DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Australian regulator calls for new competition laws for digital platformsEnglish1·2 years agoPirated 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.
DanTheMan827Bto Minecraft@level-up.zone•Nintendo switch Minecraft Edition is Garbage.English1·2 years agoYou’re not wrong, but a modded switch running Android runs the game better than an un-modded switch running the official version
DanTheMan827Bto Minecraft@level-up.zone•My lil bro say that bedrock edition is the worst mistake Mojang madeEnglish1·2 years agoBedrock 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.
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Big Tech fights back against antitrust reformsEnglish1·2 years agoIt 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
DanTheMan827BtoData Hoarder@selfhosted.forum•SSD prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. HDDs aren't.English1·2 years agoIn the $300 range…
Even if they’re “only” SATA speeds, that would be such a game changer for a NAS
DanTheMan827BtoData Hoarder@selfhosted.forum•SSD prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. HDDs aren't.English1·2 years agoBoth are dropping, but SSDs are dropping more quickly
DanTheMan827BtoData Hoarder@selfhosted.forum•SSD prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. HDDs aren't.English1·2 years agoWhat’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.
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Apple CEO Tim Cook told Google CEO Sundar Pichai he wanted to be “deep deep partners.”English1·2 years agoOur vision is that we work as if we are one company.
Sounds like antitrust regulators would absolutely love that…
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Apple's head of security speaks out against iPhone app sideloading in new interviewEnglish1·2 years agoApple 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.
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Nothing kills iMessage bridge because it profoundly violated user privacyEnglish1·2 years agoMuch ado about Nothing…
DanTheMan827Bto Minecraft@level-up.zone•Iron has the compass, gold has the clock. What device should copper have?English1·2 years agoFlashlight.
Redstone, glowstone, glass, and copper
DanTheMan827BtoData Hoarder@selfhosted.forum•Best Buy - 18TB Easystore on sale for $199.99English1·2 years agoWhat drive is inside?
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Apple’s RCS announcement date wasn’t coincidence, and is good insuranceEnglish1·2 years agoSo 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
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Apple Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals revealedEnglish1·2 years agoThey 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…
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Apple iPhone App Sideloading Could Increase Risk of Crypto Phishing AttacksEnglish1·2 years agoThis 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.
DanTheMan827Bto Apple@hardware.watch•Whats the real reason Apple stopped including headphones and power adapters in the phone box?English1·2 years agoMoney.
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.
DanTheMan827BtoData Hoarder@selfhosted.forum•Just started data hoarding movies, thinking about hopping on this Costco deal, opinions?English1·2 years agoThat’s why you buy two!
There are people who will format and reinstall their os without copying any data… and they don’t have any backups
