A new bill will try to stop big tech from preferring its own services over rivals
Depends. Do people go into Walmart looking for non-Walmart services? That's what this bill addresses.beowulfschmidt said:Are they going to make Walmart take down all the ads for their own services in their own stores?
The Law of Unintended Consequences is a thing.

Netgear has a new $1,500 Wi-Fi 6e mesh router
Because most people don't have the stack of networking certifications needed to properly install and configure Meraki and Unifi equipment. They are NOT user-friendly and most of the advanced options are only accessible via command line. No thanks.elijahg said:Not sure why anyone would pay such an absurd amount for this from what is a pretty poorly regarded networking company - when you could get a prosumer solution from a professional networking company like Cisco (Meraki) or Ubiquiti (Unifi) for 1/4 the price; companies with actual networking expertise who write their own network stack with excellent UIs, reliability, security and updates for 5 years+. Or you could get an overpriced Netgear box with a generic version of Linux underneath and a crap GUI that doesn't work properly ontop with 6 months of software support for $1500.
I had Ubiquiti UAC-AC-PRO's (multiple) in my house for years. Junk. Nothing but trouble (slow, would stop passing traffic, poor range). Replaced with TP-Link Deco and never looked back. Deco (in the words of Apple) "just works".

iPadOS 15 confirms Apple's M1-equipped iPad Pro is a V8 engine powering a Ford Pinto
"Out of the gate"? iPadOS 14.5 was what was on the iPad Pro M1 out of the gate. To be honest, what I saw on WWDC should have been iPadOS 14.6.AppleZulu said:So Apple releases expensive hardware with obvious capacity for future expansion of operating system capabilities, and the complaint is that the OS doesn’t max out the hardware out of the gate. Got it.Of course, if iPadOS already took full advantage of the capabilities of the M1 model, there would be much louder complaints about how last year’s pre-M1 hardware has been rendered obsolete so quickly by OS features the pre-M1 devices can’t handle.
When there is a major version number change, I expect big changes. iPadOS 15 has been in the works for quite a while. Apple had plenty of time to design it to utilize the power of the M1 platform. Instead we get pretty much nothing. I think that is the point being made here.

So when you buy software for your desktop computer and want to also install it on your laptop for when you're on-the-road, do you consider that ability to be a "freebie"? Most software licenses allow install on both (but run on only one at a time), so that same rule applies here. Install on your Mac and also install on your iPad (which, by the way is the same processor so really is exactly like the desktop/laptop install scenario) using the same single purchase is not considered a "freebie".foregoneconclusion said:
That's one vote for "freebie".rcfa said: Likely neither. Apple itself pushes “universal apps” where one license, for one price, installs on both macOS and i(Pad)OS.

Zoom seemingly granted access to private iPad camera API
"pilot testing" a feature on the #1 video conferencing app used by millions of people for business and students for school, during a pandemic? Hardly...jungmark said:It’s called pilot testing new features. You need real world results but you don’t want to release to everyone yet. My company does that internally with many ERP feature upgrades.
