Since MongoDB’s functionality seems to be easily replicated/replaced, this seems to suggest there’s too many possible offerings out there for them all to be self-sustainable.
Iâ(TM)ll suggest something: letâ(TM)s all start posting in unicode only, thatâ(TM)ll potentially get the Slashdotâ(TM)s editors attention, and then maybe theyâ(TM)ll notice and actually address this massive bug in Slashdotâ(TM)s codebase!
No ports = they control how the thing is charged = what can charge it.
So you either pay Apple for the charging accessory, or end up paying Apple for another accessory (that third party accessory maker has to pay an Apple license, which they pass on to you...)
It still astonishes me that credit card companies haven't improved on this yet - statements are still cryptic line-items that sometimes lead to chargebacks because people don't remember/can't figure out what it's exactly for, nor is there some electronic means to verify the charge to some type of virtual receipt produced at the time of purchase.
I've found it incredibly stupid to have those popup in the middle of a video - what am I supposed to do with those? Click on them, thereby stop watching what I currently want to watch before it's done?!?
So are you defending Apple or what? Are you saying that Apple is going to OS as a service? Inquiring minds need to know about your whataboutism.
Perhaps I've lived in a bubble, but Apple is nothing like Microsoft - Examples pleas.
You have lived in a bubble, apparently.
If anything, Apple is even more arrogant than Microsoft, fuelled by the lemming-like loyalty of its fanbois. That arrogance has resulted in Apple dictating what users want, such as:
- buggy forced yearly updates (ex. iOS 11) with gimmicks (Animoji......with tongues, anyone?) as "features"
- removal of the headphone jack no one asked to be gone, because "courage"
- flawed products (butterfly key keyboards) in the name of "thinness" (again no one asked for)
- dictating how the device you paid for and own should perform without your control (batterygate)
- design over function (awkward/hidden/esoteric UI, anemic products passed as “Pro”) being the product design philosophy
There's plenty of other examples out there (MacInTouch being a good resource.
I think a lot of the problems with those types of changes is that they’re not incremental,
like other code fixes/features.
UI/UX changes can be valid/necessary to make workflows better, but drastic changes rub users the wrong way - the changes should be done gradually instead.
Yes, that's the better question to ask. I think it's simply a matter of exposure. Designers just aren't as aware of the potential of open source to show off their creativity. Some sort of outreach may be in order...
I agree with this - lots of designers are eager to put their mock designs up, but don’t seem to want to do it on real projects, which would give them valuable experience.
Every once in a while we have an electronics recycling in our area, and they took a count of how many printers they got that were still functional, and it turned out to be about 65%; about 85% of those they could “resale” (meaning they had power cord, etc enough to make them usable, sans new ink). They tried to give them to the local thrift shops, but they usually refuse them because they already have too many of them to try to sell. So they end up in landfills.
So now the local towns are thinking of putting restrictions on the sale of those types of printers.
Just have everything done through Apple - pay with ApplePay, subscribe to all the apps you use through the App Store, perpetually pay for iCloud storage.... what could possibly go wrong?
Although I realize the current monopoly laws wouldn't make either Apple or Google/Alphabet (or similar competitors) a monopoly, they both effectively have a single 'monopoly' of the entire market, but because the current laws would allow them to claim the other's marketshare doesn't make them a monopoly, they both get to enjoy their duopoly. We know how duopolies have totally worked out for the consumers' interest in the telecom space (/sarcasm).
I think the laws need to be changed, either better inline with the EU's (where competition is the primary thing they protect, instead of only protecting consumers from harm), or consider any duopoly the same as a single monopoly.
(No, I'm not going to work out the specifics of dealing with that - it's not my job, since I'm the one paying through my taxes for the government to do it).

Once considered a Nest thermostat, then Google bought them out, and decided “NOPE!”
Same thing when Amazon bought Ring: “NOPE!”
Today I feel validated in my decisions.
The wording of the title is meant to trigger the Apple fanboys.
Simple, do awful things that will make people avoid using any of your services.
and I don't get why anyone would watch this. Period.
Still would've been novel for ./ to actually link to the YouTube channel, so some of us could easily check it now..... but no.
You know you can just turn them off, right?
Looking at the settings in the YouTube app on both iOS and Android, I don't see any option to turn them off.
And if you have to log into your Google account to find that option, well, fuck that complicated, obfuscated shit.

Swap “Microsoft” and “Apple” and the statements still hold true.

I don't think I can say "Oh fuck NO!" fast enough.

I guess that explains this teacher's ability to do so many flips then!
