I used to like Apple as the scrappy underdog giving people tools and free software other companies charged for.
So from 2001-2014 I guess? 2001 is when Mac OS X came out and 2014 is when a non-crippled free Visual Studio came out.
Apple used to be morally anchored under Steve Jobs
The RDF really did a number on you, huh?
So he literally says "it's not feasible to prioritize" and "I'm not sure what to do". Is that 'complaining', where you come from?
Yes:
To complain is a verb that means to express dissatisfaction, pain, or resentment about a situation. It involves stating that something is wrong, unfair, or inadequate.
Thanks, dictionary.com! I wish everyone was smart enough to use you!
It is why for istance they yielded the enterprise market to Windows - he not only didn't give a shit about device management or directory service permissions or stuff like that, he considered that somewhere between distracting from and hostile to making "insanely great" devices.
He was wrong, and NeXTStep is an admission that he was wrong, especially since it became Mac OS X. And if you believe he was right, which you clearly do because you gave this as an example of what he did right, then you're wrong too.
If Apple would let people turn off what they're not using, it wouldn't be a problem.
Tesla is worth the $99/month, but GM supercruise isn't worth anywhere close to $40/month. It's unreliable, intermittant, and at times dangerous.
Dangerous like FSD driving you into a wall or under a tractor trailer and disabling itself a fraction of a second before the crash so Tesla can claim it's not their fault? Shill harder.
OnStar uses cellular service to connect, so if you have an emergency, either both OnStar and your cell phone work, or neither work. So there's no advantage to using OnStar rather than just dialing 911
OnStar systems detect that a collision has occurred and dial 911 for you. The phone can't do this as well, though it could perhaps do it. The service also has other features. I don't think it's a good deal (I don't want the spyware either) but it's not just a phone with an emergency button.
As I said, âoein partâ. Also, Win 10 hardly shied away from monetizing the user.
The goal of commercial software is to get paid, but Microsoft has been sleazebag number one or two in computing since forever. (It's hard to decide these days between them, IBM, and Oracle...) More on-topic though, if Microsoft wanted to ensure Xbox compatibility then they would have had to also require a relatively advanced GPU, which they didn't do.
They both have access to and can use the same SDK, so... what?
That's why I said it was sideways. The distinction is artificial.
This is just more of the same from a company that never understood the mission
The mission is fuck you and with no remorse.
Its always been about marketing, tracking, and vacuuming your money out of your pocket.
Yes, and spare no sleazebaggery.
I did it for a while, it's nice that they package the necessary files with the kernel, but it's nicer to not have to. These days I get a current kernel and a ntsync module without having to do anything special.
On one hand, stability is more important than new shiny. On the other, I have long awaited features which aren't available in some software versions, including in KDE where I really don't want to replace the whole thing.
It is, and I understand that, but I still place most of the blame with Google for creating such a distinction. It smacks of incompetence to not plan for users to be able to operate apps intended for one of those environments in theyl other
Nah, they will keep slowing down old devices with new features users didn't ask for in order to induce additional sales
"The US military isn't socialist, except that it tries to provide for it's members in compensation for the risks they take."
It should try harder
I live in a rural area where no provider works well, you insensitive clod!
They have an unparalleled level of oversight and accountability for a free distribution. It's worth dealing with the outdated packages. These days, on topic, at least you can get current kernels from backports.
Regardless of whether a mission expands or contracts, administrative overhead continues to grow at a steady rate.
