  • iCloud lawsuit fails over misunderstanding of storage tiers

    sflocalsflocal
    This was nothing more than a fishing-expedition for some pond-scum lawyer looking for a quick-buck.  Had the "victim" won, the next step would be an immediate cash-grab by the lawyer and file a class-action lawsuit where the big money is.

    It's crap like this is why we have volume-sized TOS agreements and warning-stickers on plastic bags.

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

    sflocalsflocal
    Developers like them give us all a bad rap.  When I'm looking for an app, if I see it hasn't been touched for seven years, I dismiss it right then and there.  This developer is just being lazy and would rather kick-and-scream and claim a faux-outrage than recompile their app.  I'm just so sick of these developers that have some elite belief that they have the standing to tell Apple what to do with Apple's hardware and software.  Screw them.

    Recompile your app, make the necessary changes to compile, and get up and current will all the security updates that the new OS provides.  It's downright silly to hear these whiners as of late.  You're more than welcome to go to Android if you feel the CLOSED Apple ecosystem is being to harsh on you.

    Apple's devotion is to USERS, not developers.  Grow up.

  • A19 chip could match Qualcomm's best, but Apple may lean toward power savings instead

    This reminds me of the tests between MacBooks and Windows laptops.  The windows laptops are almost (or slightly faster) than MacBooks, but chokes completely when on battery only.

    Performance means nothing on a mobile phone if it means destroying the unit's battery life.
    A YouTuber I watch did this but did not do any testing with the laptops unplugged. I wish he would have. The fans on the Windows laptop were already screaming almost constantly while the MacBook Pro was dead quiet.
    I see this often and irritates the hell out of me.  I get that many people buy a laptop for use as a desktop thus, leaves it plugged in all the time.  I for one still think a laptop is meant for mobility thus, battery life - and performance with battery - is an important metric.  That these YouTubers don't do that I think just shows their bias.

    That these YouTubers dismiss the fans running at full-speed making the laptop sound like a jet turbine while the MacBook is silent is truly shameful.
