Guess it depends what country you're in. Here you must get consent from the people you fly around if it's equipped with a camera.

I find this funny considering there are so many restrictions on drones these days. A loud flying camera, regulated to hell....but a cellphone, do whatever the fuck you want.

This. Remove the artificial restrictions and user count will explode exponentially. I have multiple machines that would run Windows 11 great (and I could make them run it with well documented workarounds), but I don't want to risk breaking changes seeing as they're not "supported". So, for now, Windows 10 is good enough.

Or even swap Apple for Google and iPhone for Android Phone if you want to narrow it down to similar devices. You can sideload apps, you can install 3rd party app stores (some manufacturers even bundle their own app stores from the factory), etc.

You have been warned.

with a higher capacity available to us that plugged into a port ubiquitous to most gaming devices.....

There are small groups here that would like that very much.

Unfortunately, racism is alive and well in New Zealand and goes in both directions.

It's open source, so how is it a monopoly? Microsoft uses it for Edge too as Edge is based off open source Chromium. There's also nothing stopping you from installing Firefox on Android / Windows / MacOS / Linux / etc. which uses Gecko instead of Blink.

Actually a decent browser engine (instead of the deliberately gimped one in Safari) on iOS could pave the way for Progressive Web Apps.

Welcome to the next big thing....crapplications.

Assuming a catastrophic event doesn't push it in the direction of Civil War. Over a hundred years on, and still major division around the Treaty of Waitangi.

Fact of the matter is....if half the people ended up with a 10th of the wealth these billionaires had, they wouldn't do what they're asking the billionaires to do.

All well and good to tell someone what they should be doing when you're not in the same position as them.

Do I think it's a good thing for an individual should have that much wealth, while others suffer and / or get poorer? Not at all, but it's not my place to decide "should haves" and "shouldn't haves".

When an individual complains about an open source project they're told "you're welcome to fork it and do what you like with it" - when a large corporate who has the resources to do so, does it, then the sky is falling.

You don't write web apps in C unless you're a masochist. Most of the "batteries included" in Python is written in lower level languages like C or C++.

The fact of the matter is, we NEED C/C++/Rust programmers in order to have the 'nice' languages like Python, Javascript, etc.

My last Mac computer had a checkbox to only allow store apps that you had to turn off if you wanted to install something downloaded from the internet.

If it's on by default (so those who don't know any better are still protected by the walled garden approach) with the option to turn it off - what's the harm other than the potentially minor one to Apple's profits? If anything, it may even tempt some people to switch to iOS.
