The metric to beat isn't "is self driving dangerous, yes or no?" The metric to beat is "is self driving on average substantially safer than human driving?". Once you beat that metr…

Looks like I was right. Entirely unrelated to the Apple Card. https://9to5mac.com/2021/03/03/apple-card-apple-id-unrelated... "No matter what payment method was used, the ability t…

After looking into it more, I see that the instant credit system is the culprit. 1. Apple instantly gave Dustin the credit (because he opted into paying monthly). From Apple's site…

> That's not exactly what happened. "they give you a credit at purchase time" That would still be a refund on the Apple Card. "amount of the credit [...] to my Apple Card balance."…

I think you missed the point where Dustin mentioned this: "Very soon after, it seems that Apple simply added the amount of the credit I received when I purchased the M1 MacBook Pro…

Wrong. If Dustin used a Chase card for the trade in/payment for the Mac, this situation would have resulted in the exact same way.

Chargeback is to establish that Apple can shutdown your services if Apple thinks you owe them money. Dustin was erroneously credited for something from Apple, and now Apple shutdow…

SIWA will still work for two weeks should Apple decide to "terminate all related functionality". Apple did not decide to "terminate all related functionality".

> Owing money to whom is the question. Today I can put an App Store charge on my Chase card and do a chargeback making up some stupid reason that I never got my app in which the ch…

> That's not what happened though. His credit card didn't expire I didn't say that's what happened. I'm saying it's entirely possible Apple can shutdown your account for owing mone…

"Within rights to terminate [...] all related functionality" is completely different than "Apple HAS TERMINATED [...] all related functionality". Upon terminating "all related func…

> the main issue is that Apple shut down his other Apple services because of non-payment. This presumably wouldn't happen if the charge was on a non-Apple card. Not entirely true. …

> Apple made a mistake with the credit process An important detail left completely out from any of the tweets.

If you read Tim's tweet, it says in the policy "Ability to ENABLE Apple services [like] Sign in with Apple". This makes sense as Epic no longer has the ability to enable SIWA on ne…

How do you know Uber and Grab? (Grubhub?) were never rejected? You're assuming they passed every single review which I think it's highly unlikely. Considering 40% of all submission…

Judging from the screenshots in your tweet, your first rejection was failing to follow the rules that stated if you have a third party sign in, you're supposed to use Sign In with …

Title is clickbait and not very objective. Apple isn't "bullying". It sounds like reviewer was convinced a phone number was not needed. That's why you simply reply back to the revi…

Such an awful comment.

So far the last several Macbooks have throttled after X minutes of rendering. The only real surprise is that the 2018 Macbooks ended up with worse rendering time. But it does make …

Apple didn't advertise a minimum time guaranteed to sustain 2.9ghz with 100% load. It's not much different than my iPhone shutting down after recording 4k60 video for 2 minutes in …

My guess is Premier already had optimizations for the 2017 Macbook Pro to lessen the amount of hits to the throttle threshold temperature.

That's a serious tin-foil hat you got there.
