China, Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, UK, France, Germany, South Korea, if you don't want to read the article.

It's based on new languages being made available on the Vision Pro keyboard.

In case you hadn't seen the BLUF acronym before (I hadn't, so was curious and looked it up), it stands for Bottom Line Up Front and it's about putting the most important information at the beginning of something.

Well we keep trying to tell them that if you give money to people who aren't as well as off as the 1% they actually spend that money in the economy and keep businesses running. Maybe this is just their way of testing the theory out? (But, you know, in a way that doesn't actually benefit the rest of us).

Everyone, we've been going about this all wrong! We've been saying we need to lower CEO pay, when the answer was here all along, we need to make printer cartridges cheaper and fix the problem that way!

This trips you up so many times if you visit the US from somewhere else. The number of times I'd see a snack listed for 99c, have a dollar bill on me and then they ask for like $1.12 is higher than I'd like to admit.

Wouldn't it just mean the cheat tools also move into the kernel space and keep doing what they're already doing? Whether people will trust that or not I have no idea but I'll wager people willing to use cheats in an online PVP game probably won't care that much.

There's probably an element of survivorship bias there. If a car is still around from the 70s it's probably because it's been taken care off. Given some time you'll probably say the same thing about cars from the 90s, the ones that are still around are well maintained or restored (cause the ones that aren't have all been scrapped).

Or, and hear me out here, work more for less money.

You'd be correct. And he was a cheater in that movie as well.

All it will take is a trustworthy company to launch a 3rd party app store.

This really is the key to this being successful I think. Right now a lot of the nervousness around opening iOS is because of the fact that people (rightly or wrongly) trust and have a relationship with Apple.

The people who are concerned about third party app stores really are worried about the implication of having to trust a new third party with their device, their payment details, their personal info, etc.

Put someone reputable behind an alternative and it becomes an easier sell.

That's fair, and I admit it's one possible outcome of all this. I just think that if the EU mandates that both Apple and Google have to support them that it's going to shift the needle on it as the alternative infrastructure will be properly supported on every major platform. As you get that infrastructure, get payment providers in place to drive it all, the friction of switching will drop, which makes it a more appealing option for developers.

Nobody is asking you yet. Once it becomes an option I guarantee some apps will decide that they'd prefer to use a third party store over the App Store and if that happens to be an app you use then you are essentially being asked to use other app stores.

This isn't advocating for or against it, I'm just saying that if you think that this is purely additive and those who don't want it can just not interact with it and get the same experience they have today then you're being naive.

Regardless, it's going to be interesting to watch. Smaller niche apps that don't need discoverability will probably benefit, since if you need a niche app for something you're probably prepared to put the effort into using a third party store. Large apps I suspect will go a hybrid model if they do anything at all (use both the App Store and a third party store, with the third party store having a lower price, although I guarantee it won't be 30% less), and stuff in between will likely stay on the App Store unless there's enough of a network effect to get enough users to a third party store to make it worth switching.

With the number of people renting on the rise due to house prices in many countries around the world, running cables isn't an option for everyone (and even when it is, not everyone wants to actually do it).

Having more options available for people to move large amounts of data around their home is never a bad thing.

In case you're like me and read the summary but didn't click the article cause I had no idea what KYC was, it means "know your customer". Used by banks and such for verification purposes.

To be fair, the disappointment is directed at themselves, not the employees. If they'd said they were disappointed in the employees for unionising then I would agree with you, but this to me at least reads like "we haven't been doing enough and need to do better".

...but why male models?

Gotta be careful with that approach though, cause they'd still be allowed just one Trump.

That's an... interesting take on the question 😂

I don't know the background of exactly how it happened, but on Reddit there's a subreddit called anime_titties that is actually about world politics.
