  • It’s probably just meant to be for people that wouldn’t watch the animated series under any circumstance.

    I’ve never watched One Piece the anime (yet) and I keep putting it off because of how fucking long it is. I don’t know how faithful the Netflix adaptation is, but I enjoyed it a lot; so much that I might finally start watching the anime.

    I don’t expect those of us who like the animated Avatar to enjoy the live-action adaptation as much, but there are surely people who will, and they’re probably the ones this is for.

  • Although we have surely become more comfortable with cameras around us more often, if I remember correctly what freaked people out was that there wasn’t a visible indicator when Google Glass was recording.

    Had Google added a tiny red LED next to the camera, it would’ve been different.

  • Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever

    Jump

  • That part of my comment was a bit of an hyperbole tbh, but it’s also true that Apple just slaps the “Pro” moniker to their most expensive tier without always making them deserve it.

    Before the iPhone 15 Pro series, there wasn’t really much “pro” in the Pro models. Same with the iPad Pro, sure they’re way nicer and higher end, but hardly anything “pro” about them.

    And don’t get me started with the new baseline 14 inch MacBook Pro, with a regular M3 and 8GB of RAM.

  • Disclaimer: I’m in no way trying to defend Apple here.

    Saying that X amount of RAM (or any other component spec for that matter) is not enough for a “Pro” computer is not really a universal truth or something, you can’t compare people running multiple instances of Docker with people doing photo editing or web dev for example.

    Either of those can be “Pros” within their field, their hardware requirements doesn’t make them professionals or enthusiasts. I know I’m being a bit tangential here, but arguing about the “correct” spec por a Pro computer has always irked me.

    That being said, I agree it’s ridiculous that Apple is shipping $1K+ computers with merely 8GB of RAM. Also, it’s known that Apple’s “pro” devices most of the time just mean they’re just their most expensive tier. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • My bet is that is Apple comments at all, they will talk about closing a security vulnerability rather than cutting off android users.

    Aaaand you were right!

  • Apple cuts off Beeper Mini’s access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android

    Jump

  • Yep; different circumstances though.

    Beeper Mini was shut down by Apple, which allegedly identified the requests from Beeper Mini and terminated access to its servers.

    Nothing Chat/Sunbird, on the other hand, was shut down from themselves, because they were caught mishandling user information. The method itself was not shut down, rather they discontinued their own implementation. (Fwiw, Beeper has a similar implementation on another product of theirs, which remains functional as far as I know. )

  • Isn’t it funny that every tech commenter was like “Apple would have to re-engineer their whole iMessage stack if they want to cut off access to Beeper Mini”?

  • There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works

    Jump

  • If I understand correctly, there’s some server usage implicated in the delivering of notifications, so it makes sense that it costs.

    That and the fact that it’s a for-profit company expecting to be paid for their product.

  • I read somewhere that RE for the sake of improving communications is allowed, or something along those lines.

  • The History and Future of Digital Ownership

    Jump

  • There’s a case to be made about “buying” digital media and being able to keep the file in your local storage, that way it wouldn’t cost anything to the publisher when you play the content.

    I understand the piracy implications, but most of the content is pirated anyway regardless of DRM, so the only ones affected are those who actually pay for content.

  • Apple is the most profitable tech company in the world, they should be able to get more talent to allocate to work on both stability and new features, is not like they’re a small startup short on money.

  • That’s what I mean, would you say iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari don’t share a good chunk of their codebase?

  • I have many Apple devices across pretty much all of their categories, that doesn’t stop me from being very vocal when in disagree with them.

    Being an Apple user, heck an Apple fan, doesn’t mean that you have to applaud every single thing the company does and never disagree.
