“What should we do? Just PAY the developer for the feature? Nah, we’ll just continue to file lawsuits and eventually settle in the inevitable class action from buyers which will certainly not be more than what we would have spent just licensing it in the first place”

Look, I’m not one for patent trolling, but this is pretty blatant on Apple’s end and as a Series 9 owner it’s annoying because it’s a feature I upgraded for that I’ll lose access to just because they don’t want to be told they’re wrong. Such corporate bullshit.

Peace on earth and goodwill towards man.

Nah, fuck that.

I appreciate the response, because this is actually fascinating. As much as I think America’s system is broken, it’s more to do with political spend and gerrymandering than literal centuries of aristocracy deciding it.

Honestly that’s the thing about when the UK talks shit about US politics - yeah, we have our problems but yall VOTED to destroy your economy and close your borders to your own detriment and you currently have a revolving door PM where one of them got outlasted by a head of iceberg.

They are going back to the days of a $100 proprietary hdmi cable and annual maps subscription with ads for your own safety

My mama always said life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what country’s sovereignty you’re gonna violate.

Micromanagers and building owners

I was going to say, I sold phones a while back too for 5 years. It’s amazing how much stuff people leave on their phones and that you don’t want to see. And yeah, you’re saying they should know but many don’t. Every trade in things specifically says to wipe the device prior to trade in and gives instructions on how to do so.

That’s not polyamory, friend. That’s called cheating.

Honestly… this is kind of how that might happen? Defense spending and research has always been the vanguard of technological development and then it’s waylaid to private sector development and R&D.

Once it’s proven effective they can then reverse engineer it to do something constructive.

Because the US can’t be bothered to find non blow-uppy projects until later.

Id say this is one of the most measured and diplomatically appropriate statements I’ve heard regarding the situation and couldn’t agree more.

Saying this is antisemitism is a stretch.

After saying they won’t

Bibi not using available intelligence to avoid the attack?

I don’t understand, why would he want that! What would he have to gain?

(Obvious sarcasm)

You get the dress but have to subscribe to Dress Cloud for $50/mo and if you decide to discontinue it the dress randomly turns into a 90s era WB shirt and locks itself that way until you re-up

Maybe I AM a haunted house.

Wait, how much money does the Catholic Church have?

They’re going to build it in 2026 but it’ll still somehow be running on XP.

Striking and the French. Such an iconic duo.
