Believe or not, these kind of articles unfortunately are necessary for the regular Joe.

But but but muh innovation! Standards ruin that! /s

Man, they're seething against the EU, totally pissed that the legislators worked against their abuse over developers and rubbed against their cash cow.

Apple is all about money and fucking the user, being no different from Meta or Google. All they have is shinier hardware.

Dude, Linux can't make fingerprint readers work on regular machines... Nevermind hoping it to work from Apple's hardware.

I kinda understand it, because iMessage is completely irrelevant outside the US. It still sucks, bacuse more choice and less lock in is always better for consumers.

Quit for what? Linux is a mess with hardware like fingerprint readers being unsupported, and without the most used commercial software. Mac OS is a buggy mess lately, and it ties your data to a time bomb hardware and that damn walled garden.

Windows is the best general use OS out there, and Microsoft knows it. We need regulation to stop that abuse.

"Hey, you know that fancy AI we're developing? I just had a crazy cool idea to use it for!"

They just write it off!

That's... Not very much in this context. Makes me think that WB is penny pinching, which doesn't make too much sense. Wouldn't it be better to release the movie and profit from it than just having a 21% discount?

I don't know, just thinking loud here...

So if I get this right: I lost 80 million by making this movie and shelving it. I made another movie that I spent another 80 million but made 40 million in profit. Then, instead of paying taxes for 120 million (the 80 million it made + 40 million extra) I'll pay only over the 40? This would start to make sense about Warner Brothers...

You go to a forum about questions to complain about questions being made. There's a dumbfuck here alright, shit brains. Blocked.

I hate Hate HATE that I'm going to say this: the iPad was just a bigger iPhone, yet here we are. It's the perfect device for consumption and light work, yet people had no idea about what to do with it at first.

I'm more irked about that thing being gigantic and strapped to your face, thought. It's the next level of social isolation, in a level even higher that the one cause by smartphones, and I'm not ok with that. Companies actually want to hijack and sell your reality back to you.

Thank you. Windows is plain better for the average user, and that's a hard pill for many to swallow. Heck, I force myself to use Linux time to time but I always go back because the Affinity suite and my fingerprint reader only works on Windows. I have no reason to stay on Linux, it's too limited outside niche cases.

Perhaps the most egregious (or successful, depending on your point of view) example would be constitutional sheriffs.

Shit, this went from harmless nutcases to completely terrifying.

That I can help. Back in the day, to access someone’s else computer you literally hooked up yours to a phone line. Your desktop would then dial to some number you got that had another computer listening to answer, and they would start a “conversation”. Your computer sent what to us would sound like noise, the receiving computer would listen to that noise and answer back. Voilá, you’re connected to a network!

This is how it sounded like

And here’s an explanation about what’s happening.

And warmer!
