Comment Why is casting a feature of the app not the OS? (Score 1) 67
Shouldn't the OS be able to cast the screen, rather than this being a function of the application?

I propose a law requiring companies to continue to provide old versions of software. They can remove a feature from the new version, but I can still get the old one. In the past, if Microsoft removed a feature from Word 2005 for example, then one could refuse to upgrade. I could save the installer. Yes, eventually it won't work any longer, and I am not saying they must support every version into perpetuity. But if Netflix removes a feature, I can't download the old version. So they should be barred from putting a barrier in place preventing access or use of it.
Dangit, stupid HTML filter! The was supposed to be "Oh no, open source doesn't support [INSERT ENSHITTIFICATION HERE] like customers want!"
I think it was intended to be drippingly sarcastic. Sloppy is pretending that the failure to screen cast is a feature that customers wanted, then constructing a sentence like "Oh no, open source doesn't support like customers want!"
Wrong.
Not even sure what you're talking about concerning AirPlay. What Google implemented was AirDrop, not AirPlay.
Regardless, I've used Google's Implementation going both to and from my Macbook Pro. It's the real deal. Works beautifully.
That's why you're sitting at a zero score on your post. Do more research next time.
I mean if you're going to count mobile, why not count any use frontend use of backend servers as well. After all, slashdot.org is running on Linux, so you're using it now on a desktop or mobile. We don't do this because the argument gets absurd.
Desktop generally counts desktop and laptop type computers and most of them aren't running Linux, they're running WIndows, MacOS, ChromeOS and some kind of Linux (or "Unknown", I suppose). You could count ChromeOS into Linux but that still doesn't beat out Windows or MacOS. Not by a longshot.
...simply visiting a website can trigger the Podcasts app to open and load...
This is why browsers should not launch apps without first prompting. Steam, Discord, Roblox, GlobalProtect VPN, and BeyondTrust, Office 365/Teams, and gzillions more work this way. You should never click the "[ ] Don't prompt me any more for this application" button. This allows any arbitrary web site to get out of the browser sandbox and chain to security flaws (or even direct features like "subscribe to podcast") that are in the application.
Mishaal Rahman reported that this is likely Google's reengineering of AWDL, not Wi-Fi Direct as has been reported by Ars Technica and others.
”Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.”

Who in this thread is worshipping Steve Jobs? Who said he has super powers? Do you just have an automated filter that finds any post that mentions Steve Jobs and then starts posting flamebait? Does it have a list of everything he ever did wrong so that you can randomly post a response? There is as much to learn from people who you hate as the people you admire.
This is why nobody can discuss anything rationally on the internet. When someone post something that Joe Biden did right, a troll will inevitably pollute the discussion with "Nyah nyah, you left wing wokists worship him." When someone posts something that Donald Trump did right, another troll else will jump in and say "Nyah nyah, Trump is an orange man with small hands." In the name of Socrates, try to keep your easily-triggered brains on topic!
Yes!! And:
...got the macro breakdown wrong even after the reviewer manually edited entries to include exact brands and amounts...
The fact that the user hand-edited the inputs and it *still* got it wrong, tells us that the company doesn't actually care if their product even works.
"The query began returning duplicate entries."
My mind immediately went to, "somehow f'ed up a JOIN".
Actually, Apple did deliver that capability but developers pushed-back and didn't want it.
Jobs was indeed a dick, but he did not make advertisements claiming features that do not exist.
Steve Jobs would not release a product until it actually did what they claimed it would do. I don't understand why this is some strangely difficult lesson for CEOs to understand. I suppose with the success of Musk and his ilk that idea seems quaint.
Why does Microsoft care what browser you use? Why do they even make a web browser? Revised: Why do they bother taking someone else's open-source browser and rebranding it with their logo?
You will have a head crash on your private pack.
