Ah perhaps the app is using bedtime mode for its functionality? Didn't get a chance to try it myself yet, but great that pausing is already implemented.

How about a pause mode? I use Android's Bedtime mode a lot, and it has a helpful feature that let's you quickly "Pause for 30 minutes" or "Turn off for now" from a notification [1]…

Why? Are safety issues not "serious"?

From this [1] 2017 report: > pharmaceutical and biotechnology sales revenue increased from $534 billion to $775 billion between 2006 and 2015 > worldwide company-reported R&D spend…

Same energy as Unlimited Data!! (up to 100GB)

I'm not sure how any of this is related to the article. Does this non-Tesla manufacturer claim that their steering assist is "full self driving"? If you believe their steering assi…

Close, it's 40!/(20!*20!) 20 Rs, 20 Ds in a 20x20 grid. Example pattern: RRDDDR...D (40 letters) Basically the number of permutations, with repetition, of 20 Rs and 20 Ds.

There are examples of things breaking in this very comment section [1]. Given how widely used ACF is, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that a lot of weekends were ruined by the "…

> this is not a hard problem to solve in idiomatic Go. Genuinely asking, what would the solution look like in idiomatic Go? Let's assume for a second that the premise of the articl…

I agree. Though to be fair Nintendo's NES is a gaming console (not that they are right, just contrasting the use-cases). Consider Apple's very own Mac - another general-purpose com…

I'm going to reply here to provide a bit more context, since many of the threads are diving too deep into the specifics of linux/foss/openness/ideology, which was unfortunately not…

A lot of people are quick to lock themselves into a gatekeeper's walled garden, and throw away the keys. That Linux has not only survived for so long, but thrived, is a true testam…

> Are you seriously asking why Apple offers its users a built-in app ... As you may have already read in my comment, I'm asking why it wasn't uninstallable to begin with.

Please do tell us more about why the Photos "app" is unique and wasn't uninstallable to begin with, surely it's not a business decision made explicitly to increase vendor lock-in a…

Oh but we do care. Not every app developer is a dealership, a car is used in a much broader context. Some may be like Uber, turning the car into a taxi service, or like Turo, allow…

But a car is used for more things than going to the dealership, and the dealership does not sell me groceries. Perhaps I want to race, or carry ikea furniture, or jump start anothe…

Why not? You are presumably less-clothed in a pool, it could take pictures. Or record private conversations. Or both. But sure, here's another - You can run any company's software …

True, though the situation isn't exactly equivalent. Using another real estate analogy - Imagine you bought a house from Fruit Builders company. The house came with a pool. Now unl…

It is much harder to explain to consumers why Apple should get a percentage-based rent (sorry Core Technology Fee that enables Privacy and Security™) if they go to a non-Apple webs…

Sure, but the cut is a fixed amount based upon the value of the services the middleman is providing. And most importantly, it is not a percentage of the revenue the customer is abl…
