Insiders is $5 a month, for the one app? For $5 more I can have 260+ apps with Setapp. It doesn’t feel like great value for money. Have you thought about one off payments for maybe a year of updates?

Would you be able to elaborate on the ones you’ve seen?

> I've read so many accounts of people with Ring footage of a theft who tried to give it to the police and they refused to even look at it.

It’s even worse than that. I showed them two sets of camera footage of staff in my retail shop stealing from the cash register, and tallied it up my accounts to prove the amount…and CPS said “not enough evidence”. The camera footage was so clear you could see the 20 on the notes.

Swiping down on my home screen gives search suggestions but no inline results. Clicking on those takes me to Kagi in safari.

Swiping down doesn’t work, it’s in-browser only in the address bar. As for in safari, I don’t get options, but if the extension is enabled it redirects the search to Kagi.

Kagi search has an extension. Maybe you could do something similar. It’s on the iOS store under kagi-search-for-safari.

Just a note about Starlink: they use what they call “cells”, so you can’t move around with your Starlink, which is a shame. Maybe they’ll create a plan for that at some point.

Funny thing about software is it costs money to produce and maintain. Another funny thing, is it runs on hardware which also isn’t free to buy or maintain. At Apple scale, that means for every new app or update, they need to compile it, scan it, pass it off for checks and then distribute it globally. That will be done many many many times a second. On top of that they have to maintain a payment system that I’ve not once seen go down or had a problem with. Then they need to handle fraud, payment refund requests through support etc.

All I’m getting at, is it’s naive to boil what they do for that 30% down to “they automate some software”.

These problems can drive you nuts sometimes. I recently spent a day trying to figure out why I could use webrtc between node processes (with an automated playwright script) on my local machine, but the docker container versions refused to see my virtual sound card or mic.

Oh...I missed that small note that said “Chrome will only allow this over https, unless it’s localhost”!

I think the difference stated above, was that for messaging, calls and other phone related activities it’s not sent. I’m not sure you can say the same for Google.

“More tests means more cases”. Something smells here.

I read that as Kanyesian.

YouTube does exactly this as well. In fact, some YouTubers have had emails demanding money or they’ll flood YouTube with copyright infringement notices on their videos and so lose their income.

This is nothing to do with Twitter choosing to do this to Trump, this is all about how the system works.k
