Lots and lots of people, apparently. And lots of those really really should know better.

Stop supporting that shithole, people.

Didn’t read the article, or follow the news enough to be able to make a claim on what they should do, huh

No?

I mean, if you stretch those airquotes pretty hard, but not sure why you’d compare those people to this case

Plausible, but is it likely? Enough to be even remotely worth it…?

It’s an old code, but it checks out

Is Prime Video something that people sign up for a d would cancel? I thought it was something they just happened to get when buying the express shipping package.

Don’t be fooled. Most went back.

Great!

Hardware-wise? Yes, some of that too.

App bundles have virtually no relationship with resource forks. I guess you could say that App Bundles COULD include SOME metadata that you could have included in Forks, including the idea that something was an application or not. But that’s about it.

On the NeXT always being Apple thing - I mean, some of it maybe was spiritually Apple, and eventually it was 100% Apple. But we’re splitting hairs.

The smartphone case is one where I’d say they largely did invent the modern smartphone. I mean, they didn’t design every component from the ground up, but so much of what went into that first iPhone was new and completely redefined things, to the point where these interfaces and design languages still define how virtually every smartphone still works 15 years later.

Similar.with essentially creating the modern tablet market, instead of just trying to sell a reskinnrd desktop OS like everyone was trying to do at the time. But even that was 90% influenced by the iPhone (and its original non-phone design)

I mostly agree, but I’d just put the itunes pairing as one of the top 5 innovations (maybe #4), not the main one.

And ah yeah, the Itunes store. The Store, and Job’s personal (and surprisingly effective) crusade to bring sanity to the way (and prices) that music were being sold was huge huge.

That’s a good point.

Although, looking at it in a different, much more true way - no they weren’t.

Other systems did have double-click, and app bundles (which I still think are just fantastic) were a NeXT thing. (which of course became Apple, but they weren’t at the time). But yeah, Apple way refined and brought those to a mass market.

Try it again, but with your pinky out.

A Casio nothing-watch has more power than the Apollo computers

Does it?

Mindlessly consuming “content” is simply a disease.

Agreed. It’s like a lot of other unhealthy addictions.

Lots of things?

It’s weird. Even in the least densely populated county (and one of the poorest), we were able to get fiber. 50/25 is pretty reasonably priced, and could go up to 250mbps if we wanted for still fairly reasonable.

If they could do it, don’t understand why most places -except maybe the most rural western US - can’t do the same.

Yep, just confirmed there is no end-to-end encryption and that they can see anyone’s cameras at any time (or anyone that compromised ubnt)
