  • Apple making display repairs harder on iPhone 13 Pro is a step too far

    Is this an opinion piece? Because it makes zero sense. What this article advocates is for Apple to put it’s customers at risk somthat some bottom feeder random repair shop can service Apple products their way.  🙄🙄🙄 
    What "risk" are you talking about? I have had a lot of third-party repairs to my iPhones all these years, should i be worried?

  • Spotify overheats iPhones on iOS 15, rapidly drains battery

    I think one can "blame" the OS. Now, I'm sure there needs to be a balance between performance and OS overhead, but it seems one role of the OS is to prevent run-away apps sucking the battery.

    This might go back to the basic design of Unix. Unix is not a real-time OS and does not have preemptory capacity that would allow it to cut off applications eating up resources. 

    Without knowing something more, I'd bet that all but specially designed Unix-based OSes have this same problem. 
    Please elaborate. There's no reason the scheduler in iOS couldn't prevent individual apps from using more than a predefined quota. The *nix heritage had nothing to do with this, remember Android is built on top of Linux and in the sector i work we tailor the Linux kernel schedulers all the time (balancing safety, efficiency and foreground app performance).
    What do you mean? Why couldn't Apple do this?

    There is a lot to like and once read, most people should be able to get their heads around why we reached this point. 
    It’s ego. Politicians and bureaucrats think that they know more about medicine than doctors, more about engineering than engineers, more about business than businessmen… more about everything than everyone. 

    And we have a “public school system” owned by the government, run by the government, and staffed by government employees. Critical thinking is discouraged. Students are taught to believe that government employees always know best. If a government fact sheet tells you that everyone should have USB-C chargers, then everyone should have USB-C chargers, because Big Brother knows best…  
    Do you mind letting us know what country you are living in, where the public schools don't encourage critical thinking? I can't recognize this description at all -- on the contrary, schools in Sweden are often criticized for being too much about analyzing and too little about memorizing "hard facts".

  • Fired Apple employee who aired workplace concerns gets approval to sue company

    The speed and seeming duplicity of her dismissal certainly lends weight to such a lawsuit.  I honestly can't understand what Apple thought they were doing with that "not to participate in the discussion" comment; that's a massive point of weakness they've left themselves.

    The termination has every appearance of being motivated by retaliation, and on that basis alone she has a case.
    Apple was being super lenient for what she did, her violations were obvious and they still paid her for months to investigate when it was obvious what she did from day one.

    I don’t think she will ever get hired ever again, she has herself to thank 
    Ok, so what did she do? As far as I understand Apple has not detailed any reason for firing her, so where did you get your information?

  • Security of Quebec vaccine passport app's QR codes questioned

    Anyone who thinks a vaccine passport is a good idea is a very good example of a brainwashed MSM muppet who is not that different than those who were obedient to the Nazis in WWII.

    Brainwashed muppets who don't have the critical thinking skills or the intelligence to even have critical thinking skills.

    Stupid people have taken over.
    So, with your superior intelligence, please enlighten us: what is your idea? How can we solve this?

    (And, the next time, i suggest you avoid using terms like "MSM muppet" at the same time you call me stupid. It kind of has the opposite effect.)
