So you never connected this to your Apple account/ iPhone? And if so Apple couldn't detect that it is fake?
Did you forget the biggest asshole, Mr Apple?
Maybe or maybe not. But Youtube ads are now freely flowing through with MV3. That was the entire ruse.
Re:The irrelevance of test scores is greatly exaggerated on Wednesday October 26, 2022 @04:35AM (#33341199)
Sure, we can use only GPAs as long as all the applicants are graded on the same common platform. But today the GPA from one college is not exactly equivalent to the GPA from another one. The grading system as I heard is also not standard across US (leave alone international) with some instructors using absolute while others relative grading. So an A student from college X is not necessarily as good as a B student from college Y.

Not sure I understand your comment. If they are so good why would you exit the trade?
Re:Moving from Macbook to Linux on Friday November 20, 2020 @02:43PM (#25164088)
I'm in the market for a new one now. Are Thinkpad T/P series still the best for running Linux? How about the Dell XPS series which seem to have a better resolution and screen?
Re:Bye Bye, Ajit Pai: FCC Boss Will Soon Lose Top Spot on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @01:30PM (#25061206)
Not sure if even that's a real change. Since a new party president with their congress can change the law again. The only way to do this correctly is with bi-partisan support which seems to be lacking on more and more issues these days.
But did Apple reduce the price of iPhones by the corresponding amount they charge for these accessories? Otherwise it is just marketing bs for squeezing more money from the customers.
Re:What is the best dumb TV? on Friday October 02, 2020 @07:18PM (#24668013)
Haven't read the article but as in the title, you shouldn't look to get the best dumb tv. Look for the best tv you can get, and see if you can make it a dumb one.
Re:Indian robot climbs trees to harvest coconuts on Monday September 21, 2020 @11:32PM (#24550565)
There wouldn't be much space for a crane to move around the trees which would be spaced around 20 feet each I guess. Even a small crane takes up lot of real estate and also crush everything under its weight.

Maybe a flying drone cutter might work too.

Re:Walmart Plus takes on Amazon Prime on Tuesday September 01, 2020 @05:26PM (#24347271)
I don't listen to music but Amazon Prime video is not junk. They make high quality tv shows and have good international content. It's comparable to Netflix.
Good. We have recreated the first version of Digg/Reddit.
If it was not sanctioned by OpenTable, why should they compensate? If a government employee does this, should the government compensate?

>I can’t send my $800 phone to the manufacturer and pay some extra money to get it repaired like I could if this was a Samsung or Apple device.

It's not warranty or free repairs he is asking for isn't it? He is asking for paid support.

Re:Happiness is a Boring Stack on Wednesday October 26, 2016 @02:52AM (#12794436)
Thanks to you and your team. That's very impressive especially considering only 5% (max 15%) load on the CPU. Are the systems underutilized in this case, if so is there a reason?
Re:Introducing .NET Standard on Monday September 26, 2016 @02:32PM (#12584375)
_packages are awesome. npm is weird and hellish because people write single-function packages, but that isn't the case in other ecosystems_

I have no knowledge of how NuGet works but is there anything in NuGet that is stopping the developers from writing/using single line packages?
