It'd be funny if this were the thing that catalyzes everyone to unionize.

AM radio is a tried and true technology. It's super simple. I think at the very least they should come to a compromise in which certain emergency frequencies are available/accessible in all cars.

My best guess is that Apple won't do it because their plan is to phase out passwords entirely. That's what that whole FIDO Alliance (https://fidoalliance.org) is all about.

And 1Password is part of that too: https://blog.1password.com/1password-is-joining-the-fido-all...

I think that ultimately a password tool needs to be available on multiple platforms, like 1Password. Having it just be on Apple stuff just isn't gonna work for the many Windows and Linux machines I begrudgingly have to interact with.

I don't think being able to scan this is completely new. Perhaps this specific technique is, but I've heard of this being done at least once previously in the past decade.

I would probably buy this right now.

No thanks. I'm done with Jack and I'm done with Elon. Mastodon is great and it's already starting to feel like home.

Don't need anymore drama from these reckless people.

Discovered this book in my elementary school's library when I was a kid in the mid-1990s. It became my favorite book, and it remains so to this day: I absolutely love it!

Well this sounds incredibly horrible in every conceivable way.

I use an iPhone and have never experienced any of these issues with blurriness. Do they have specific examples? As others have said, I think I'm good with the way things are right now.

I agree both about the keyboard feature and 3D Touch in general. Just because some people can't figure out how to use right-click or force touch, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there for the people who can figure it out. I feel like it shouldn't have been removed and that the experience of editing text is objectively worse now than it used be. I used that keyboard feature the exact same way all the time.

Fortunately, there's user choice in phones. So get an Android device if you want to run Google's stuff? I mean, security is one angle, but let's talk power and memory usage. You're asking for Apple to allow Chrome's engine (because their app is on the App Store today right now) -- the giant well-known resource hog routinely toasting MacBook Pro users' thighs -- onto their fanless hyper-performant devices. Setting aside privacy and monopolistic concerns, I just don't see how that's a great idea.

This is blowing my mind.
