Nor does a court want a bunch of wild goose chases; you are drastically oversimplifying the due process here. No dev or studio is going to claim a violation unless they think they’re the victim of it, which means they can’t get on the store. On top of court costs and the time it takes to MAYBE prove a violation did…

Except that it takes a lot more than an accusation to take someone to court for a violation. Nothing is forcing Apple to divulge its reasoning for refusing an app; it even says right in the ruling that they retain the right to determine who and what can be on its storefront. Moreover, they have done that very thing on…

Except that Apple retains their ability to remove an app from or prohibit entry to an app for any reason. You really think they won’t make up whatever reason they want? Hell, they’ve been known to refuse entry with no reason given beyond “does not meet our standards of quality”. Even if it’s really because they don’t…

You also can’t use a drill bit with a power saw, but no one’s claiming that the power saw has a power tool monopoly. That’s not how it works.

Worth noting is that I didn’t see anything saying that Apple has to approve apps that have outside payment systems... so basically nothing has changed. Just means if they add one after the fact they could still remain on the store, and even that is likely fraught since going in with that intention could be challenged…

How about we focus on removing off-color behavior first? Oh wait, that would require more than paying a couple of programmers to comb through old content, nevermind.

Why the hell would I want to spend $77 on this thing when an $8 tape measure will do the same job with only a tiny bit more inconvenience?

That’s the reason I’m not freaking out about all the ways they’re trying to game the voting restrictions. It’s not going to make a difference; the votes we’ll lose through the restrictions will be made up for by the lopsided death ratio Covid is giving us. It’s just another indicator of the slow death the GOP is…

I would never wish death on anyone, but I take solace in the fact that losing voters at a two to one ratio is going to bite the GOP in the ass much harder than they think it will.

I feel like you aren't grasping the situation in your fervor about email-side functions.

Which is all fine and good for a power user, but you’re asking a regular user to memorize countless variations of their email for login purposes. That’s just not feasible.

No. Ransomware would simply layer over whatever data it finds with its own encryption. The old encryption will still be there, and most anyone will still be kept from accessing it, but it won’t stop someone from keeping YOU from accessing it. Practicing safe internet skills such as refusing to click email links from…

I feel like asking everyone to make a new email every time they open an account anywhere is just going to fuck over the technical support industry even more than they already are.

For “identity verification” and to sell to advertisers, like most companies do. Just because T-Mobile doesn’t necessarily need it doesn’t mean they don’t want it.

Given I’ve never so much as been to T-Mobile’s website and have never signed up for a phone plan myself (instead always paying into someone else’s family plan), I think I’m good.

Everyone please give a solemn “Nice.” in his honor.

Which doesn’t change the fact that it’s entirely off-topic for an article about new details about a different game.

I used to stand by this company in terms of their hardware. I used their motherboards in all four of my best computer builds, but their quality has really sunk over the past six years or so. From bad RAM slots to rupturing capacitors and having to RMA the same motherboard model three times before giving up and…
