Alexei Navalny is right, of course, but it's ultimately up to Russian citizens to overthrow Putin, if they can. Apple, Google, the US, and NATO aren't going to take out a dictatorship superpower. Maybe after Vlad is dead, there will be actual electi…

These look nice. I'm a little concerned about the weird extra vent shelf under the Surface Laptop Studio. The design is nice where you convert from a laptop to a tablet, but that results in a VERY thick tablet. C'mon, Intel or Qualcomm, one of you c…

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: Developers go where the fun is and iOS is just not fun to develop for any more thanks to Apple's restrictions. It's like programming with handcuffs on. I develop for iOS because I make a good living at it AND it’s fu…

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: It's just not an exciting new platform for apps any more. Early on we (developers) thought iOS had almost unlimited potential for groundbreaking new apps. At first that was true but over time Apple placed crushing re…

Wow, those are really low numbers. If true, it means that a couple times this year, I was the developer of 1% of new Mac App Store apps. Also note that review times for Mac apps is almost instantaneous. I recall submitting a few updates lately that …

For always putting on a tough-guy act, Putin is just a little sissy crybaby. Poor little Vlad. Boo hoo. Wah wah! Where's your binky? Is your diaper full? Little baby Putin. He just wants to be loved by someone who's not psycho or feeble-minded.

I imagine this will inspire people who have those types of images to either delete them all or move to Android. And I assume Google will implement the same checks at some point so they don't become known as that type of platform. (Maybe they already…

If Apple releases a Mac Pro with Intel inside in 2022, it means existing Intel Mac users will continue to get OS updates for several more years. Sounds good. I expect that someday Apple will have an M-series chip faster than the fastest Xeons, but i…

I'd say Apple owes Bah a ton of money, a car, and free Apple devices for life. What a nightmare! What a black eye for Apple!

Slightly off-topic, but I use Skype for a class I teach, and one of my student's latency results in a 5-second-delay echo that is making the app unusable. Zoom has no issue with his latency, and I wish Microsoft would fix Skype. Next week, we may be…

mfryd said:I have a custom DOS application written in 1990 that still runs on a modern Intel Windows machine. That is truly impressive. You're right, no Mac apps from 1990 could possibly work on an M1 except in an emulator.

My delay was I'm switching from Cocoa to Catalyst for my macOS apps. It's a lot of work. I think I've figured everything out now, but the learning curve is long. For one thing, Xcode 12 GUI doesn't support building for both macOS 10.15 (Intel) and 1…

Good for Google doing the right thing. And I think Apple should exactly match Google's plan -- charge 15% on the first $1 million each year (for all developers), then 30% on revenue above that. Apple's current Small Business Program is too complicat…

Xed said: I wonder how man devs here with DTK are actually complaining. My guess is that these are people who not only don't have the DTK but likely aren't even devs with apps on the App Store. You would be astonished how many apps I have…

scruffysandra said: I don't get it. These developers LEASED it for $500, agreeing to the requirement to return the hardware. Apple shouldn't have had to give a credit to get it back. If anything, there should have been a penalty for NOT r…

Xed said: Apple only ever gets money from you once every 5 years? If I were Apple I wouldn't give you a fucking dime back for your Mac mini lease. Apple gets money from my apps every single day, possibly every hour of every day.

EsquireCats said: What dearly coddled morons. I've fine with Apple cutting the lease short. They should compensate developers for the shortened lease. A $200 coupon sent AFTER the return of the unit is useless though. Devs need the co…

MplsP said: I wasn't aware that the A12 Minis were leased, but essentially you are charging close to the price of a new computer ($500 vs $700) for one year's worth of use... And Apple is asking for them back early, 7 months into the lease…
