There are people who will format and reinstall their os without copying any data… and they don’t have any backups

Pirated iOS apps are already a thing…

Those who want to pirate will find a way, and the rest will either just pay for it, or not get it to begin with.

The App Store and play store both need the option of demos… or at the option of the developer, time limited trials of the full app.

You’re not wrong, but a modded switch running Android runs the game better than an un-modded switch running the official version

Bedrock is a lot better than people give it credit for honestly… sure, Java can be modded, but bedrock runs considerably better on low power devices.

Mind you, if you’re connecting to a server, you’re offloading a lot of the stress anyways, but still.

It just underscores the need for it.

I wouldn’t use an iPhone 5 unless you like having unpatched security flaws on an internet connected device…

Just a bad idea all around in my opinion

In the $300 range…

Even if they’re “only” SATA speeds, that would be such a game changer for a NAS

Both are dropping, but SSDs are dropping more quickly

What’ll be extremely nice is when the price per TB is less on an SSD than a hard drive.

Might be a while, but I would gladly take SATA speeds if that’s what it meant to get to that price.

Our vision is that we work as if we are one company.

Sounds like antitrust regulators would absolutely love that…

Apple shouldn’t be the one who devices what the users end up actually using… they should compete to have the best product, and let the users decide for themselves.

Much ado about Nothing…

Flashlight.

Redstone, glowstone, glass, and copper

What drive is inside?

So will they also add the ability for alternative messaging apps to be able to send / receive messages?

iMessage isn’t popular just because it’s iMessage, it’s popular because it’s the priority messaging system and seamlessly integrates with “normal” SMS/MMS messages.

I think Apple should make a MessageKit framework (or something like that) to enable apps the ability to essentially replace the messages app.

Apple makes and locks in so many default apps, and it’s kind of annoying honestly.

I hope this interoperability will mean something like Trillian could exist for the modern age… a single app that lets you communicate with everyone regardless of the platform they use. it’s a shame XMPP didn’t really take off

They should’ve just cut the cost of ram and storage upgrades to 1/3 of what they normally cost… they’d still be making bank on them…

This is not nearly as big of an issue as it appears…

It’s not exclusive to iOS, and there’s nothing preventing someone from making a web app that does the exact same thing…

People worry there’s going to be full malware getting released that scans your files and other app data the minute you install it… but that’s not how iOS works… that isn’t even how Android works.

Money.

It’s always about money…

Not including these items allows them to make smaller boxes, which means they can fit more of them in a shipment, which means they save money… and that’s not even including the amount they saved by not giving away those items.

That’s why you buy two!
