File transfer that just works. My mum can use airdrop. She sends us things. She doesn't need to install anything or configure things. She just uses the first-party UI. It's the same with Airpods. Bluetooth headphones?…
Absolutely agree. I'd say this goes one step further. We hand down older devices to our parents. They are completely happy with a device several generations back. The current product philosophy has completely cut them…
I absolutely am. Part of the appeal about iOS for me is that apps are reviewed for quality and don't have obvious scams or spywear inside. I'm happy to guide my parents to use and download apps from the app store…
I don't think it is egregious at all. Instead, many people seem to have had a head-in-the-sand view that many of the services Apple provided were no-cost, or done out of goodwill. So, now there is the option for…
But why? Apple is providing the whole ecosystem, operating system, security, notarization etc - there are costs to be covered. Of course there are costs incurred per install. Previously there were covered by a higher…
That's an interesting point regarding suggestions. I wonder if they are having a massive drop in user engagement as the user base has matured. As in, anecdotally, all my friends and I just talk about using the radio…
That view misses the point for their likely customers. My company will be all over this. We 'could' continue to use open-source components we're gluing together ourselves. But risk-aversion and speed-of-iteration are…
Because very few people use the term open core unless they are trying to be a pedant or nitpick, and your comment (and the grandparent) come off as trying to detract from the thread with a strawman. The original post…
The offering by OP is a fairly common and accepted structure, and this seems like an unwarranted nitpick? Another org with a similar offering is Elastic, who offer Elasticsearch as a "Free and Open, Distributed, RESTful…
I think it is pretty fair to say that Diablo 1 did effectively create the genre as far as the history of gaming is concerned. The commercial and mainstream impact of that game vs anything prior to that is on a different…
Good points - but I fundamentally disagree here. The whole ecosystem, culture and metaphor of having a 'device' with 'apps' is to enable access to a range of solutions to your various problems. This is all going to go…
> But none is really guaranteed to work as intended, indeed since it's all natural language, what's intended itself will remain a bit fuzzy to the humans as well. Yeah, you're completely correct. But this is exactly the…
I can't help but feel that the pricing is backwards. I understand funding the growth of the business but $120/year per-person isn't going to fly. Imagine trying to explain to your family why they should switch - oh,…
Absolutely, swarms make a lot of sense. Also, the key difference between a 'hard' challenge like self-driving cars and something like self-sustaining agriculture is that the reliability doesn't need to be 100%. An…
MacOS Monterey. Rock solid, does everything I need.
Anecdotally this isn't true. The only time I have heard anything about Stephen King in the past few years has been in relation to a tweet he has made. I think this is true for many significant accounts on the platform:…
> That quite literally cannot be the status quo going forward. Honestly, I disagree. The Apple customer experience and product ecosystem is just so far ahead of any competitors I don't want to use anything else. As far…
Anecdotally, I don't think this reflects reality. A 'strategic shift' to present suggested content may be what Facebook wants to do (or would like to tell investors it is doing). However, the amount of real content…
That's a fair point. I think another perspective is that this is a case of businesses chasing (or being forced to chase) endless 'growth'. Facebook is likely optimising to increase engagement and revenue. But in my…
Same situation with mine. Even had to have the battery replaced after showing errors, after a whole ordeal to have it covered under warranty. I suspect this was related to the constant overheating.
If you haven't seen it already, take a look at https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle for an OSX window utility. I've been having great success with it. Some placements may take a couple of shortcuts, but this is easy to…
> At the moment nobody can complete with Steam because Steam has most of their games. Exactly? You're right. Which is why Steam will never allow this from their side.
> Why don't you like them _and_ which of those reasons will affect their job performance? > Do they dismiss any approaches besides their own? Do they think mentoring is a waste of time? Do they think that their code is…
HN hug of death maybe? I have just tried and am not able to get in, stuck on "Entering World"
You're right. I think so much of this discussion is missing the forest for the trees though. The bigger picture question is whether dense, expensive metropolitan areas, or other locales with expensive cost-of-living are…
