Oh no… They WOULD piss on you. Just not to help put out the fire.

“… by the way, we’ve already sold that feature I made up to two customers, so …”

No, the problem is with APPLE’S IMPLEMENTATION of HOW Apple allows third party stores through Safari. NOT with third party browsers themselves. Please learn to read.

Well that’s just Apple “innovation”. You’re clearly not brilliant enough to understand the long term plan of greedy morons Apple.

I’d argue the problem isn’t “browsers”, but Apple’s closed ecosystem clashing with a more secured internet. They do not need to do it this way, which makes it their fault.

That’s not what’s said in the article. At all. What so ever.

The problem isn’t suddenly allowing third party browsers. It’s that Apple’s implementation to allow that in Safari sends out info about sites visited with those app stores. It allows snooping of what 3rd party things people use.

It would still have to be for something against the law, not just any random old complaint…

Ya’ll out here wholly forgetting how rights are actually stripped from people…

You assume MS is competent?

I mean, I’d definitely do it to SBF if his crap wasn’t cleaned out already. Though admittedly I’d largely keep going just because this world DESPERATELY needs fewer SBF types in it…

I’ve had both happen a lot. Only the basic stuff gets a correct answer, because nuance is difficult even for the tech savvy.

No, it is always the same question.

… from a person sitting in a very different situation with a slightly different problem.

Ouch, non-standard plug for a standard power source? That’s almost worse. If only certain insanely rich companies didn’t do it as a standard practice even after the EU tells them to knock it off…

Remember the good ol’ days where it was barrel jacks or raw terminals regardless of what the device actually worked with?

ahhh, those were the days … of easily breaking things.

Make sure the voltage and power requirements are the same. Maybe the old one cannot deliver enough juice for the new one.

That’s one reason a lot of device designers go for USB C proper: it supports multiple voltages and multiple power levels, and in a way where the devices shouldn’t be able to pull too much power from a smaller charger. (assuming they implemented the spec and didn’t just use the plug anyways) In theory, one smart charger with enough oomph could charge anything that sticks to spec up to 240W.

Yea, I see what you mean. Actual representation and not tokenization. I wouldn’t accuse even STD or Picard of at least purposefully tokenizing. Although with the contemporary representation with a drama focus in the writing, it almost jumps the shark enough on the ST premise that the contemporary drama representation almost just feels tokenized, if that makes sense. I don’t think it’d be obvious with better writing, and I hear they get better later, so I could see people disagreeing out of pure entertainment value in the least.

Marketing and executive work shares many similarities with being in first grade. Flashy colors and stupid slogans go pretty far when the target has a child’s brain.

My comment is not about any specific lgbtq content but about the general attitude of the writing. The focus on drama over logic completely shallows out the allegory until it’s JUST a gay couple being contemporarily gay on screen.

It’s not bad to have contemporary representation, it’s just less inspired than what older ST did. Mind, I’ve heard later Picard seasons get better on the writing, and SNW I only stopped watching because I forgot more were coming, so I’m not trying to poo poo on anything except that which people largely already agree aren’t that great.

Like the first season of TNG. It’s uh… they had some decent episodes but boy were the bad ones something. lol Or the TNG movies for the most part. They’re just … different than the show. Entertaining, but that’s not my only criteria for ST, personally.

Yea, I’d definitely say they’ve made missteps in the past. I also hear Discovery is MUCH better in later seasons as well, so the juxtaposition in general writing style that highlights what I mean may be muddied by competence showing up later.

Those are specific details, not general nature of writing. I’m talking about analysis of the writing style, not how scifi it is.

I mean, yea, basically. They didn’t let the concepts steep enough so the allegory took back stage to the simplified moralizing.

I’m not necessarily against any general angle they took, it just didn’t really do the star trek intellectual thing where they’re actually competent professional adults dealing with something. The general mood of the writing is just … too straight forward plain Hollywood. Sure, Star Trek has its TV schlock, but it was that angle of at least trying to make everyone logic-first adults that made it great.

I’ve heard lists of rules and all sorts of ways hosts track guests. Keep in mind the article is about them only now banning cameras. lol
