"Fujifilm highlights the ability to air-gap tape cartridges as a last defense for user data: “Given the sophistication of cyberattacks, magnetic tape is attracting increasing attention as a means of protecting data from threats such as ransomware.”"

I mean, it's plausible, yet I find it hard to believe this solely drives demand 5 times. Because if it does then what, companies were not using cold storage backups before?

i dont think thats what they menat. If Apple went full on with their series and movies content, winning awards left and right, rightfully so, then expectation here is they would release their own, exclusive game titles.

The west? As far as I am concerned, EU moves towards EVs as well. Not as fast as China does, but it does. It's the US that doubles down on ICEs (pun intended).

This is the equivalent of 2007 garbage CDSes.

And the privacy.

This is a niche in which I do t exactly think speed of development and new bling is particularly important.

Either thy drop encryption and just become Google Suite competitor, or they stick to the original differentiator. Looks like they want both and the customers for each are different targets.

Thanks, much appreciated!

I pay for YT premium but noticed the quality of recommendations is subpar yet I still end up wasting time watching it. So I decided I need to limit my feed to my subscribed videos only, which YT app makes annoyingly difficult.

How does HN handle this? I suppose downloading videos for consuming outside YT own app works, but what's the best solution for this, especially with Apple TV as a player?

As someone commented:

> The only reason I'm with Proton is security. If I wanted new features, and AI in my email I'd just stay with Gmail. They objectively do it better.

Same here and I'm looking to move at the end of my subscription.

Of course there's a law for it!

Thanks!

Problem with legacy code is that with time some of the bugs have become features without users even knowing it or remembering it.

I have same experience with Fable, it's absolutely ridiculous. It's not one, it's like 10 transgressions an hour, doing really stupid stuff, hallucinating, ignoring commands, gold-fish memory.

They're nerfing them real hard.

I personally think we'd be better off without summer time but with more timezones in EU.

And yet you never responded to my "login to macOS as root without password" argument.

That's convenient!

Did you notice how it's you who's reducing it to "What Jobs said" strawman to avoid addressing the actual arguments?

Things aren't decided by customers only. There are journalists, YouTubers and whole class of influencers who can decided something is shite on a whim. If enough people do so, the tide may change faster then you'd think. It happened to companies with cult following before. It's literally happening to Nike as we speak.

Apple has had more flops than hits in recent years. The Vision Pro, the Glass interface, the Duo hinge flaw that will almost certainly end up with a recall. The Apple Watch always listening, now the bangle touch display with nothing innovative to back it up?

They don't deliver like they used to. I was their fanboy for 10 years and they did deliver the quality and innovation consistently, I just don't see it anymore. The only thing they have going is the CPU.

Same position: I still very much appreciate this but seriously feel something is being lost here and the brand is slowly chipping away.

But there's a cost involved if you go against one of your most defended stances and offer nothing to back up that change of heart.

It's a negative on the brand because that sort of consistency is something that made Apple.

Have you considered battery in them?

How would it be worse? Linux distros patched things almost immediately and you'd get a notification, typically after a daily check.

How is that worse than NOT having any sort of fix from Apple?

I also assumed Apple had something up their sleeves that would make sense to everyone once shown.

Meanwhile they just added a touchscreen. No new hinge. No new UI. Not even a Pen support.

WTF are they doing?

But based on the Ad, they did not show own usage and it doesn't look like the hinge is 180. If that's correct, Apple went absolutely against its own beliefs for UX/UI.

Eh? Changes systems without consent? Is that the ONLY way to update a fatal flaw in system? Normal update channels don't work?

Besides, how does this relate to my Linux point, where no one installs anything without you knowing it?

Not really, no. HTTPS was used, except for log-in only. But cookies traveled unencrypted, so you had access to the account anyhow.

And not just GMail, this was virtually every service out there. From a perspective, it's laughable how bad security was back then.

> Well that "screw up" was so egregious that it should take at least a decade to regain any trust.

Do you use macOS? Because if you did, then how did you recover from them allowing anyone to straight-up log in as root without password? And then mess up the fix for that bug? That wasn't 2008, that was 8 years ago.

Things like this is why I moved back to Linux after 10 years on macOS.

With this many exploits and, presumably, actors having access to their own, unpublished 0-days, doesn't it make sense to at least run the browser in isolated environment nowadays? I insist on installing everything from the package repository, but Flatpak/sandboxing may make more sense for a browser that is the biggest attack surface on a day-to-day device.

I think they refer to low-tier Wildcat which, indeed, is more efficient than Apple's CPU in Neo, which they typically get compared against.

Kitty can do that now, though.
