Yeah, my opinions are still the same for their software quality, also, I think the hardware quality of some of their new products is getting worse.

Added an objective measure updating the post.

It reached ProcessInfo.ThermalState "serious" when writing notes with the pencil.

Author here, crashing is another issue I have with notes, but it's more sporadic.

> Apple's kit is still lightyears better than an equivalent Windows 11/Android setup

That's sadly true, but I think as users/power users we shouldn't settle for the "best of the worst", when it's clear that the direction of Apple software quality took a dramatic shift.

Author here, I used the Apple's Product Feedback page[0] countless times, I don't have the Feedback app since I'm running the _stable_ builds of all their OSes.

Author here, incredible how much more demanding applications (at least on paper) don't suffer from the same pitfalls of Apple's native apps.

By the looks of it, it's a widespread issue.

OP here, Apple Intelligence is not yet available in Italy. I don’t even want to imagine how my iPad will overheat with Apple “Intelligence”.

They already do something like that for the HEVC video codec[0]. It's only $0.99!

Re:I brought down a scamming operation with 15 bytes of PHP on Thursday September 07, 2023 @06:29AM (#37416969)
I don't think I did fine in the action, tbh. It was not my job to do such thing.
Re:I brought down a scamming operation with 15 bytes of PHP on Thursday September 07, 2023 @06:25AM (#37416944)
I don't have any mentor at the moment. I'll avoid doing such things and exercise more caution while handling this kind of matter.

Thank you for flagging

Author here. I did wrong. And I'm sorry I didn't stay on the right side of the law. I advise against doing the thing I did. I know it can be found on archive.org. I removed the post so people don't follow it for "guidance" on how to break the law. Sorry to everyone. I wish I could remove this post from hacker news. It is a dark page for me today.

They harvest username, email and passwords from users (If someone not too tech savvy uses the same email/password combination for more than one service they can access their accounts). The main function of this scam campaign is to steal "gas fees" money (no actual minting involved, looked at the code). They ask 0.15 ETH for each entry. In my case they could've got something around 6000$.

There are people that have fallen for this scam.

Re:Apple to occupy 90% of TSMC 3nm capacity in 2023 on Monday May 15, 2023 @09:47AM (#35948072)
I don't think this is the case. There are other semiconductor manufacturers, for example Samsung.

I'm really excited for point 3.

I really wish iOS opens up to accept a real terminal.

I know iSH exists but it runs using usermode x86 emulation.

Lot of crypto-bro involvement. Basically you can see a lot of BowTied(.*) social media accounts, all talking about instant growth, crypto, ...

I wouldn't touch this stuff with a 10 foot pole.

Just did a little "research" on op, it tingled an array of other red flags
