Apple forces Patreon to pay 30% of new memberships sold through iOS
I'm perfectly happy to defend the 30% commission on app sales because the app store is a retailer so the 30% is nothing more than the traditional markup on a wholesale price. just like every other retailer has.
I'm also ok with charging that 30% in-app purchase on games since the content is a part of the app and is still being downloaded via apple and not the app owner's servers.
This is different though and i *despise* nickel and dimeing iOS users like this. Once you've downloaded the Patreon app no further content is downloaded via Apple's servers except for app updates. I have no idea why anybody at Apple thinks it's okay to take a 30% commission on a Cameo message to my grandma from Steve Guttenberg just because i requested it in the app and not on the Cameo website? A 30% cut on magazine subscriptions? nope nope nope. the content doesn't go through apple so they don't have a right to it.

The best Thunderbolt docks for your Mac or MacBook Pro
i’m still trying to figure out why nobody builds a simple TB / USB C hub to replace USB hubs… TB to host and then 7 or more ports of USB 3.2 (10Gb) with a USB C connector would suit my needs just fine.
i don’t need to run multiple monitors with it. i don’t need ethernet. i don’t need audio ports. i don’t need SD card slots. i don’t need to charge a laptop with it.
i have enough cables at this point with USB C that i don’t even need USB A support.
this really shouldn’t be a big ask and definitely shouldn’t he a $200+ device.
if anybody has seen something that resembles what i’m talking about i’d love to hear about it. so far all i’ve seen is 4 USB C ports at 10Gb… or more ports at just 5Gb and not all USB C -
Tesla wants Apple's help to beat Autopilot death lawsuit
feels like this guy should have gotten a darwin award considering he reported this autopilot behavior as being dangerous yet continued to use autopilot on the same stretch of road with autopilot active.
999 times out of 1000 i’ll probably side with whoever is accusing tesla of something bad, but this is that 1/1000 for me. dude literally knew better than to trust autopilot there and got yeeted into a wall at 71mph for it. -
External drive support in macOS Sonoma is partially broken, and it's probably Apple's faul...
funny thing is that i had a similar issue under sonoma where i couldn’t mount an external cd drive. the system was throwing up a dialog asking permission to use the device but it was only onscreen for a blink so i couldn’t approve. to ge it to work i had to turn off that security feature
maybe it’s something similar. maybe it’s not. -
