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 needs…
Why? Are safety issues not "serious"?
From this [1] 2017 report: > pharmaceutical and biotechnology sales revenue increased from $534 billion to $775 billion between 2006 and 2015 > worldwide company-reported R&D spending, most of which went to drug…
Same energy as Unlimited Data!! (up to 100GB)
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…
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]…

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…
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,…

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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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 -…
