It’s a myth that Apple waits to release features until they’re “polished “.

The US swimmer Lia Thomas, who rose to global prominence after becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title in March 2022, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the court of arbitration for sport – and with it any hopes of making next month’s Paris Olympics....

Doesn’t that depend on when they start?

Pretty much all media are in on the great American scam to take this country away from us. But, they’ll be among the first to burn so I don’t get what their end game is.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

I know people want this. I do to. But SMS going away will suck. Even in 2024, there’s still that moment you have every now and then that you can’t get a call out but a sms will make it out just fine. SMS rides along with the carriers ping signal. It’s not part of the data signal.

anon_8675309 ,

SMS has one feature nothing else does. It’s not data per se. if you can ping a tower you can get a message out. You can’t do that with anything else.

Makes a difference when you’re out in BFE.

On May 26, a user on HP’s support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

I really hope the damage is done. They need to be knocked down a peg. This all should have been done first. Whoever thought this was a good idea is horrible.

People are sick of Elmo. And Tesla’s designs are stale.

But they don’t acknowledge that he’s a criminal. It’s a political witch hunt, remember.

From first supply date.

I’d be more impressed if the did it from last supply date.

They still sell the 13, so you’ll only get 3 updates, not 5 with this announcement.

Bad dad. You just don’t do that to your daughter.

Bad, bad, dad.

I’ve been fortunate. With same company for 12 years and am above market rate enough that I dont care to look elsewhere.

The wealthy ruling class have siphoned off nearly all of the productivity gains since the 70s. AI won’t stop that machine. If half of us die of starvation and half the remaining half die from fighting each other for cake, they don’t care.

So… media has to simultaneously report the truth AND let liars lie?

Good grief!

Gross. You can see the car bump upwards as he ran over the kid. Just gross.

I think all this is eventually going to backfire on Israel. There’s breaking a bully’s nose in retaliation, and then there’s killing him and chopping him up and setting his pieces on fire, and then burning down the school with everyone in it and, and, and…

They made one-of-a-kind quilts that captured the public's imagination. Then Target came along (apnews.com)

Over the past two decades, Gee’s Bend quilts have captured the public’s imagination with their kaleidoscopic colors and their daring geometric patterns. The groundbreaking art practice was cultivated by direct descendants of slaves in rural Alabama who have faced oppression, geographic isolation and intense material...

They have a fiduciary responsibility to honor shareholders trust. Not necessarily to maximize profits.

Because getting people riled up in culture wars gets their mind off of real issues. It’s the ol street magician trick of getting people to look at their right hand while the left hand is stealing your watch.

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

The credit card companies should have invested heavily in micropayments. If I could just pay a tiny non subscription fee for a bit of media I would do that in a heartbeat.

Yes. Because compound interest is exponential. At 10, 20, 30 years you have 2X, 4X, and 8X your money. Assuming about 7 pct interest.

If you start now, you can get away with putting a few hundred a month away. If you wait until you’re 40 or 50 you have to be putting thousands away per month.

I was with them (because one SHOULD be able to exercise their constitutional rights) until they started breaking shit.

We have a right to peacefully assemble, not act like idiots.

Now, I still wish this was handled differently. They really should have tried to just go after the idiots and not everyone.

Like it or not that’s the only right you’re entitled to.
