    Would they want to? If you were to build a system with no requirement for backward compatibility with cocoa or macOS, or even knowledge from such a thing existing, we have still mo…

    It is enabled by default in STP, so presumably it will launch alongside the 27 releases. Note Temporal was in the Ecmascript 2026 release back in March.

    I was unclear on that as well. WebAuthn uses an extended form of the U2F format, such that if you don't use any of the new features or extensions the two are binary compatible with…

    The problem I would typically have (not just in Shinjuku) was with directions that did not repeat/update as you continued on through junction points. It made navigation more stress…

    How much internal storage do you use for your full feature video editing, vs attached/network attached storage?

    Apple has plenty of enterprise-specific features. From a historic standpoint though Apple came back from near-death because they differentiated by focusing on the consumer first. W…

    This is not the cause though - other third-party browsers on iOS can do ad-blocking, and also can use system-installed extensions. They could also launch an alternative browser eng…
