alberto180··on Apple appears to be breaking iPhone web apps in the EU
It works quite well for some use cases
alberto180··on Apple appears to be breaking iPhone web apps in the EU
Uhm yes? You don't have to develop them specifically for iOS, maintain a separate codebase, pay their extortion fees, or need to buy their Computers to develop

Crippling PWAs would benefit their baseline through their App Store or Core Technology Fee though

Then try again. Rossmann Made a video about it, here is another article talking about it https://www.sir-apfelot.de/en/ssd-failures-in-macbook-models...
alberto180··on Apple kills many browser games in the EU: unprecedented affront to regulation
They are granting their App Store or Core Technology Bullshit an huge advantage
alberto180··on Apple kills many browser games in the EU: unprecedented affront to regulation
They worked just fine until now. Also PWA's are sandboxed in the Browser, and Apple still reviews every App, even the 3rd Party ones

Browser Choice, forcing Microsoft to Unbundle Edge again from Windows and making their crap uninstallable...

At this point they are begging to be punished. No way the EU can save their face without a reaction after all these Middle fingers from Apple

That's why there are so many reports about M1 Notebooks dying after 3/4 years out there.

There are huge noticeable differences between a 10 year MBA and a recent one

alberto180··on Apple's iMessage avoids EU's Digital Markets Act regulation
Yeah until they die because the not changeable SSDs has reached their cycles. I see many old ThinkPads still humming in the university library, but not many old macs.

That's bullshit. You still get the phone thrown after you with a Phone Contract, and often it's the same price as buying the phone in a store. Even with a 2 year contract
alberto180··on Apple's iMessage avoids EU's Digital Markets Act regulation
It isn't a status symbol in western Europe. Really Every moron can get one with their 30-50€/Mo contracts, and you see many poor people running around with it
alberto180··on Apple's iMessage avoids EU's Digital Markets Act regulation
It's available on many platforms. Otherwise no one would use it, since iPhones are quite the minority in Europe
alberto180··on Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs
No why should you ignore road deterioration? Road deterioration is Weight^4
alberto180··on Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs
Nope that's just wrong, you often get more space in the regular car. The classic "ugly" family cars like Renault Espace or VW Sharan provide waaaaay more space than the SUVs
alberto180··on Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs
SUVs are shit with interior space. Compare an X5 with a VW Sharan and you will see the latter one is a space wonder
alberto180··on Protect Act Could Require Removal of All Existing Porn Online
If you can't rent a flat for you alone or are two to three pay checks away from eviction with 61-81k/year I'm afraid, you can't handle money. No cashier earns so much money
alberto180··on Protect Act Could Require Removal of All Existing Porn Online
As opposed to the US where every cashier at Dollar General owns a home and lives free of monetary worries
alberto180··on AI needs so much power that old coal plants are sticking around
You know what these huge towers with white smoke at nuclear plants do?
alberto180··on [dead]
It's a start, you have to roll out measures like this slowly or people will oppose it. It's the same with sane tempo restrictions in cities.
alberto180··on Cloud Egress Costs
Maybe in the US. Not here in Europe
alberto180··on Lessons from a fountain pen addict
The market didn't move on. Montblanc, Lamy and Pelikan make good money each year with Fountain Pens. If you have to write an Examen in university you would also prefer a fountain pen, because Stuff written with Biros looks like Shit as opposed to Gel Pens or Fountain Pens. And yes the looks also matter there
alberto180··on Lessons from a fountain pen addict
You don't smudge if you learn the right writing position for lefties. Unfortunately most teachers are too ignorant to teach it in school. I've also written the wrong way until my mid 20s and my Hand was hurting badly after some time. Learning the right writing position was annoying for a few weeks but after that I'm writing more than ever and happily
alberto180··on Nvidia's "Grace" Arm CPU holds its own against x86 for HPC
In the server market value for money counts. No one is paying a huge premium for the brand there
alberto180··on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 NTSB preliminary report [pdf]
Sorry that's both just wrong. The A320 Doors open to the outside (as can be seen here https://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/1364569/d-ainb-lufth...), and also come with a mechanical opening aid that Boeing doesn't come with, because of the Grandfathering of the 737. And emergency exits in "Europe" obviously open to the outside. At least in West/North Europe
