This is something that can't escape people making such statements but never seems to be addressed. Perhaps it is unaddressable as the original statement is grounded in emotion not …

I'm not convinced that is true. The JCB digger didn't put groundworkers out of business. A consultant that can get more done in a day is worth a lot more than one who can't. There …

Standard Operating Procedure.

Sure but isn't that the definition of clickbait?

Either that or Apple don't want to lose their 30% until they are forced to, one jurisdiction at a time. I guess we all need to make our own inference as to which is more likely.

Why as an Apple user in the UK am I considered too dumb to use a 3rd party app store but if I were 30 miles away in France I would be considered intelligent enough to cope? Because…

I'm very clumsy and I've never hit the play button by accident. What are you guys doing that makes it so easy to accidentally click the play button? Are you using the mac with the …

Sounds like snuff porn, not my sort of thing but thanks though.

This is very dystopian in my opinion. I'm not the arms, legs, sensors and actuators for a machine super intelligence. I wouldn't treat another human as my slave because they aren't…

We've known of a very good way to fix primary schools since 1907. Nearly 120 years. We simply do not want to do it because the labour and materials are more than we want to spend. …

I read it as a suggestion vs a demand but I can see why you felt it was entitled. The author doesn't need to care and can take or leave the advice. In many ways it is a shame we do…

It is easier to search for keywords (Capture the Flag) vs acronyms (CTF) which likely resolve to other terms as well. Child trust fund is the first result when I put CTF into Googl…

The people who designed Mach in 1985 would almost certainly design something very different if they had today’s hardware, AI agents, secure enclaves, NPUs, ubiquitous networking, c…

I found out about it through this guy and his videos, they are slow but in depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSLFz4jTMEY

Because nothing lasts forever. Take a look at what Harmony OS is capable of if you want to see what a modern take on an OS and ecoystem looks like. It sure isn't the pinnacle eithe…

Yeah that's definitely what I'm saying. Hopefully there is work being done on the replacement for the Mach kernel and OSX / iOS in general. If there isn't that would be a grave mis…
