Electron on macOS is garbage - there will be plenty of people who move away from 1password because it’ll simply be unusably resource intensive, it won’t even be about sending a message. Considering how many people at Apple use it, I won’t be surpr…

I wrote my message in direct response to you crowley as you made an argument likening group chat to social media. While there are people on these forums who blindly support Apple, there are a far greater numbers of people in these forums who are bli…

While some social media platforms include chat features between individuals or to a group, this isn't what defines a social media platform. In much the same way that a conference call isn't social media. Calling such platforms social media requires …

Plenty of watches have flat/squared edges (e.g. chamfer edge designs), but this render is a pretty unattractive visualisation. The gorgeous square iPad edges aren't well suited to a device that will be pressed against the skin. Apple could definite…

Is there a reasonable rationale for Apple not being entitled to the commission?

crypto currency prices have skyrocketed and plummetedAs have share prices (both recently and historically) which are usually tied to superannuation, thus having a real impact on livelihoods. This seems more like identifying cryptocurrencies as a thr…

Meanwhile making up lies* and spreading them far and wide in the press... sounds like bullying. * 1. 30%: Not a single Spotify subscriber pays 30%. 2. "Fair treatment", when specifically asking for special treatment, while also stealing the 15% dis…

Spotify's advertising says that Spotify HiFi is CD-quality. Which will make it the lowest quality of all of the lossless audio providers on the market by a significant margin. How exciting it is to 'upgrade' to the sound quality of 1982.

A large problem is google’s privacy policy is intentionally vague and full of misdirection - you have a better clue about what information google is collecting from the app store than you do from google’s own privacy policy.

No such thing as a free-ride. Forced changes to how the app store is run will certainly less to changes in how developers pay for their app to be present on the store. Currently this is an annual fee, but it’s trivial to charge by usage and customer…

Combined light/speaker systems aren't a new idea, but I've always found them a curiosity to who the buyer might be. Consumers: It takes the audio system from a space where there is ample room (living area) and places it somewhere there typically is…

Literally walk into any independent mobile phone store in the UK/Ireland and there will be counterfeit apple-branded chargers, earpods and cables.
