>they had their stuff locked forever It was locked for less than a week. >but they still sell them in stores Unfortunately there are sketchy resellers that exist too.

It was locked for a week because of the social media fuss that not everyone can raise. Otherwise it'd be forever.

How do you know that? It's entirely possible that it just takes time to go through Tim Cook's email and social media didn't play a factor.

Clicking on folders that you have put in Finders sidebar - It will not display the folder with the view settings set for that folder, but instead the last folder you clicked in the sidebar. It seems to happen clicking from top to bottom vs bottom to top. You just cant make this sh*t up it's so bad. Example sidebar: Applications - Always shows as icons Documents - Shows as icons if you last clicked on Applications. Sh…

that's not how it works for me in MacOS Tahoe, the sidebar works as it should now.

Just tested on Tahoe 26.1 and it's still happening as he described.

Slightly off-topic, but stuff like this does not just happen at Apple. When Cyberpunk 2077 came out, my wife bought it with her credit card and gifted the game to me. It was fine at first. I even managed to play through the game. However when coming back to the game a few months later (to see all the bugfixes), it was gone. I contacted the (gog) and they said it was removed due to automatic fraud detection and that t…

Since it's gog at least you could download the game and save it somewhere.

Using it would be copyright infringement since the license is revoked since it was refunded.

I, along with every AI company, give exactly zero fucks about copyright infringement.

Admittedly the hardware of the pixel 10 pro is very nice, but it still runs android which is the main issue for me. Also I love magsafe

The hardware is far behind in terms of benchmark performance. That wasn’t important to me, but it’s noticeable when you edit videos.

That’s a good point

What matters is that the purchaser had every reason to think that it was legitimate and they were not the malefactor in this scenario, but they still got banned.

If you buy stolen property without knowing you still get punished by having the stolen property taken away. Just because you don't know, it doesn't mean you have not done anything wrong.

You will have your stolen property taken away, you won't have your entire house lock with bars and get evicted from the property.

I have a fun one: my iPhone (12 Pro) refuses to acknowledge that it has eSIM functionality, even though the hardware exists. I'm fairly sure I know what the problem is! It was restored from a backup taken on an iPhone X that had two physical SIM slots (Chinese version). The new phone now seems to think it has two physical SIM slots: it shows an IMEI2 in About, but any attempt to use the eSIM functionality just fails…

> I filed a Radar on it ages ago, but I'm assuming nobody ever picked it up.

I mean, based on all experience with Apple in the last 10 years, their bug trackers have presumably migrated to /dev/null for a backing db.

Mine “favorite” bug is the auto-replace of I->O on iOs. O think that’s a real strange one, and really wonder whether anybody ever uses “O think” in English.

My iPhone always replaces « wow » by « WoW ». So annoying

That does sound annoying.

I have a dozen regularly typed words that I have had to set up string replacements for (in General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement) to work around recorrect the autocorrect.

It used to be possible to tell autocorrect to ignore certain words and add them to the system dictionary (by typing the word, having jt autocorrected, hutting backspace and fixing the autocorrected word, and repeating the process 2 or 3 times), but that inexplicably stopped working for me a few years ago.

Training an AI model is fair use. Playing a video game without paying for it isn't.

that deserves a whole separate opera. why does moving the cursor to start/end almost always place it one character off? same when trying to use touch on text for it.

This. I feel like this is due to small shifts when lifting the finger. For the life of me, I cannot get myself to lift it like the testers at Apple do, and so I wished the product itself could go through learning phase; studying intentions and what actual touches happen.

Apple devs are probably doing something with the touch returned by the touchUpInside callback. This is an extremely, extremely common bug in iOS apps, not just with Apple developed software.

Devs love the symmetry of their touch handling code and often have the finger-down, finger-moved, and finger-up callbacks from the system all call the same handleTouch function they wrote. As you can tell, however, the touch from the finger up callback is often better discarded or handled differently otherwise you get these sort of bugs
