GM: Kills CarPlay and Android Auto, and aggressively, stays away from the bargaining table, lays off striking workers.
Ford: Says they will continue to support infotainment options drivers want, stays at the bargaining table, and isn’t trying to put the screws to striking workers. Also, Ford’s EVs are nicer looking.
I’ve been in Kaiser for years, and even though my wife has worked for PPO insurers, and head up chronic care solutions for a large one, she is on my Kaiser HMO plan. The cost for care is simply much much cheaper going through Kaiser.
The overall organization is not-for-profit, and physicians are on salary, and that shows when the bill comes. That said, they’re pretty notorious for struggling with the lack of physicians and therapists in the US.
IMHO, I’ve got a lot of issues with Kaiser, but when it works, it works really well. When I needed major surgery they let me get multiple opinions with multiple surgeons at different hospitals, and I picked the surgeon that felt had the best plan and track record. Then they made sure to set me up with long term care with a PT, nutritionist, specialist in my condition, etc. That plus a week in the hospital cost me $50 or something. Maybe $75 with drugs. No way my company’s equivalent PPO plan would’ve done that.
This article makes it seem like Ive was the design lead for the iPhone’s revolutionary UX. But he was mostly heading up industrial design at that time.
Yeah, since beta 1 people have been reporting some of these overheating issues with apps that have not been updated for the new OS. Meta slept on this for like 2 quarters.
Also, the hardware seems really unlikely if the pro and non pro logic boards are heating up (different chip, different enclosure material), as well as old iPhones and iPads running 17.
Looks like no one in the press decided to take a day to see if this was reproducible on other phones.
True, Zach is one of the better YouTubers, and he does make a good point.
If you got the Max Pro 15, and not the 15 Pro, or 15 Plus, you may want to proceed with caution if when you try as hard as you can to break it like a glow stick.
I bought the regular pro so can continue to do this without worry.
They’re only 5w. And you need them aligned correctly to get the full power from them. So they’re basically perfect for warming up your phone and giving you 2% more battery.
Wireless car chargers suck right now. Qi should fix that a little bit. But, it will probably take a long time for cars to adopt that. Car manufacturers are slow AF.
Apple has acknowledged user complaints that iPhone 15 and 15 Pro phones are overheating, reports Forbes, but said that contrary to speculation, it has nothing to do with the phone’s hardware design. Forbes noted an update to Instagram has already rolled out with version 302, released September 27th, to address some of the...
This is almost certainly an iOS 17 issue, and it looks like it’s going to be patched soon.
Blaming the titanium doesn’t make sense. People are also reporting the issue on the iPhone 15 models that are all aluminum and are running an iteration of the old A16.
This will be a non issue in a few days.
Edit: People are also reporting that these apps heat up the logic board of older hardware, iPads, etc. This looks like a good old fashioned case of a bugs in a new n.0 OS and apps that have not been updated to run smoothly in a new OS.
Yeah, let’s be real. It’s something that isn’t impacting most people, a lot of folks in the various Apple forums can’t reproduce it, and it’s going to be patched shortly.
Of the stupid shit Apple has done, this is pretty low on the totem poll.
How is it that? It looks the main issue is a patchable OS bug that will be addressed in 17.1, or sooner.
It’s unlikely to be a hardware design flaw. It seems to be sporadic, and hit both the new enclosure materials and CPU, as well as the 15’s with the last generation CPU and old aluminum enclosure.
My point is that, unlike the iPhone 4, this likely isn’t a silicon or enclosure issue. If it was, it wouldn’t be hitting the old repurposed last gen stuff too. We’re also getting reports of apps in iOS 17 heating up older devices and iPads. It’s the new OS, SDKs, and certain apps that haven’t been updated for iOS 17.
The Ti in the new pros is just a band around some aluminum, and this issue is being reproduces on the aluminum phones, old stainless steel phones, iPads, etc.
We have people on YouTube reproducing these thermal issues or iOS 17 and iPad OS 17 devices. The new aluminum phones, old stainless phones, iPads, etc.
There are clearly issues with iOS 17 and some apps that needed to be updated to play nice with the new OS.
A lot of people are experiencing this because Instagram is one of the apps that was heating up logic boards with iOS 17. And in the case of the Insta example, Instagram should’ve caught this earlier. Meta clearly fucked up. People have been reporting this bug in the betas for months, it’s easy to reproduce, and they should know that auto update is aggressive AF on iOS https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c4ece311-edb7-428f-9ee2-ad932447025a.jpeg
The article does a shit job of explaining why certain apps are a problem.
These are apps that have not been updated to play nice with iOS 17. And in the case of the biggest offender, Instagram, there are people in Apple forums reporting overheating issues with iOS 17 Instagram for 5 months.
Meta was incompetent. This bug is easy AF to reproduce. I find it hard to believe that no one at IG was running a dev beta or public beta. Every other phone in the valley is running these damn betas. Somehow they did not prioritize compatibility work for the latest yearly major release.
These betas and SDKs are provided 5-6 months before major OS releases. WWDC betas and the final release drop around the same time every year. This is like meta being surprised that Christmas came around at the end of December.
Maybe. As a developer I’ve found Apple reasonably accessible and cooperative if you find issues with new flagship products or features they’re developing.
If it’s really important, and you have a nice app or something prominent in a category, it’s not hard to get on calls with them, or get a meeting at their campus to talk shop on a solution. I’ve been able to, and the apps that I have in the store are by no means Instagram-level popular.
Good question. Hopefully we’ll get some insight in update release notes for these apps. Although, Instagram’s patch release notes today were “bug fixes and performance improvements.” Five words. No more details.
Looks like it’s an OS bug that is causing some processes to cycle over and over and over. Looks like it’s just a bug fix and making sure 3rd parties have properly updated for iOS 17.
I’ve definitely received my fair share of bullshit from stupid reviewers. That said, when your company size or ranking in the App Store reaches a certain point, or your app is using some new parts of the SDK that they want to show off, then they AppStore marketing managers take your calls. The marketing folks can then help to coordinate meetings with their engineers.
The apps I work on are not as popular as Instagram, but I do work for a fortune 50 company, so they respond to my emails or iMessages. And if they respond to my janky ass, Meta can DEFINITELY get them on the horn.

This likely won’t impact the credit rating. That is the debt ceiling debate. The US will continue paying its foreign debts.
A lot of folks mix up the debt ceiling and budget debates. They’re related, and both involve the GOP playing with fire, but they have different consequences.
Although it’s scarier when people think the debt ceiling is just another stupid GOP budget shutdown. Not paying debts could likely kick off a global depression because US bonds back a lot of the global economy.
We’ve seen what happens when a couple banks default, and it’s scary as shit. If the entire US defaulted…. Oof. That would be history-book level bad.
There are lot of things you can say about the US Supreme Court, but “in Apple’s pocket,” is not one anyone really says. Apple lost their most recent case, Apple v Pepper with the SCOTUS.
Miro is better. I have enterprise licenses for a million of these damn things, and Figma’s licensing / sharing is one of the worst. Guests can only edit for 24 hours, and you have to renew edit access every day unless you give them a paid seat.
Miro also has a slightly more robust feature set, also has lots of fun things in it, and is also fast.
Figma likes to enable free shit, not allow admins to restrict its spread, let an org adopt it, then start charging. Really shady business practice.
I think it kind of depends on what you’re using it for. Lucid started with diagraming as their primary use case. Miro was created to be a more performant version of Mural, and was focused on remote affinity mapping and white-boarding.
Yeah, but at the end of the day, CarPlay is kind of like the Moto ROKR. Apple software on someone else crappy hardware.
Auto manufacturers may know how to make a reliable power train, but most automakers kind of suck at infotainment and software. Hell, many just farm that shit out to companies like Harmon and say “here’s the budget and the size of the hole in the dash, go.”
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for asking a simple question.
Could be a number of things. Some people are begrudgingly in unions. They kind of need to be in the union to get the job, but they might not like the idea of organized labor.
Some people might be tight on cash and might also need their regular wages at the moment.
