    That's the right thing, users should be able to choose.
    I don't think it would harm Apple really hard, but it would bring freedom to the platform.
    When Apple allows third party app stores, it could be done with maintaining the iOS security model (only app review is done by another company).

    Are you going to indemnify Apple for a bad app review that is done by another company from that store.

  • HBO Max ditches tvOS API for homegrown solution, chaos ensues

    I wounder if Directv has anything to do with this. If you have Directv and HBO, you can get HBO Max stream on a tv that has Chromecast without cost..

    Fact check: true.

    macs suck at games. And that is because of decisions made by Apple.

    that said, I love the smell of intel panic in the morning.

    Never been a problem for me. I just boot into windows natively and play all the PC games.

  • Apple currently limiting M1 iPad Pro apps to 5GB RAM each

    Per the internet, it sounds like the next version of iPadOS will likely eliminate the 5GB only barrier.

    Or give you a choice so you can set the limit would be nice.

    I’m disappointed Apple didn’t roll out an App Store like iOS.

    People called me different names for suggesting the new M1 Mac software should be treated like iPhones App Store and said “PCs have always allowed software via web” as if moving forward was a bad idea.
    Actually they did, with the Mac App Store. Not very successful as many apps outside of Apple’s own, weren’t  there for various reasons, the main one being Apple’s 30% cut. 

    Drivers for cards like fiber optics you will not find in the app sore. You will not find all of Adobe or Avid there to. A lot of Pro broadcast apps are not in the store.
    Hardware drivers are not "apps" (even though some crappy hardware packages installs apps you probably don't want or need).  

    You provide no evidence to support that some Adobe & Avid titles are not in macOS App Store due to the 30% cut - that was the poster's argument.

    You do need an app to flash and manage the driver.  My point is a lot of apps are not in the app store because those apps support hardware not made by Apple but are used in a MacPro.
