I don't add "in my opinion" to everything I say because everything I say is my opinion. I'm not wasting keystrokes on clarifying to pedants what they should already be able to discern.

Apple warns developers it will pull apps without recent updates from the App Store
swat671 said:How hard is it to recompile an app? Especially one so old it’s about to get removed any way? If it’s that out of date and you as the developer are not willing to update it, then I’m not willing to use it.
Kind of hard, sometimes. -
Teardown of Apple's new & long Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable highlights why it's so expensive
humbug1873 said:The most scary sentence in that whole article " for creatives working with large amounts of data, ChargerLAB states it may be the best option currently available."
Why is that an acceptable outcome?
When I buy a cable that is supposed to allow for Thunderbolt 4, it should follow the specifications and deliver the expected throughput. If not it's mis-labelled and essentially fraud. We need to stop accepting faulty cables and sue the fraudsters. -
European politicians on the cusp of requiring USB-C in all smartphones

In the free world, companies are allowed to make things that work best for them and see what happens. Customers loved products using the proprietary 30-pin and Lightning interfaces. The market spoke very clearly. iPods and iPhones would have been poorer products had they been forced to use existing-ports only.
Who knows how much of a direct response it was, but it seems likely that there was at least a bit of inspiration. -

lukei said:Great, we have an energy crisis and these clowns want to drive adoption of incredibly inefficient and lossy wireless charging.
Politicians don’t understand tech. Ever.
