That suspiciously looks like something you could ship as a web app.

GEOS was amazing.

That doesn’t say the API doesn’t work. That says the API that dev chose is for when your device is going to run heavy background tasks (processing). This API is designed to run when the device has plenty of battery or is plugged in and isn’t doing anything else. That’s not unexpected, nor is it any different from Apple apps (you don’t want spotlight indexing or photo recognition to fire when you’re low on battery or in the middle of playing a game).

Uploading photos isn’t a heavy background task. There’s gotta be a way to do upload it as you take the photo. And I’d think sending new photos to an app would be done by a push notification or would work similar to receiving new emails in the background from the many third party mail apps that do this.

Again, I want to see what the suing devs claim and what Apple counters with.

Sounds spammy.

It’s strange that there would be so much documentation for an API that reportedly doesn’t work. Including a 2019 WWDC session explaining how to run in the background for more processor intensive tasks.

There’s even a recent step by step post on Medium explaining how to implement short or long background tasks. Doesn’t say anything about it not working.

If it really doesn’t work then I’d imagine the lawsuit will be won handily. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

Is this the feature you’re saying doesn’t work?

Not getting it. There’s nothing stopping you from storing your photos in Amazon Photos, or Google photos, or Dropbox, or whatever.

Both can be true.

They will need to show plagiarism in the results returned by AI. I bet that won’t be too difficult.

Also called churning.

What we do in the shadows isn’t an HBO property. Most of the other shows you listed were made years ago.

.gov.uk actually exists. So yes, countries outside of the US use .gov.

https://legislation.gov.uk

.gov (.gov.us) is used in the US to distinguish between commercial sites and sites run by state, federal, and local government institutions. It helps cut down on fraud. There are a few fucked up government sites in some states that use.com because ICANN isn’t doing their fucking job.

There’s also .mil for military sites. And .net for internet service providers. These were the original oldie domains. I’m not opppsed to adding .blog to the list, but I despise all of these confusing random cash grab domains that ICANN approves these days. “.social” is really just an org, and “.biz” is really just a com.

How about we just go back to .edu .gov .com .org?

Hmmm. His appearances at Trump rallies are starting to make a little more sense.

Proliferation of bots ≠ popular.

If that’s the case, then why does the wireless keyboard have the port on the back?

Most computers go into a deep power saving mode when they aren’t in use. Far less than a light bulb or power brick.

The military had a similar problem with fitness apps for a while.
