Scalping is not a serious risk with digital goods. When the company can sell an infinite number of licenses, there is zero risk of a third party coming in and buying up a significa…

Only if you have cold to retain...

Just get the crypto bros involved. Track the license using blockchain. Should allow transferal of the license without allowing endless duplication.

It is a common phrase and has been for a very long time though has increased over the last 6 years or so. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=is+doing+a+lot...

So, the exactly same as the USA then.

They very much aren't good enough yet. I'm a highly technical user and have had to move to using MDM tools to actually have something that works reliably.

Dodged that bullet. Heard Tim Cook's comments and decided to pull the trigger on the machine I was debating as I didn't think Gruber was right on them waiting until new models to c…

Not really a serious argument when you are accessing a Google product. Sure, don't want to interact with Google? Don't interact with Google, but logging into Google workspaces with…

Mail.app's search is completely and utterly broken in my experience on Macs and on iPhones.

I've heard good things about it, for sure, but I'd argue that it isn't really an Email client. It is a Gmail client as it doesn't work with anything else. Fastmail is in the same b…

It hasn't made a significant contribution because of panic after the various accidents and the "environmentalists" deciding to advocate against it when it was the clearest path to …

How much do those batteries cost and can they supply power for multiple days or a season if your renewable sources aren't providing like normal? Not to mention the environmental da…

Got an example of a well-implemented natice app for email? I'm bugged by some bugs with the Fastmail app, but have generally had a better experience with it than any other client I…

I like mise a lot, but only use it for project specific tool management, JDK versions, etc. I tried to use it for system wide things, but found it didn't work as well for me with t…

Not American as much as it is "corporatese".

... I'm not sure what part of "If you extend that logic to the world" you didn't understand.

If you extend that logic to the world, is it malpractice to teach anything before Mandarin or Hindi?

Not actually science until you can test it.

I mean, I don't think we are living in a simulation, but even if we were, there is no reason to believe that simulating something inside of a simulation is going to prove anything …

I think we have different definitions of "emergency" if a text message that they may or may not see any time soon is an acceptable solution. If it is an actual emergency, I need to…

Sure, let me know when any of these imaginary physics is useful for predicting anything that can be observed.

Simulating it on a computer, even a "quantum computer", is not the same as testing it against actual reality.

Please enlighten us how purely theoretical mathematical constructs, that are impossible to test, help us understand anything about our universe.

Why are we talking about voicemails in the context of emergencies? If it was an emergency, I'm calling every number I have for someone until they pickup or enough time has passed t…

I will make use of Apple's AI writing tools to check my grammer and spelling before hitting send on more important messages, but that is about all the "polishing" I let it do. It a…
