Probably because there aren’t any, they can’t specifically say “iOS”.

I’m not aware of any other operating system (except the ones in game consoles or dedicated hw) that doesn’t allow the user to install other software not approved by the manufacturer

As usual doing malicious compliance, like when they pretended that iOS and iPadOS were two completely separate operating systems and so iPadOS shouldn’t need to support third party app stores as EU said “iOS”

Only if you live in a country like russia, china, iran, north korea or south arabia

0.69? Here they take 0.89 which is a nice 1000% markup over the electricity price. And the shame is that everyone copied the insane pricing, still blaming “sorry the war in Ukraine forces us to double the prices” even if they now came back to what they were in the beginning of 2021

Looks like the team knew what was going on, three weeks ago the main European competitor hired this Tesla supercharger manager as CEO https://newmobility.news/2024/04/18/ionity-snaps-up-tesla-supercharger-europe-boss-as-new-ceo/

With this move Tesla effectively gave up on the $7.5 billion package from the us government to build new infrastructure. Since it was paid with private money, it doesn’t require to be nationalized. It’s also accessible to anyone, with prices that are reasonable

Also, I don’t know how efficient is the government in the usa, but in my country the chargers built by the semi-nationalized electric company are almost always broken because they don’t really care about profits, they have the unlimited government budget, so what’s the issue if a charger breaks and gets fixed after 2 years, making zero revenue during that time?

Any H1B visa hostage can pick up someone else’s work on xitter for slave hours, but for cars you need experience, talent and know how. If you fire a whole team to save $x, then you gotta pay $5x to rebuild that team when you eventually need it. (Tesla probably needs a team to develop new models, eventually. Same for the policy team, useful to launch the auto taxi when it exits from beta in 2045

not only the board won’t fire him, but probably would even vote towards approving that bonus he’s craving

He really wants that 56 billion bonus huh?

That kart game was genius programming, give you a few initial levels where it let you think that you’re driving the kart, that you’re winning because of your skills, then start the real routine of “autopilot simulator programmed to lose until you activate the paid power ups”

Edit: and I can’t believe that more than ten years passed from the release of that “game”, I remember I was playing it on my BlackBerry Z10, i can see why many itt are saying “always has been shitty” - just a year before they weren’t shitty. Gameloft released games like “9mm” and “batman the dark knight” that for just one dollar were console like experiences. And beach buggy racing, and riptide.

Adventure games don’t sell too much, and four episodes are a lot if you make them separate purchases. Episode 2 would be purchased only by a fraction of episode 1 users, then episode 3 from a fraction of episode 2 and so on. And the longer the time between episodes, the smaller the chance it would generate new sales because existing users lost interest.

It’s instead much more remunerative to think a fun gameplay mechanic, then create a fake ad around it, buy some assets and create an idle game that plays by itself with the possibility to pay to get it faster. Use the fake ad with the fun gameplay to promote the completely different game and users are dumb won’t complain. Don’t worry if the assets you purchased for your asset flip are unrelated, it’s also allowed to be a completely different genre, for example evony (medieval and swords theme) is using zombies, tanks and machineguns in ads

Wait, the games in the cartridge need to be installed in the main memory as well? Effectively just a drm gimmick?

They can’t read the resources they need from the cart like in the past?

And then they’re spending billions to try sportwashing their bloody image. Isn’t much cheaper to just be decent in human rights? Then people would like you even without your billions

I personally don’t know anyone who uses the in car gps over google/apple maps anyway.

And this is why the newer GM cars don’t support android auto / carplay

Wow! I wonder if it can play the original cover orange 🍊

So, protesting for human rights is “violating Google policies”???

if it’s a 100% online game what to do? They would be forced by law to keep servers online in perpetuity? The workaround could be to create a shell company that would bankrupt the day they want to discontinue the game and turn off the servers

Right i forgot about atom and vs code, the quality of those is excellent

Obsidian too

ok, but in this case, it’s just a webview of mail.proton.me

it doesn’t have hardware access, it doesn’t work offline (technically, if it cached the files it can work offline, but can’t work offline-offline like thunderbird), it doesn’t work with the filesystem, it doesn’t interface with the OS and installed OS packages, it doesn’t use other native binaries, doesn’t use more native networking capabilities, etc…

from what i saw, the electron apps that are to be considered real apps and not just a lazy webview around the webapp are:

• bitwarden
• crickets

Only the second day? You’re optimistic

I like to use hmailserver just because it’s very easy to set. But being discontinued i keep it inaccessible from outside the network.

I’m surprised that on a system that was completely hacked and never patched, only a single player cheated on an online game

But if they spend millions on WiFi hotspots then how they can pay the dividends to the shareholders? If you listen to them the company is barely profitable and more cuts are needed

I wouldn’t even think about the spine lolol

Apple doing malicious compliance.

What’s the point of a third party app store if devs still need to be approved by Apple?

Hope they get fined

At least the reverse engineered foss client is better than the original

I also got the message via email

My account is wiped and I don’t login since ages

Seems pushing a crypto agenda.

Hosting a Bitcoin node is literally the last thing I would host. Almost 600 gb of garbage transactions so you can check the 500 bytes of your own transactions without relying on external services?

Because otherwise they would be at version 60

Almost every update is breaking for immich

Cool, I wonder the pricing.

I feel like holoiso would be better for this, but maybe in this way it would entice more devs?

Uh people actually liked Quora? I always blocked that website for SEO spam

Except a PC from 2008 can still run the latest windows 10 version without any real issues (an i7 940 from that time is roughly equivalent in perfomance to a brand new Celeron g5900) while a Mac from 2008 became e-waste years ago when Apple discontinued MacOS and workarounds become harder and harder with each yearly os update. And too many Mac developers target the latest MacOS versions so if you don’t update you can’t run latest apps.

“But you can run Linux on a Mac” yeah thanks to the proprietary shit, if I run Debian on my old iMac I get only a black screen (other distros are running ok though, not all of them are without issues)

it’s literally in their name

“Embracer, extend, and extinguish”

in this way they can get a sale from the early adopter + they’re going to buy it again when they re-release the refresh with oled

150 apps that has been explicitly updated to support a device that’s so expensive that’s guaranteed that nobody would actually buy it is a lot. And it’s not even on sale yet!

For comparison look at the Microsoft hololens. Similar concept and similar price, announced 8 years ago, can only dream of having 150 useful apps. If i go on the hololens store page it says “Showing 1 - 90 of 321 items” and you can see that are mostly demos or proof of concepts.

8 years after the launch has just over double the apps for a device that will launch next month

The ad is really dystopian, the dad is ignoring the kid IRL and playing with memories of that kid

Accounting software needs to be updated yearly to the local tax codes or it becomes useless

I got one a decade ago. The steam from microwaving caused corrosion in the top heater element, so it shorted and I had to buy a new one

378 political parties? That seems 368 too many parties

There were four problems with their decision:

1. They chose the most expensive car to fix, and that it can’t be fixed in independent shops. So, a small dent after a parking where everyone else says “well anyway the insurance pays for it” becomes a $3000 expense

2. They gave those expensive cars in lease to Uber drivers, meaning instead of having $100 of profit a day, they get a tenth of that, plus they get back a car with thousands and thousands of miles. And those drivers when they get a small dent after a parking they say “well anyway the full cover insurance (Hertz) pays for it”

3. They gave those cars with a new charging infrastructure to people with no experience at all, which is a shock for someone new. A bit of training is required

4. They purchased those expensive cars at full MSRP which IMHO is insane because any other automaker CEO would have done everything (=steep discounts) in order to sign such a deal
