They’re claiming apple was greenwashing when they removed the charger. It removed cost and waste, it can be both green and good business.
I thought they were arguing that the move to usb c was also greenwashing, when it was the EU regulations, again to reduce waste. It is green, not greenwashing.
Was this article written with AI or just by someone who has no clue what they are talking about?
During his testimony on Thursday and Friday, Bloomberg reports Giannandrea took the time to mention a feature of Safari for iOS 17 that wasn’t reported on for its introduction. The quietly introduced feature allows users to set a different browser when using Private Browsing than the default.
“Different browser”, what they mean is “different search engine”. Even if this author was competent this article is a nothing-burger. Not sure how setting a different search engine in private mode has anything to do with the Google antitrust trial.
It’s a great way to expose yourself as not knowing literally anything about how enterprise computing works. Oh really, Microsoft isn’t going to dominate the corporate space in 10 years? So what’s this hot new technology that’s going to replace Active Directory, group policies, etc? Sure, a lot of software has been shifting towards platform agnostic and web apps, but as far as providing your employees with computers to work on, keeping them safe from malware, preventing employees from doing certain things on those computers, controlling who can access what…there is only one operating system that is the clear winner here. Not to mention the entire UNIX security model is severely limited. Being limited to 3 permissions for 3 different classes of users is not going to meet the demands of middle management people who obsess over what permissions they are willing to give employees.
I have a difficult time believing this. While I agree that Windows has definitely shit the bed and has been on a consistent downward spiral ever since they moved past Windows 7, I am also aware of the fact that organizations have a I can't think of the specific word for it they just have this organizational slothiness, an inability to innovate or change that is deeply ingrained into their structure.
Organizations treat software like concrete. You set it in place and then you never ever change it again until it completely crumbles and has to be drilled out with a jackhammer.
Even if every single person in the organization can you use Apple products or Linux products with perfect alacrity and competence, there are people who will not change unless they are forced to change and the force needed to make that change is just as large as the force needed for them to quit their current positions and go and work for someone else that is not changing.
The only way for this level of change to happen will be for an entirely new system to come into place that is easier to implement than maintaining the current system, and being as that many large industries still use 50 year old software I don't see that happening.
Bräsigkeit is the word you’re looking for. Being unjustifiably content with whatever you’re having and hostile to every form of change.
Problem is, modern software stacks are extremely fragile. Corporations run on IT, there’s literally nothing happening without a networked device doing something. Changing just a single part of this mess can bring the entire rats nest down. So businesses decide to rather pay for stability.
That’s actually oracle’s business model. It’s not the fastest, user friendliest or cheapest system. But it’s reliable and you can throw money at someone to make it do things. That’s very attractive to businesses. Known expenses are better than unknown risks.
End Users will be more supportive of MacOS over any flavor of Linux since the learning curve will be lower, and the general public is already supportive of Apple due to the market saturation of iPhones, whereas Linux is that thing that only hardcore nerd hackers can use.
Financing will be way more supportive of Linux over Macs because they can deploy it to the hardware they’ve already purchased, and a comparable PC device will be cheaper than the Apple alternative.
IT will just keep screaming no matter what option is chosen.
So unless Microsoft becomes really incompetent and abusive to Enterprise for a prolonged period, I doubt we’ll see the needle shift very much over the next decade.
I think the trend the JAMF CEO is seeing are enterprises who finally have a good way to incorporate Apple devices into their environment, and is confusing that for a trend of Enterprise shifting away from Microsoft.
I got a laptop with a USB-C port which supports external monitors. Does anyone know what I would need to use my iPad Pro as a second monitor with this port? Or would I have to use the HDMI port with peripherals like in the link?
If you’re somewhere where there’s sunlight, you could play on this instead of the switch. I don’t know about you, but I can’t see anything on my switch while playing in daylight.
Yeah. Travel. We were in a cabin for a weekend recently and I had my iPad and we had our switch, would’ve been nice to connect the two. The little screen on the switch is just too small for 2 player games.
Meaning in 3 years the price of components will be low enough for meta’s customers. But Apple customers will still be paying more for the better components in three years. So they can recycle this story in three years.
That second generation model is expected to cost hundreds of dollars less than the first one. It’s expected to be released in 2025.
Won’t have me complaining, there’s no way I’m willing/able to pay $3500 for a device like this, but a smaller supply due to manufacturing during the first year or two will still have the same effect of establishing a market and ironing out the kinks before its more mainstream.
This is why I save a copy of m content (music, TV and films mostly). Not so much to consume on a daily basis, but to have a record and copy of stuff that I want in "my library".
Badly needed in news. I’m trying to replace my news and current events with RSS and it’s though since it’s easy to get inundated with info and never “catch up”.
I downvote articles in News but still see things that pertain to what I downvote. I don’t even know what that feature does.
I use RSS very selectively, though. General news sites are too much of a firehose: instead of RSS I just picked a few favorite sources and check them occasionally – usually once in the morning/evening. I also read The Economist's briefs (requires a sub) to catch up on stuff I missed.
Here’s the thing, until they can put out a value better than a $400 PS5, I don’t feel like it matters what they do. They’re stuck in an extraordinarily thin price niche where on one end you’ve got lower-priced consoles that blow Macs out of the water in gaming, and on the other end you’ve got similarly-priced traditional gaming PCs and laptops which also blow Macs out of the water for gaming. The “not having games” problem is entirely secondary here, Macs aren’t competing as gaming machines. They’re doing all this work to make it easier for developers to put their games on the platform, but not a single thought has gone into attracting consumers. The magic mouse completely blows for gaming, that’s not even a question, so why does Apple still handicap the experience for people using third-party mice? Why hold something like smooth scrolling ransom if they want people to take the platform seriously? I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say maybe they’re just wanting to focus on controller players, great, so then consider that a controller doesn’t come with a Mac and that the same DualSense controller that Apple sells comes stock with that PS5.
It’s like they’ve got a small group of software engineers that want gaming on Mac to be viable but everyone else at the company missed the memo.
