All iOS VPNs are worthless and Apple knows it, claims researcher
You have to realize that statement is completely bananas, and several governments and experts feel the same way. They’ve outlined exactly why they think so in comprehensive reports, and they hold much more weight than your opinion which provides no real arguments or insights and lacks any form of expert knowledge.hmlongco said:
Developers need to realize that Apple provides a service, platform, and store on which they can sell their wares to over a billion people. They need to to grow up and stop expecting something for nothing.BeDifferent said:They also care more about self-righteous posturing & fleecing third-party developers. Apple needs to grow up and b stop being morally bankrupt.
Also the above has nothing to do with the article, which is about a huge bug in VPN that affects people all around the world who feel safe but aren’t.

Telegram CEO claims Apple is delaying update that will 'revolutionize' messaging
Yeah, let's be with the multi-trillion dollar tech giant without questioning them!JP234 said:Sounds like Telegram wants Apple to post its app on the store immediately without due diligence. Apple says, "hard pass."
I'm with Apple. I want anything I might download on the App Store to have gone through the entire process of review and approval/rework/denial. Who knows in advance what malicious code or unauthorized API the developer might put in that app? This is how domestic and foreign actors gain access to your data for sale. And how they get into businesses and hold their systems for ransom.

Telegram CEO claims Apple is delaying update that will 'revolutionize' messaging
These app developers are right. As a game developer who created over 20 games on the app store (often tied to theatrical releases) I can only applaud these developers protesting. It's time this gets addressed. Apple's become a shit company with good hardware. -
Twitter sues Elon Musk for backing out of $44 billion merger
It depend under which circumstances.netrox said:If Elon Musk asked for bot account and Twitter failed to provide that, then I don't see how it's illegal or how he can be sued.
It's same with buying a house, a buyer want to have the house inspected and all questions answered before full purchase begins. If the seller fail to provide everything the buyer ask for, the seller has no right to sue.
If he came up with this demand as part of the agreement (“there must be no more than x% bot accounts or this short-form purchase agreement is void without penalties”) then he should be fine.
If he introduced this demand after the initial agreement, then he’s in trouble.It would be the same thing as signing to purchase a car within the next 30 days and then suddenly demand that the seller needs to prove that the car should at least run 500 miles on a tank of gas.Regardless of the car’s ability or reasonable expectation to do so, it is something you’d had to put in writing on as part of the purchase contract.What if the car actually would run 500 miles, and suddenly you’d posed yet another demand that the seats should be able to recline 80 degrees?
What if you’d introduce these demands knowing that the car isn’t able to do those things, just so you can talk your way out of it?With a merger/acquisition normally you discuss a due diligence phase that happens before the actual purchase (and is done after a letter of intent or short form agreement). This due diligence phase could take a long time in some cases and contain clauses with roles and responsibilities for both companies. It’s like test driving the car and asking a mechanic to look under the hood to see if it’s a healthy car. This happens both ways: the seller would check out the buyer in a similar fashion.
Also, consider the below:https://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/explained-how-elon-musk-twitter-bid-may-have-been-a-smokescreen-to-liquidate-tesla-stocks-10896291.html/amp
I think it’s actually a money grab by Tesla (see above link).tshapi said:I think this is a money grab by twitter. See, musk has claimed he doesn’t believe that twitter is being honest about the # of bots. And it appears that twitter is simply pointing to there public SEC filing as proof that there really is only 5% bots.I also find it interesting that jack dorsey is quiet through all this. He’s allegedly musks ally in this, he created twitter and it’s my understanding that he was still an active part of the
Company.As I said uptop. This is a money grab. When Elon made the offer, the main reason it was accepted is because the investors got a financial offer that was hard for them to pass up.I also think it’s possible that this is a war between Elon musk and the current CEO who doesn’t want to lose his job.A good sale opportunity to Twitter is not a ‘money grab’ (assuming the word has a negative connotation) by Twitter especially because they did not seek to be bought. Musk offered to buy.
Jack Dorsey is quiet because it is professional. A CEO doesn’t move a purchase dispute onto a public forum. It’s unprofessional and dangerous.
Twitter however did officially respond (on Twitter), and as it should be in these specific situations, it comes from the board of directors.

How gaming on the Mac is getting better with macOS Ventura
Lackluster. Apple needs to be serious and acquire larger gaming studios. Have exclusive titles. Spend cash like they do with their film production endeavors.Rebrand and update the Apple TV to Apple Home and equip it with an M2 Pro. Package it with a controller and keep pricing sub-$500. Assume to lose money on the hardware, win through content and services.
