Apple says hidden Safari setting led to flawed Consumer Reports MacBook Pro battery tests
It is wonderful how so many people here are bashing CR. CR used the same testing methodology and ranked the past MB models high. CR also used the same methodology for all other laptops without this kind of jarring finding.
Reasonably, users other than web developers would not turn this option on. But they would not reload the same page ten thousand times before the battery dies either. This setting is just to mimic a use case when the user is browsing different websites, and is completely fair since CR uses it across all laptops.
Apple admitted it is a bug in Safari that cause the fluctuation, but people are blaming CR for using the browser wrong. To me, apple fanboys are saying when CR recommends MBs it is trustworthy, when it does not it is crap.

iOS 14 leaks are proof why there should never be an encryption backdoor
bulk001 said:I am in total agreement that there should be no backdoors. With one exception - if it could help save my wife or kid’s life or heaven for it, bring their killer to justice. And their lies the rub. I don’t trust politicians or government agencies to be able to resist temptation to expand a back door or keep it safe.

Reddit app 'Apollo' is shutting down over Reddit's expensive API prices
bakerzdosen said:I can't see anyone who has been paying attention that's surprised by this.
Reddit has said they don't want to shut down 3rd party client apps, but they also just want to be paid for the infrastructure they have built and maintain.I see both sides of this story, but considering how chatty Apollo is with Reddit's API, this was one of only three possible outcomes:• Reddit caves on their pricing demands
• Apollo shuts down
• Apollo is re-written to be more efficient in its communication.
The protest is supposed to accomplish the first point [narrator: it won't], and the developer has said the third point wasn't really feasible, so... surprise! We get option 2.
So users suffer and Reddit gets a black eye. But the internet has a really short memory
The main issue though, is that Reddit gave the dev a month from announcing the new rate before starting to pay at the rate. There's no chance a dev can roll out a significantly more efficient version in a month. -
