true testament to the will, technical expertise, and product visio

> Are you seriously asking why Apple offers its users a built-in app ... As you may have already read in my comment, I'm asking why it wasn't uninstallable to begin with.

Please do tell us more about why the Photos "app" is unique and wasn't uninstallable to begin with, surely it's not a business decision made explicitly to increase vendor lock-in and introduce friction to consumer choice

Oh but we do care. Not every app developer is a dealership, a car is used in a much broader context. Some may be like Uber, turning the car into a taxi service, or like Turo, allowing it to be rented. Others may be independent mechanics tha

But a car is used for more things than going to the dealership, and the dealership does not sell me groceries. Perhaps I want to race, or carry ikea furniture, or jump start another car - it is a general-purpose transportation device. Simil

Why not? You are presumably less-clothed in a pool, it could take pictures. Or record private conversations. Or both. But sure, here's another - You can run any company's software on a MBP, downloaded from the internet, without pa

True, though the situation isn't exactly equivalent. Using another real estate analogy - Imagine you bought a house from Fruit Builders company. The house came with a pool. Now unlike every other pool in existence, this is a very speci

It is much harder to explain to consumers why Apple should get a percentage-based rent (sorry Core Technology Fee that enables Privacy and Security™) if they go to a non-Apple website, download a non-Apple app, to do non-Apple-related thing

Sure, but the cut is a fixed amount based upon the value of the services the middleman is providing. And most importantly, it is not a percentage of the revenue the customer is able to generate by using these services - these two models are
