You’re right. I was thinking of the SSD.

It might be possible. The mini uses socketed ram, though the connector is revoltingly proprietary.

These articles always ignore the expense involved with building, running, and maintaining a nuclear power plant.

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.

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.

As someone once told me so I could remember how to spell it, “There’s ‘a rat’ in separate.“

And yet the wireless keyboard charging port isn’t on the bottom of the keyboard, is it?

Atari 5200.

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.

He’s supposed to retire soon. It’s time. He’s great at numbers and logistics, but not at serviceability or creativity. I’m hoping he’s replaced by Federighi.
