This is the myth that everyone is going to be screwed by. Nobody is going to be legally responsible for malware that ends up on your device.
The only difference is Apple has the $$ and incentives to remove it as soon as it's brought to their attention (assuming it's actual malware that may cause large financial loss not just copyright infringement).
Alt-stores will be ridden with malware and nobody is going to be legally responsible for it. We can just hope the alt-stores that end up existing have incentives to keep them "clean".
Correct, which is why allowing no-store app delivery would unleash an even greater chaos. In a world where any random website can trick a user into downloading an app via sideloading, there's no hope to protect people from 'unclean' software.
Not necessarily true. Sometimes new prescriptions can take some time to adjust to if it's been a long time since the last prescription. Once you settle in they are 100% rock solid but it can be a few days of weirdness as your eyes adjust.
The biggest thing is that your eyes will naturally "strengthen" to make up for loss of acuity with an old prescription and a new prescription will correct that immediately and thus you end up with a mismatch that takes awhile to settle.
You're basically asking the EU to compel Apple to open up their platform and all their R&D that goes into their toolchains to developers for free at no charge.
We have the option to make the laws such that this cute little rent-extracting business model you defend gets companies who follow it shut down for being criminal enterprises.
This gets brought up every time someone talks about macOS and MacBooks.
Another thing people don’t take into account is the time and thus money saved not dealing with this crap.
Building PCs from raw parts is annoying for heaps of people. Warranties are annoying, making sure all the parts fit together is annoying. You’ll spend the extra cost in short order just making sure you have the right parts.
Also resell value of MacBooks is very very good. When it’s time to upgrade you typically are losing 20-30% of purchase price at around the 2-3 year mark. Where as PCs are hard to give away at times.
Everyone has their own needs but Apples machines for me are a work tool, I need a laptop and nobody comes even close to the quality or peeper dollar spent in the form factor.
They do in the sense that socialised medicine wont cover all treatments. In New Zealand some things are not "funded" but you can still get private cover to extend to cover state of the art treatments and be able to skip the queue.
The difference is, that insurance costs a fraction of what it costs in the USA because the basics are all covered and the cost of providing state of the art care is drastically reduced since the hospital facilities/bed are still covered publicly.
What why ? The term that you work for Vercel should be at the top so that people realise this isnt a neutral 3rd party but a company paid spokesperson.
It's good practice to introduce strong biases at the top of articles so readers can take that into consideration right away.
The article they are responding to did precisely that on their second paragraph:
> I’ve been using Remix since it was first released in 2020. I loved it so much I joined the team for 10 months to help get the community going and now I recommend and teach Remix on EpicWeb.dev. [1]
To be completely fair, it's a response to someone who wrote about why to use Remix and not NextJS. The author of said post was apparently the CTO for Remix. Both sides are doing DevRel here
This 100%, we're not done with batteries yet as a society and it's probably one of the most heavily funded industries because the opportunity to strike "gold" with good battery tech is too large to ignore.
Lithium wont be used forever and and downsides to batteries will slowly be eroded until we wonder why we ever used petrol in the first place.
As far as the grid goes, in my eyes rooftop solar is going to provide a huge amount of the power generation required for EVs. We're not there yet but the price of solar keeps dropping rapidly and you'll see a shift in messaging from "discounts and charge overnight when demand is low" to "discounts and charge during the day because generation is high".
I could already supply an EV with all the power required for my trips inside the country. 7700 KWh surplus from solar this year and we're not done yet. That's a multiple of what an EV would use for my current mileage (which is a fraction of what it was pre-COVID, and to be fair I also use my (e-)bikes a lot more than before).
Fuel definitely goes bad, at least once the storage is in vehicles. The petroleum industry keeps peddling all this FUD about how awful batteries are.
The difference is batteries can be improved (and there's a tooooon of $$$$ pouring into this problem) and they are improving. Petroleum is a dead end while batteries, solar, and electrical grids have a bright future and lost of room for growth.
What parts of Bun were you using? All the features I've used (that work*) are faster, the hard part is the compatibility is still lacking so turning on the Bun runtime over just using Node is tricky.
