No India tariff deal means Apple will face iPhone import fees eight times higher than befo...
JamesCude said:Quick show of hands: how many red hats are itching to assemble phones for below minimum wage in sweat shop conditions? I’ll wait…- Those who will never have to work a day in their lives, aside from for whatever compan(ies) they inherited. So this argument means nothing to them.
- Those who operate from a place of emotion (typically fear), not rationality. So rational arguments like this are completely lost on them.

Lose yourself in an astoundingly beautiful and absorbing history of macOS settings

I'm not feeling confident about the upcoming OS (iPhone and Mac).
I too like the control panel stuff, but CDEV and INIT wrangling sucked very badly, and pre OS X OSes crashed a lot. This all said, I stuck with OS9 until 10.2.I did like Snow Leopard, though.
For myself, being in the midst of a computing science degree, learning about advancements in operating system technology like the Mach kernel and working with rock solid Sun Solaris machines in our labs (SPARCstations), I was super excited for Rhapsody (Mac OS X) after reading a technical article about it. Mac OS 9 felt like it was still stuck in the 1980s when you looked at it under the hood and had to deal with all the weird quirks from bygone eras (zapping the PRAM???). Though obviously it was still far better than Windows.
The TiBook was the first Mac I ever owned and it ran Mac OS X from day 1.

Car makers reject CarPlay Ultra as an Apple overreach
robin huber said:sflagel said:it is ludicrous for a car manufacturer to give Apple access to all its car systems, which will invariably lead to Apple becoming the gatekeeper to the entire tech stack of a car. This in addition to the branding impact. CarPlay is not the end of evolution, for example, the music app is well on CarPlay. Audi music controls are much better. -
Adobe hikes Creative Cloud prices with a rebrand no one asked for
danthephotoman said:It is my understanding the price increase is to pay for the intense computing needed for some of the advanced AI features. This is a revolutionary change in the way we create. I'm not sure why they should be free. I think a lot of people will pay extra for revolutionary features. -
Adobe hikes Creative Cloud prices with a rebrand no one asked for
inkling said:If what you need is an equivalent of Adobe's Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, check out what Affinity offers. One option is apps for all platforms—Mac, Windows and iPad—for a one-time payment of $164.99. No subscription cost. That's about what Adobe charges for a couple of months rent.

I had the problem recently where I couldn't get Pixelmator to export to .ai format (guessing this disappeared when Apple bought them). So I tried exporting to PDF, but it wouldn't preserve the layers when the print house opened the file in Illustrator. Even though reopening the PDF in Pixelmator showed the layers just fine. Smells like there's Adobe lock-in, and so I'm wondering if Affinity figured out a way around it.
