TheGrandNagus , (edited ) to Technology in Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

Ok cool, but what's the relevance?

Some batteries might be bad, so Apple gets to needlessly cripple your repaired phone's performance, unless you go through Apple?

How could you possibly argue that's not cunty behaviour?

If someone gets a repair with a non-OEM battery, and it turns out to be not good, then either let it shut down or throttle the performance as normal. If it turns out to be fine... don't. The device is capable of doing battery checks.

I really don't understand how you can defend Apple deliberately sabotaging performance over a part they know to be working fine.

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in Nvidia overtakes Apple as the second most valuable company.

Not really, the wording completely changes who is at fault.

When you say Wayland doesn't work for Nvidia, it's blaming Wayland, but Linux/Wayland isn't at fault here, Nvidia is for providing drivers that aren't fit for purpose.

If Nvidia drivers broke on Windows, nobody would say "Windows is broken for Nvidia", they'd say the opposite, but with Linux we act like the problem is Wayland, for some reason.

If by "incorrectly done" third party repairs, you mean ones that don't subscribe to apple's repair programme that insists on you giving up user's personal information, only using Apple parts both in the device and for the disassembly, and paying Apple fees, then sure.

You even have to disclose financial and tax information of your entire business to Apple. Plus they put restrictions on repairs - i.e no repairing individual components on PCBs, you have to replace the whole board.

But that's not how third party repairs should be done and you'd be massive cunt for championing that kind of bullshit business practice.

You should probably rephrase that to say Nvidia crashes and works poorly with Wayland.

Saying Wayland works badly with Nvidia is a bit like saying Linux doesn't support Photoshop, rather than the other way around.

I'm referring to Nvidia's dogshit Linux drivers.

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in iPhone 16 Leaks: Apple Might Dethrone Samsung With The Thinnest Bezels Yet

And stereo front speakers, IIRC

Respect to Sony for that. As one of the biggest sellers of Bluetooth audio equipment, they're one of the ones that would gain most from nobody being able to use 3.5mm

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in 512MB ram is nothing now

Or show calendar entries/weather for the day.

Anything would be better than landfill.

Yeah the problem isn't so much that apple did that (a slower but functional device is infinitely better than a device that doesn't function), but that they didn't communicate it to users, and even after a battery replacement, the phone would often stick to being throttled (not sure if this was just for third party repairs or all repairs, but either isn't acceptable).

Good guy CCP, breaking us free of government control, must be so good to live under them 🥰 more CCP control pls 😍🥰🥰

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in 42 key points of the secret #EUGoingDark surveillance plan for the new EU Commission

So fucking annoying that this shit gets rejected time and time again and yet they're allowed to just keep on asking and asking.

Because they're notoriously fickle and bug/breakage-prone.

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in xaitax/TotalRecall: This tool extracts and displays data from the Recall feature in Windows 11, providing an easy way to access information about your PC's activity snapshots.

To be fair, Data was designed to be like a human, and was made in the image of his creator. He has a number of design decisions that are essentially down to his creator wanting to create something like a human. Including that which you describe.

Data was never intended to work like a PC, it's very normal that he can't just wirelessly interface with stuff.

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

Only two days after his job became on the line.

Call me a pessimist, but that timing seems suspect to me.

TheGrandNagus , to Technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

I obviously meant tiling window manager setups, like you described.

And no I didn't say using the terminal means you're a showoff, I have it open all throughout my workday.

I was saying that TWM setups are poor in terms of usability. The Gnome workflow is perfect for people with ADHD. I can't really think of anything better.
