This is Slashdot. People are vilified for the oddest things. People with Trump Derangement are even worse than the ones in the past who had Obama Derangement. They're stupid and dangerous, so it's always best to play it safe.
Now, you might be correct. I remember back when I had an iPod Touch and Apple locked me out of my low cost partially homemade charger with an OS update.
They really take those 'approved' logos on the package seriously.
You only bought the base model for $1K? I bet your friends are going to start looking at you funny. At least get the new Apple Watch; that will will kinda help your rep.
One could ask how many years will corporate trade secrets and obfuscation delay pie-in-the-sky-hypetech?
Or something of that nature. Patents only last for a limited time, and then become a gift to humanity.
I know it isn't popular to acknowledge that here, and my exposition of this reality will be hammered to pieces by the 'wits' who hang out in these discussions....
I'm not sure how you got that from the intellectual bankruptcy of Apple's OS developers that lead to them having to buy a new MacOS from an outside company.
Microsoft providing binaries that can be used to compile it on various flavors of Linux is not good portability. Portability would mean it could be compiled on NetBSD, Irix, maybe BeOS. Anything that has a compliant C compiler.
I'm sure they have a 'We are the greatest' bravado on campus that never dies down. There's enough richness to spread around to dampen any dissonance. For now.
Steve Jobs challenged the Pepsi Co guy to come work for Apple by saying 'Do you want to sell sugar water to kids for the rest of your life.'
Shortly after Jobs returned to Apple, a big part of the bizness turned into selling 'tunes' to people. I remember the irony when they started putting 'get a free iTune' bottlecaps on pop bottles.
You're right that it's chaotic dealing with open hardware in a competitive market. It's so much easier to just nestle into a tightly closed product line.
If not for that, Android might have been an also-ran
Yes. If not for that we might not have a world where a dominant mobile device runs on the linux kernel and apps for it are developed with a SDK that anybody can download and run on almost any common desktop hardware.
Yeah. It's really a shame he killed the Newton.
And yes, Android is a blight on corporate dominance. It could never fork into something more free. Xcode is so much more of an open source pursuit.
In terms of the software culture predominant after the transaction, NeXT bought Apple. Apple had frittered away millions on a next gen Mac OS, and gotten nowhere.
I almost never see cyclists, even the ones in their little outfits acting like they are Serious Cyclists, slow down let alone completely stop at stop signs. But that's the law, guys.

Accessory locked? For a charger?

Why not? Going by trends, he could end up being the next President of the United States!

Diodes are also always capacitors.

So now you've embraced genocide?
Look at what you're becoming.

'Portable' would mean all it needs is a C compiler. For example, to compile it on NetBSD.
Don't you mean the Tragic Macpad?
It's self-hosting but it's not in any way portable because of it.
I would be more impressed if they rewrote the C# compiler in plain vanilla C and released it to the world as source.
Bootstrapping is from bare metal, or as close as possible.

You'll find that "being fun at parties" isn't that big of a priority for people here on Slashdot.
This might not be your kind of 'blog.'

Why are you here on Slashdot, again?

Yes. If not for that we might not have a world where a dominant mobile device runs on the linux kernel and apps for it are developed with a SDK that anybody can download and run on almost any common desktop hardware.

Are you nuts?
ADB evaporating overnight. Welcome to dongles that don't really work for your ADB peripherals.

The point is, people like you are even having to admit that Microsoft has changed for the better. Yes, they 'had to.'
Checksums are trivial to defeat. Hashes, a little harder.
In terms of the software culture predominant after the transaction, NeXT bought Apple. Apple had frittered away millions on a next gen Mac OS, and gotten nowhere.
It seems like Apple has decided that people who use their phones are a product, to be sold to Google, not a customer.
Do you have a speaker or open back headphones?
I almost never see cyclists, even the ones in their little outfits acting like they are Serious Cyclists, slow down let alone completely stop at stop signs. But that's the law, guys.
The gps can be used to sense the phone is in motion and grey out the Text and Phone icons.
