In other news, Apple commands a near-100% market share of macOS and iOS systems.

Console and PC players constantly bad mouth iOS as a gaming platform, yet it makes more money from of games. Doh!

iOS is a fine gaming platform and iPhones/iPads can be great gaming devices (especially with a controller.)

Unfortunately so many mobile games are "free to play" with obnoxious monetization schemes (slot-machine/gacha mechanics, pay to win, energy systems, in-game currency that you buy with real money, intrusive advertisements, surprise paywalls, etc..)

I don't expect this to change since the schemes work and take in tons of money, and full-price games are a harder sell on mobile since they have to compete with "free."

Apple reportedly patched the file:// but failed to block other iterations of the prefix like File:// or fIle://, meaning would-be attackers can easily bypass the built-in safeguards. The tech giant also failed to assign the bug a CVE designation, according to Minchan.

As a developer I find it difficult to comprehend that other variations weren't tested...

100% agree.  More so that the person assigned to fix this vulnerability didn’t think to do a caseless comparison.  

Without Steve Jobs around and with Mr. Emoji “Cook” in the helm, Apple has become crap. Very little innovation, considering the amount of people they employ and the sad part is, it’s more about stroking Media than innovation, I can nearly everything the iPhone does in an android for half the price.  So no, I’m not at all surprised that this happened and it will continue to happen under Cook. 

Complete bollocks. Jobs was also at the helm when Apple made major screwups and he was also responsible for plenty of them. And most people here haven't got a single clue about 'innovation'. Apple has done A TON of 'innovation' in the past years. But just because it doesn't fit your view of shiny new things it's not? Laughable.

I tend to agree: Apple Watch and AirPods, for example, are two products that instantly transformed their respective categories; HomePod stumbled (remember Jobs' iPod Hi-Fi?) and AirPower never actually shipped, but HomePod mini was successful, and the iPhone does support wireless charging. But it's Apple Silicon and the M1 Macs in particular that have stunned the industry and completely transformed expectations regarding performance, heat dissipation, and battery life.

They lost me at "subscription."

If this applies to you, you'll want to discuss either converting an existing Type 1 font to an OpenType or TrueType format or creating or licensing a new font altogether. 
.....
We do not recommend that you convert third-party fonts to OpenType/TrueType formats, as this likely violates the end-user license agreement. 

EULAs say lots of absurd things, but forbidding users from fixing broken fonts that they purchased seems particularly insulting.
