You can rent data centers for this stuff nowadays and Apple can easily outbid any competitor.
If they wanted to, they could throw massive amounts of cash on it like Google and Facebook are, with the latter poaching Apple employees with 200$ million pay packages:…
I think they know about them they just don’t care enough to spend money on fixing them. They are still primarily an ad company today and their users are still primarily the product not customers.
I was recently working for a company which got acquired by IBM and we had to do it too. It’s an IBM thing. I bet most people at HashiCorp hate it, at least that was the case for us.
Pretty sure the news coverage would have mentioned that if that was the case.
I travel a lot for work and don’t want to bring a second MacBook Pro. iPad works well in the plane for watching movies, MacBook not so much, at least not in Economy class. Can’t use my work computer for personal stuff…
A lot of small things. For example importing Live Photos. On macOS when you drag and drop an image and video file with the same name into the Photos app, the Photos app combines both into a single Live Photo. On…
All my other devices have 120Hz and switching from any of these to my 5 year old 60Hz iPad Pro gives me physical pain. If the iPad Air had 120Hz I would probably buy that right now. I think I’ll wait for another year…
I don’t know if people are noticing this but apple.com doesn’t have a cookie banner. It’s perfectly possible to operate a website – even a shop – without having a cookie banner. Even one of the biggest here in Europe in…
Text to speech doesn’t work correctly either. It often highlights different words than what is currently spoken.
Another option although it requires using another account is using Gemini for Google Workspace.
> My excitement soon turned to frustration when I discovered that the Music app had to be installed for the iOS 18.4 ambient music feature to work. Not true. I don’t have the Music app installed and ambient music works…
That request came from the United Kingdom, which is famously NOT in the EU.
Is the change applied internationally or in the US only? Google Maps does have the capability to show a different name based on the user’s region. Since the official name is still Gulf of Mexico in the rest of the…
I typically don’t argue in favor of big corporations but I believe them, kind of. Apple includes a lot of things into their SDKs for free, which are paid on Google's platform. For example Apple Maps, Apple Weather, etc.…

> for entrenching you further into proprietary technology But isn’t this already the case right now? In my opinion this argument is kind of backwards because the lack of (or access to) APIs is precisely what’s…
Sentry is written in Python and uses Django.
They might reconsider. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Chrome-JPEG-XL-Seconds
Technically they could already do this as JPEG allows adding arbitrary data to the file after the image data. ZIP files allow arbitrary data BEFORE the image data, therefore a file can be a valid JPEG and ZIP at the…
Well so far we tried doing nothing and that didn’t work either. We should have at least prevented them from growing so fast via acquisitions but it’s too late for that now.
It’s a publicity traded company they don’t need to be sold to be broken up. Each division retains its own value and shareholders get proportionate shares for the new stocks.
As a European I’m still mad at the regulators for allowing Facebook to buy WhatsApp.
This is exactly what’s already happening, without any regulation. I doubt they’ll ever charge for emergency calls, this would only give bad PR. I think we’ll get more information about the paid plans from Apple really…
There seems to be an issue with the download. After purchasing it redirects to a download page but when clicking on download nothing happens. Other users on Reddit are reporting this too. Hope it gets fixed or refunded.
