  • Spotify, Epic complain again that Apple won't be in compliance with the DMA

    I have made a few Fortnight skins and recorded some music. I demand that they allow me to let people side load my content into their ecosystem without paying them.

  • Dual SIM iPhone 12 users may not get 5G speeds

    "Dual SIM users of the iPhone 12 range will have to disable their SIM or eSIM to get 5G data." How hard is it to turn the eSim on and off?

  • Students failing college AP test due to unsupported HEIC iPhone photo format

    My kid took a couple AP exams this week, and I panicked when I read the article. I asked him about it. His school told him to change the format before submitting. In other words, this was a known "issue" ahead of time, and students should have been instructed by the College Board and their teachers on a workaround. 

    Turns out, they were told by the College Board ahead of time: In the email that I got (as a parent), it explains the problem with HEIC. 

    As for submission feedback on the website, I completely agree. That's an easy add to the submission site. College Board really dropped the ball. To be fair, they only had a couple months to completely change AP testing to online.

  • The TextBlade keyboard is superb, but you'll have to be patient

    Thanks for posting our responses Mims.  It helps clarify how we endeavored to address your questions.
    But you did fail and continue to fail to answer the main question that I had: When will the product ship?
    I'm pretty sure that is because they can't be confident enough about a specific date. And, considering the many discovered issues, that makes sense.

    But it was nevertheless interesting to see they took the time to write lengthy responses, answered a number of questions, and were cordial about it.
    Thanks for your thoughts, Kahuna, but they have given specific dates. It started when I ordered in 2015. It would ship in March (I think - I'm too lazy to look). Then for every month for about a year, they would quietly change the shipping date. Then it changed to every quarter. When they changed the date from July 2015 to August 2015, did they really think there was any chance they could make that deadline? Given that we are 4 years out, I find that highly improbable. If that's the case, then that's dishonest. 

    They were very cordial, but they never answered my question only to imply that if I waited just a bit longer, I would have a TextBlade. Remember, you got yours. You paid $99 and if nothing else happens, you got what you paid for. I got nothing, but if you read the emails from my perspective, tell me why I shouldn't be upset? Tell me why anyone who is not in the TREG group should believe that they will ever get the product? We've seen pictures of product. We've seen blog posts about TextBlades being used far and wide. Why are the very first orderers not part of the TREG? 

    Also, beyond getting one TextBlade, has the company given YOU - dabigkahuna - anything else? ANYTHING of value. There are rumors that some of you are getting more for your continued support. Please put that rumor to rest.
