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.

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!

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”?

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.

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.

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.

Usually a newer phone would equal more future proofing, however its worth noting that iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 have virtually the same SoC.

See the other reply in the post. It’s possible to do the same on iOS 17.

Holy shit it works!!!

Thank you very much. I was really bummed out thinking the feature had been removed.

Fwiw, sticking with Lightning for so long made all the sense in the world from a business perspective.

Why would they willingly let go all the money they received from the MFi fees?

To be fair, they said they’re ditching the leather products because of how much water they need to be produced compared to non-leather options.

Your sacrifice is appreciated, mate.

Having more SKUs is harder and more expensive to maintain; they will sell the inclusion of USB-C as a way to unify their charger across their platforms and to add Thunderbolt to the Pro models.

Funnily enough, I don’t think there are any visible Apple logos in the AirPods Max.

You’re saying there’s a 3rd party Lemmy client named “Not Poop 3D” being developed as we speak?

Or the jolly rancher guy.

I believe it’s a matter of being in the same platform as controversial content.

In the end they’re paying Twitter to display their ads, and if Twitter allows questionable content to be in their platform, the companies are indirectly supporting it.

I think you hit the nail. Although other members also read from the teleprompter at some point (such as Linus), Terren was doing it awkwardly the whole time, you can tell he’s not used to be in front of a camera.
