I recommend starting with the original series or Star Trek the next generation. Picard and Discovery are probably the worst places to start.

That doesn’t say the API doesn’t work. That says the API that dev chose is for when your device is going to run heavy background tasks (processing). This API is designed to run when the device has plenty of battery or is plugged in and isn’t doing anything else. That’s not unexpected, nor is it any different from Apple apps (you don’t want spotlight indexing or photo recognition to fire when you’re low on battery or in the middle of playing a game).

Uploading photos isn’t a heavy background task. There’s gotta be a way to do upload it as you take the photo. And I’d think sending new photos to an app would be done by a push notification or would work similar to receiving new emails in the background from the many third party mail apps that do this.

Again, I want to see what the suing devs claim and what Apple counters with.

Sounds spammy.

This makes me think about the TNG episode where they originally tried to backdoor pilot a Starfleet Academy series — it was the one where Wesley and his cohorts break the rules flying shuttles or something and someone gets killed (and they lie about it). I have to wonder how that series would have turned out if it had been picked up.

Probably a good idea. I wouldn’t want to deal with all the political arguments between relatives.

It’s strange that there would be so much documentation for an API that reportedly doesn’t work. Including a 2019 WWDC session explaining how to run in the background for more processor intensive tasks.

There’s even a recent step by step post on Medium explaining how to implement short or long background tasks. Doesn’t say anything about it not working.

If it really doesn’t work then I’d imagine the lawsuit will be won handily. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

Is this the feature you’re saying doesn’t work?

Not getting it. There’s nothing stopping you from storing your photos in Amazon Photos, or Google photos, or Dropbox, or whatever.

Download NetNewsWire. If you need it to sync with a windows machine and/or an android device, store your feeds in Feedly or a similar service. Learn to set your RSS reader to default to “reader mode” so you see the whole story and not just the first paragraph.

They’ll just put a sticker on it that says “contains milk”. This is like one of those Tesla recalls that is really just a software update done to meet federal or state requirements.

Some yes. Some no. And if I’m paying for news, there’d better not be any ads at all.

They exist to push ads. Even the premium version of Apple News has ads.

Tip: Your local public library offers the same electronic versions of magazines through an app called Hoopla. For free.

Apple News is one of the most poorly managed of all the Apple products. Whomever is in charge of it should be fired.

Both can be true.

They will need to show plagiarism in the results returned by AI. I bet that won’t be too difficult.

Also called churning.

What we do in the shadows isn’t an HBO property. Most of the other shows you listed were made years ago.

Check your cell service provider to see if they offer any spam blocking services. T-mobile has an app you can install that will block some of these calls for free.
