There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

Is it easy to get a copy of their dataset?

There are hosting providers that offer unmetered bandwidth.

Sure, setup complexity is higher, but it is definitely doable.

I have thought about such a project as I also have access to relatively inexpensive 20gbps fiber, but lack the funding currently to do it.

Maybe one day…

Wayland works with NVIDIA cards though.

If I had to watch ads, I would not use youtube. Period.

I saw a popup once, refreshed and it was gone. 🤣

This. Lots of health plans don’t even have copays anymore thanks to COVID.

For me, things were pretty easy/quick to set up, and the benefit? Lower electric bills. More convenience.

They bought a bunch of assets that didn’t work well together, made a poor attempt to make them work together, and released a buggy half-finished game…oh and the hame was completely different from what they said they were working on.

I did like the gameplay loop, however.

No, it is completely misleading because:

1. this change will not impact a single developer outside the EU.

2. Any developer not using a third party app store will also not be affected.

3. You can still build free apps and literally nothing changes assuming you use Apple’s app store.

Like I said, it is a shit policy, but for nearly all developers nothing changes.

The video’s thumbnail said Apple is killing free apps. That is a complete lie. There is not an ounce of truth to it.

Nobody said this is a great policy. I was just pointing out the garbage level reporting of it by folks like the author.

In other words, if they actually didn’t care they would not have bothered to make a statement at all.

Keep in mind that Apple is a **competitor ** to netflix.

Such a clickbait-y headline I am not going to watch it.

Free apps aren’t changing in anyway.

The tl;dr is that for developers using the app store, nothing changes. Developers wishing to not use the app store have to agree to a new fee structure.

Apple, as expected, intends to make up for lost profits by charging more money.

If you are outside the EU none of this matters to you.

Note that I am not disagreeing with the sentiment , but rather I am disagreeing with the clickbait headline.

In the case of LPDDR5, we don’t have removable memory due to tight signaling requirements and the fact that the DIMM slots themselves take up too much space when populated.

LPCAMM2 solves this, so I hope it is widely adopted going forward because LPDDRR5 offers a huge upgrade over previous gen.

Yeah, but it is regular DDR5, which is less power efficient.

I do love Framework, however. They are at the top of my list when I eventually upgrade my laptop.

Hopefully they give us CAMM2 modules with LPDDR5 at that point.

Outside of DIY, end users don’t care. See: Apple.

Also, if you have a laptop with LPDDR5, it is soldered. If it has DDR5 or some variant of DDR4, it is likely also soldered as most OEMs did away with DIMM slots.

I don’t like or agree with the practice.

They make you use the app to get the advertised features. Hyundai/Kia are terrible about this.

Oh and the entire implementation is half-assed. I bought my Hyundai used and can’t even use the paid features because they won’t transfer the account to me.

I actually like Hyundai, but I will never again purchase one of their vehicles because of subscriptions and what I mentioned above.

Are you in the US? Are you insured? You need to find another therapist. Since the pandemic, many insurance companies have improved services in this area. For example, mine eliminated copays and doubled the number of allowed visits. They also brought on a bunch of additional therapists.

Not really. The example listed above is perfectly readable.

Knowing the versions of webkit, browser version, etc. is important due to inconsistencies, new features, mossing features, and deprecated features. Sure it can be faked, but that is on the end user.
