What about my phone’s display, does that count as well?

It’s probably just meant to be for people that wouldn’t watch the animated series under any circumstance.

I’ve never watched One Piece the anime (yet) and I keep putting it off because of how fucking long it is. I don’t know how faithful the Netflix adaptation is, but I enjoyed it a lot; so much that I might finally start watching the anime.

I don’t expect those of us who like the animated Avatar to enjoy the live-action adaptation as much, but there are surely people who will, and they’re probably the ones this is for.

Although we have surely become more comfortable with cameras around us more often, if I remember correctly what freaked people out was that there wasn’t a visible indicator when Google Glass was recording.

Had Google added a tiny red LED next to the camera, it would’ve been different.

Your parents would get into a lot of trouble if their 6 yo kid predicted 9/11 lol

It’s a dumb scenario that only really affects US residents. The rest of the world figured out years ago.

but I would be fucking pissed if I started getting other people’s messages and notifications while having mine go to someone else.

Was that ever the case though?

I was under the impression that the spoofing the machine IDs part was only for “convincing” Apple servers that the request was from a valid Apple device, not that it would combine different people’s Apple ID’s messages in any capacity.

That part of my comment was a bit of an hyperbole tbh, but it’s also true that Apple just slaps the “Pro” moniker to their most expensive tier without always making them deserve it.

Before the iPhone 15 Pro series, there wasn’t really much “pro” in the Pro models. Same with the iPad Pro, sure they’re way nicer and higher end, but hardly anything “pro” about them.

And don’t get me started with the new baseline 14 inch MacBook Pro, with a regular M3 and 8GB of RAM.

Disclaimer: I’m in no way trying to defend Apple here.

Saying that X amount of RAM (or any other component spec for that matter) is not enough for a “Pro” computer is not really a universal truth or something, you can’t compare people running multiple instances of Docker with people doing photo editing or web dev for example.

Either of those can be “Pros” within their field, their hardware requirements doesn’t make them professionals or enthusiasts. I know I’m being a bit tangential here, but arguing about the “correct” spec por a Pro computer has always irked me.

That being said, I agree it’s ridiculous that Apple is shipping $1K+ computers with merely 8GB of RAM. Also, it’s known that Apple’s “pro” devices most of the time just mean they’re just their most expensive tier. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone brake-checking in my country. It’s almost always videos from the US.

They’re the de-facto option in most of the industries they have products for, if you decide not to use any of their products, you’re alienating yourself from your peers.

It is an issue among teens in the US.

My bet is that is Apple comments at all, they will talk about closing a security vulnerability rather than cutting off android users.

Aaaand you were right!

Yep; different circumstances though.

Beeper Mini was shut down by Apple, which allegedly identified the requests from Beeper Mini and terminated access to its servers.

Nothing Chat/Sunbird, on the other hand, was shut down from themselves, because they were caught mishandling user information. The method itself was not shut down, rather they discontinued their own implementation. (Fwiw, Beeper has a similar implementation on another product of theirs, which remains functional as far as I know. )

Isn’t it funny that every tech commenter was like “Apple would have to re-engineer their whole iMessage stack if they want to cut off access to Beeper Mini”?

If I understand correctly, there’s some server usage implicated in the delivering of notifications, so it makes sense that it costs.

That and the fact that it’s a for-profit company expecting to be paid for their product.

I read somewhere that RE for the sake of improving communications is allowed, or something along those lines.

There’s a case to be made about “buying” digital media and being able to keep the file in your local storage, that way it wouldn’t cost anything to the publisher when you play the content.

I understand the piracy implications, but most of the content is pirated anyway regardless of DRM, so the only ones affected are those who actually pay for content.

If I remember correctly, only a third of the whole payment was financed with Tesla shares as collateral.

Apple is the most profitable tech company in the world, they should be able to get more talent to allocate to work on both stability and new features, is not like they’re a small startup short on money.
