  • Developer angry that App Store is removing game that hasn't been updated in 7 years

    "Why would anyone use an old program that hasn't been updated? Playing a game like Half Life? That hasn't gotten any updates in like 2 decades. It shouldn't be sold anymore because it's old." -Tim Cook appparently

  • Apple celebrates 20 years of podcasts with a list of fan favorites

    The show that got bought by Spotify for hundreds of millions isn't on here, but the show whose largest episode with presidential candidate Kamala Harris is still under a million views on YouTube is on the list?

    What an irrelevant list

  • Apple hikes Apple One cost by up to $5 as most services prices rise

    iCloud storage can KMA: a Genius Bar agent reset my phone and after that it lost everything despite the fact that I was paying 2.99/mo for 50gb. Since then I switched to the 99¢ version because imho it’s just not worth it. Also a network reset recommended by AT&T deleted all of my WiFi signins last week and they haven’t been recovered and restored. I think that as a natural order of business, iPhones should unlock themselves from the carrier exclusivities automatically after 6 months has passed.
    The price has always been $.99 for 50GB. What were you paying $2.99 for because that wasn't iCloud. And yes, a network reset resets all your network settings. Your Wi-Fi passwords won't return. You have to enter them again. 

    To restore a phone through iCloud you need to have backed up the phone to iCloud.

  • For the first time, Linux gamers outnumber Mac in Steam's game census

    As much as I enjoy my Mac for desktop usage with how fast and quiet it is, it just isn’t good for gaming. About 1/4th of my total steam library is available on MacOS, less than my Steam Deck with Proton. Some games I can’t play because they’re 32 bit. The only real thing I played on it was World of Warcraft, but my PC handles it much better and I can play my entire library on it, so I do. 
    Apple needs to learn that their token features every WWDC about some big game that’s 4 years old finally coming to Mac “later this year” isn’t enough for developers to care.

  • Apple tiptoes onto Threads -- but hasn't fully embraced it yet

    Apple should look at Mastodon or Spoutible instead of that horrible company.
    You advertise where people are.
    Fediverse does not have enough people to jump on it instead of something pushed by Meta that easily connects to your Instagram account with one easily accessible app.
    Look a the ease of use for finding people on Threads, you just need to know their @, while on the Fediverse you need to know which instance someone is on and hope your instance federates with theirs, or make a new account on that instance.
    So your ability to advertise on the Fediverse is impossible without making thirty thousand accounts across the various instances that have popped up. Good luck trying to create a cohesive brand strategy and presence on that.
