  • Video: iPhone X vs Note 8 - Real World Comparison after 1 month

    irnchrizirnchriz
    Love FaceID, zero issues and only had to put my passcode in after doing updates and I agree that it’s almost like having no passcode on your phone in day to day use.  

    Those sample photos look really bad for the note 8, poor exposure and lacking detail in the sky and on the guys face.  Not to mention the wrong colour of the hooded top he is wearing in the first pic.

  • Proposed Australian law forces tech companies to decrypt customer messages

    irnchrizirnchriz
    That’s fine, Apple can just say, “ok, we will try to crack the encryption of these messages, should get back to you in about 6 billion years once it’s finished”

  • Apple says Spotify 'wants all the benefits of a free app without being free'

    irnchrizirnchriz
    Well said.  It would seem these actions are purely to make Apple look like a bad guy in public, and Spotify the underdog as their complaints will be unlikely to have any traction.  Hopefully the court case against songwriters will get more publicity and show off who Spotify really are, VC bankrolled one trick ponies with a broken business model.

    From the country that instituted Brexit against popular opinion and had an unelected leader that was only in office for a few weeks, who destroyed hundreds of billions of pounds from their economy.
    Either you’re a revisionist or you simple don’t understand how referendums work.

    The vote for Brexit was clear, the majority of the population of the United Kingdom voted for it to happen (17.4M to leave vs 16.1M to remain).

    Yes, Scotland and, to a lesser degree Northern Ireland, voted to remain. However even nearly 40% of the Scots voted to leave which is a fact that the SNP never recognises as they pretend that all of Scotland voted to remain in the EU.

    Was it the right decision? Well, I don’t think we will truly know that for at least another 10 years. None of the  prophetic doom and gloom scenarios ever got close to materialising and the country was always going to be worse off during the initial divorce stage.

    Either way the result of the decision is largely irrelevant, what is relevant is that a democratic vote was taken and was then acted upon (albeit poorly).
    This is how democracy dies. The "democratic vote" was driven by anti-immigrant and racist factions with big megaphones stoking the fires of fear and loathing in the population to the extent that they vote against their own interests.

    Democracy is not about right or wrong - it’s what the majority vote for, no matter how stupid they may be.

    The first Common Market referendum and EEC membership referendum was in 1975 , to gauge support for the country's continued membership of the European Communities (EC) 

    Yes - 17,378,581 Votes (67.23%) - No - 8,470,073 Votes (32.77%)

    So that time (1975) the people voted to stay in then in 2016 another lot of people voted out. I could argue the first lot were manipulated and deceived by fear mongering (the disaster that would occur if the UK left), but that would be unfair.

    Unfortunately this is democracy, other systems have been tried with not really any better results.

    This is NOT democracy. This is subversion of democracy in favor of extremism, nationalism and racism. And it's the the next stop on the road to authoritarianism. Which is the next stop on the road to tyranny. Which is the final stop before the end of the road: tyranny.
    A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

  • Apple will no longer report iPhone, Mac and iPad unit sales

    irnchrizirnchriz
    Probably because share price fluctuates based on number of units sold regardless of profits.  By doing this the only metric they are judged on is profit.

    yes yes, it was intended!
    I banged my head a couple days ago while cleaning my windows.  I can sue Apple for it right? :)
    No, but you could sue Microsoft. Haha

  • Apple now allows classic game emulators on the App Store

    irnchrizirnchriz
    I have retroarch on my iPad Pro, it’s ace.  I loaded it on via Xcode though.  None of the store emulators will have anywhere near the flexibility unfortunately.

  • Hands on: Brydge Pro+ brings a keyboard & trackpad to your iPad Pro

    irnchrizirnchriz
    Their keyboards are decent, but pricey and I'm not a fan of how they connect to the iPad. The touchpad is not great as the basic support for input devices is mouse based so using this with the iPad is a miserable experience.  Save your money and buy a Logitech keyboard and forget the mouse until it is properly supported (unlikely, as mouse support is only a byproduct of supporting assistive devices on the iPad which all emulate mousing input).

  • It wasn't a mistake -- Apple betas are now free

    irnchrizirnchriz
    Installed the betas on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPad Pro M1, Apple Watch Ultra MacBook Pro M1 and Apple TV.  As far as Betas go these are pretty damn stable, likely because there's not really a lot of new stuff this year.

    You know one thing.  The analysts who feed you info, know nothing.  They do know how to sucker sites like this for attention though.  You gullible fools, I hope they pay you.
