If your accessing a host with TeamViewer and you aren't using a VPN, you're and idiot and TalkTalk is saving your stupid ass from a major security mistake.
In this particular case, this 'rule' is not new, its been part of the rules since the app store was created, so before you spew some bullshit about 'change', keep in mind the people doing this have ALWAYS been violating the app store agreement.
The only difference here is that Apple now has a method to detect it, so they can enforce the rule easier.
Why bother knowing what the rules are when you can just do whatever you want and have a free-for-all like the Windows world, because thats AWESOME!
I do it because it makes me money hand over fist and because the rules aren't really that bad and do a lot of good to protect my grandma and grandpa from themselves.
Not getting rejected or yanked from the app store is trivial, the rules are well known, the only time this shit makes it in the news is when some dumbfuck like you goes off and rants about how apple is horrible for changing the rules or some other bullshit that is completely untrue and just shows your ignorance of the subject being discussed.
Do you ask retarded questions like 'what if everyone could drive the same car for everything, we could use my car for shipping goods from china to my house as well as driving to work and racing the Daytona 500 and drag racing championships while at the same time setting a new record for efficiency and distance.'
The universal computing platform is already there and in use, its called physics. Its the universal platform. We use it differently for different tasks because its more efficient and easier.
Why can't your CAD program run on your phone? Because thats a stupid fucking idea, thats why. If you can't begin to fathom why its a stupid idea it really would be a waste of time to try and explain it to you.
I guess maybe I'm just too old school, but 'back in my day' you weren't really considered to have done anything much impressive unless you happen to discover and assembly patch some silly system bug or standard library bug.
Now days, a company dedicated to doing just that makes front page news of slashdot because? You guys are new to the Internet and PCs? What? Why do I care that this company, one of many that does this all the time, did this on this particular occasion?
The weather in Florida also insures that places like Lakeland (grew up in Ocala myself) have a significant amount of clouds throughout the day. You know, that rain storm that comes every afternoon from 1-3pm... yea, that storm significantly cuts down on useful sunlight for solar in Florida. Being surrounded by water and less than 200 miles wide, the ocean makes for pretty consistent cloudy days even if the mornings and evenings are sunny, during the peak sunlight hours, the central Florida corridor is generally not seeing it.
Florida calls itself the sunshine state, but the rust state would be more appropriate.
BitCoin is worthless in that situation as well since the number of places that accept it outside of malware authors is trivial and falling. The places that do 'accept' it, for the most part DONT ACTUALLY ACCEPT BITCOIN . . . It's too fucking volatile to hold onto. They mostly pass BitCoin transactions through a third party who then pays your bill with a real financial transaction.
Outside of malware and exchanges, no one of any importance directly accepts BitCoin for payment, so try again.
Yes, all the time,. It don't let your ignorance get in the way when you compare no-skill-required stock boy at Walmart to a software developer at Yahoo.
Forget that Walmart does bonus it's software devs, because you know the guy restocking the cafeteria vending machines is getting a bonus that the Walmart stock boy isn't.
Everytime you try to act like Walmart is horrible you only show how you know nothing about them or how they compare to other unskilled employers. Your just parroting shit some other SJW spewed at you and to incompetent to confirm yourself.
Amazon is an evil company for every reason you blame Walmart and a fuck ton more, but I'm willing to bet you still are happy to give them your money, aren't you?
The real problem is that iOS tends to copy the shitty features of Android where as Android tends to take the good features from iOS.
The virtual buttons are a shitty feature. WTF is this obsessive need to get rid of physical buttons with tactile feedback? Its great that they can be changed, but I'd like to be able to do a few things without 100% attention to the screen constantly.
I'm a physical being. Not everything has to be software.
I'm sure daddy was creaming his pants and bragging to his buddies over the acceleration before this happened.
Probably.
Then his daughter died. His perspective likely changed at that point.
Its okay, you can't even imagine how a father would feel until you are one. Even as one, its pretty hard to imagine what it must be like to lose a daughter.
I imagine he hs a lot different today than he was before the Tesla.
Trying to figure out why we care that Facebook has just caught up to what Google has been doing for years . . . And is included as an example in AI libraries (Specifically Neuroph)
I don't know shit about AI but I could train the demo in a few minutes to find my boat in the thousands of photos in my collection.
The scary difference there is that Exodus actually had real assets worth something.
Snap has absolutely 0 value other than its customer list, which is worthless sense buying a customer list is pretty trivial these days. As has been shown before with these freebie services, the instant you try to make money, people leave. If there is any noticeable cost at all to these crappy little services, people aren't willing to pay.
Thats what happens when your target market is high school kids.
In that area, take away all of their lines in the ground and nationalize them, make the infrastructure available to anyone.
When you, as a corporation intentionally defraud the public, you loose any infrastructure that supported that defrauding directly, and possible infrastructure that helped indirectly.
After a few of them lose an entire city like New York for some stupid bullshit like this, they'll change their bullshit tune.
Until they actually get punished, nothing is going to change.
The whole thing revolves around the principle of not supporting DRM, so if this bothers you, you're just an uppity obnoxious bastard looking for something to bitch about rather than real problems.
If DRM bothers you... DON'T USE DRM'd CONTENT. Problem solved. The only thing this changes is that now you can't just tell that it's DRMd because it doesn't work after you've disabled it.
DRM is still optional, you STILL AREN'T REQUIRED to use it, the difference is now that you can't disable it then bitch that websites don't work as expected and blame the debs for some other reason.
No, the only problem here is that it requires you to actually DO SOMETHING and pay attention to what you're viewing so that you can be 'principled' rather than actually sitting on your ass and doing nothing while having the computer do all the effort of making a statement for you.
So basically, you and this entire thread are that guy who bitches about something and signs an Internet petition about it on change.org... and thinks that you've done something to protest.
i.e. if you're whining about this change because 'omg DRM'd content', then you're a fucking idiot which has more times than brains and likes to pretend you're 'sticking it to the man'
If you wanted to come up with some bullshit about the security risk potential, you'd still be stupid but at least you'd be starting on a valid point rather than starting from a position that makes it clear you care more about whining about how you're wronged than doing something about it to affect change.
If you're not given the option to make a choice, you aren't being principled. Its pretty trivial to say no to something you never have the option to say yes to.
Its the photoshop that doesn't suck ass because Adobe stopped actually adding features before the CS moniker was added. Everything since then has just been shitty UI changes that suck ass and fluff.
Pixelmator uses all the nifty Mac features like CPU/GPU multithreading for things and Pixelmator didn't take 10 years before they made a version that didn't require OS X backwards compatibility.
And its like $30USD last I looked. Updated pretty frequently with actual new features, not just stupid UI changes for the sake of having a reason to make you pay for another copy/subscription
Razer makes a better MacBook Pro in every measurable way than Apple, for cheaper; the only thing it can't (legally) do is actually run macOS.
So basically you just proved yourself wrong in one sentence. Congratulations, you're incredibly narrow minded and think the hardware is all that matters. You can keep your shitastic OSes and be happy, some of us 'professionals' like OSes that aren't half finished or entirely designed to spy on me and advertise at me ignoring any of my preferences.
Windows or Linux, take your pick, both are complete shit compared to OS X on the desktop, in the opinion of this 'professional' developer.
Note: I write software that runs on all 3 and work on all 3 daily, I'm qualified to have an opinion on all of them.
Now implement this in hardware with a light sensor instead of a switch the user has to push manually and you're almost as good as the notebook I just went and replaced with a newer model.
. . . You mean like every current Apple phone and computer do for brightness in general? OKAY DONE!
See they have this thing called a camera in them, that has a nice little sensor for just that purpose that they use to... automatically control the brightness.
THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF NIGHT SHIFT.
And its named poorly, because if you're on the night shift, its the exact thing to avoid.
The point of night shift is to change the color spectrum presented by the display to a 'warmer' color tone, which triggers the brain to start settling down for sleep. I DO NOT WANT night shift to enable itself when its dark. I want it to enable when its dark and its time for me to go to bed.
Last thing I need is sitting at a desk on the actual night shift, have this thing kick in without me noticing (and you shouldn't notice) and 30 minutes later I can't keep my eyes open because my display when from a cool color tone to a warm one. Its the same reason my office and bathroom have cool white lights, to keep me awake, and my bedroom has warm soft lights.
Learn what Night Shift is actually for AND what Apple already does before you start talking about how it should be, how it is or of course how it should be.

It has NEVER been allowed for the exact reasons you state and a whole bunch more.
NEVER.
It has been against the rules since DAY ONE and that was NEVER changed.
The only 'allowed' before was that Apple wasn't detecting it and stopping it. They are now detecting it and stopping it.
It was never 'permitted'.

What about the ones that get blown up due to an intentional attack ... Then sink.
There have been exactly 0 of those.
Sinking isn't the problem, it's that cruise missile or harpoon that I'm worried about.
You all thought Trump would support you and he would end H1B1 visas.
Well, according to Microsoft he actually already did stop SOME H1B1 workers, until Microsoft sued to have it blocked.

They didn't proof read it.
Fuck, they weren't even around when the monkey randomly hitting keys typed the fucking summary.

Must be, because only timothy would confuse Chrome and Chromium as the same thing.

Use a commercial CMS, Confluence (which I really hate personally) for instance has a full permissions system.
Wordpress may be shit, but its not the only one.

The clock is nothing more than an ignorant political statement by people universally unqualified to do so.
Boy who cried wolf much?
No one fucking cares about it anymore, it's completely arbitrary, like giving Obama the peace prize. 100% meaningless
