01 March 2024
A couple of weeks ago it announced the move, which it's now changed its mind on.

For the rest, 8 give you right, people still do not know exactly how and if yes, is bad or not, this relativly "new" life style affects the younger. There are still researches that contradict eachother and lobyism. So we might get the facts in about 40 years, when ii might be too late to reinvent the education system.

      Please bring a rule that will force users to show their government id for installing any app on their device.
      Please bring this.
      People will be safe and secure and national innovation will happen much faster and may be grater than earlier days.
      Salute.

                  now THIS is the kind of shit I wanna see more of

                    Anonymous, 02 Mar 2024Change your mind and tell people how joke iPhones are.60hz on a 800 USD phone when phones less than 500 have 90-120hz. Hell, even phones competing at the same price started getting 144hz (W Asus and Moto). It feels smooth because of the fluid animations that Apple forces their developers to add. They also have the audacity to call 120hz "ProMotion" on their phone, when LTPO technology that any 5-600 USD phone can have (Example is OnePlus 12R). There's nothing pro about it. You're just advertising a basic feature that every phone should have (above 300 dollars).

                    I understand that people have preferences but bashing a phone because of text bubbles has to be one of the MOST brain-dead decisions I heard. People go as far as saying "Don't text me when you get an iPhone". I don't understand the logic behind it. Some iPhone users are also arrogant; flexing their iPhones from like what, 4-6 years ago and ridiculing someone with an OnePlus 12 or Samsung Galaxy S22/3/4U, which are phones miles better than your bruised up iPhone 10.

                    Overall, Apple is a stingly company, can afford 120hz panels but chooses not to (how does A15 have 90hz but not iPhone 15 or 16?) and they also scam users. To run Final Cut Pro, you need to buy the 200 dollar software, and an extra 200 dollars on more RAM so it can run smoothly. I would just buy a Windows Laptop with a discrete graphics chip.

                      AI generated image looks awful, stick to stock stuff.

                        "Following a huge amount of online backlash, today Apple has changed its mind and revealed that progressive web apps will still be supported even in iOS 17.4 in the EU"

                        Normally, when Apple makes a decision, they tell you to deal with it or get the f*ck out.
                        I guess the backlash was that big that Apple was bullied into changing it back.

                        Anything to keep their fragile sense of control in the tech world.

                          The WHOLE gadget writer community sold Apple's lies, without a concern for their readers. Every single one of you. The only ones we can trust about tech in 2024 is some flippin' politicians in Europe.

                          Who's side are you on, GSM Arena?

                            People need to stop buying apple products. It's not like they are an irreplaceable infrastructure.

                                  "So, progressive web apps will still use Apple's WebKit rendering engine, even if you have picked a default browser that uses its own (support for third party browsers using their own rendering engines is part of the set of measures Apple has to implement in order to comply with the DMA)"

                                  Not sure if you're blind or simply simpleton who can't understand that or maybe you just read the title 🤷🏻‍♂️

                                    Apple got what they wanted. Other browser engines won't be used for PWAs now.

                                      A trick to keep users tied to safari.
