Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you’re a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it’s time…

Sure, he wasn’t an engineer, so no Jobs never personally “invented” anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

Yep crApple is the one pushing for the shorter SSL certificate length too. Their just adding headaches to everyone’s lives for no good reason.

Shorter SSL certificate length means more security
Even Mozilla’s pushing it

Yeah and having a 512 character password is more secure than 52.

I’m going on what I heard from Security Now but it is my understanding that apple was the only one pushing for this and the others just voted to approve even though apple was never able to present a convincing argument for why it needed to be shortened.

Do you have a link to an explanation of this? I am curious to learn more

Apple’s ARM SoC’s were some of their best work yet in my view.

Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It’s a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture…

But it didn’t though. Old apps work just fine. There are plenty of reasons to complain about Apple - but the way they changed architecture twice and did so with impressive backwards compatibility both times is not one of them.
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Officially, it didn’t, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.
So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 5-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That’s not impressive backwards compatibility.
