As an app developer for both Android and iOS I can only say that from a developer perspective the App store is a monopoly for the distribution of my iOS apps. I am 100% OK that Apple define technical requirements for the iOS apps and that there is…

Beats said: 6.7% Apple is doing great but terrible by Apple standards. I wonder if Apple Silicon Macs will help bump that number to at least 10%. Of course they're probably making 50% of profits. The 50% of the profits is nothing but wis…

For the software company I own, the main question is: can the new Macs run Docker images at (almost) native speed. The documents are not 100% clear, but point in the wrong direction. Which basically means that 2020 will be the year we stop buying…

I own a software company which develops iOS and Android apps (and other things). I've done business with the EU commission, so I know a little how the EU commission thinks and operates. 1) The EU commission is looking at this from the ap…

fastasleep said: Here's something I don't understand. Why does Apple's 2FA send a login notice and code to the same device you're trying to log into something with (ie your iCloud or Apple Support account etc). Doesn't that defeat the purpose…

baylab said: 4G is just as fast as 5G in the non-mmWave implementations. No it is not. In a saturated network (think of city centers), non-mm wave 5G is about 3 times faster than 4G. And more importantly it has a much smaller latency,…

SpamSandwich said: Oh, brother. Private property means the company/owner sets the rules. It’s not possible to violate antitrust laws when there are more competitors serving an arguably bigger market on the Android side. Yes, Apple is leaps a…
