You guys need to find a new name to call people.
Epic were the bad guys in this scenario. Why are you licking the boot of epic?

You’re missing that you don’t make the OS, and the OS maker doesn’t have to make a way for you to be able to install whatever you want. Sony doesn’t let you install Switch games on your PS5, do they? Should they be forced to?
- Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store 8 hours ago:
GaMeRs aren’t going to do shit to Apple lol. Fortnite hasn’t been on iPhones for years and Apple hasn’t been hurt one bit.
If an app that is being used to coordinate a rebellion takes off the US government can……
lol

That’s how stuff works. Different people have different experiences. I had to get my pixel 3 replaced twice under warranty for a known screen issue. The pixel 7a, believe it is, is currently in the middle of a mass battery failure issue that really should end in a recall, where they’re refunding people often more than they even paid for the phone when it happens. Every flagship pixel up until the 5 had major hardware issues.
iPhones have, historically, been the best phones you could get in terms of being built to last, which is also why Apple have such long software support for them.
- Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store 8 hours ago:
Not necessarily. iPhones used to be more than pretty much every Android flagship phone.
- Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store 8 hours ago:
iOS is also trash vaporware
I don’t think you understand what that word means.
- Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store 8 hours ago:
Fortnite hasn’t been on iOS for like 5 years already at this point, anyone who was going to change ecosystem because of Fortnite is long gone.
There are so many platforms that Fortnite is on that it not being on iOS isn’t an actual issue.
- Comment on Apple executives ban Fortnight from the App store 8 hours ago:
their iPhone is preventing them from playing the game
Epic are the ones preventing Fortnite from being available on iPhones. They have no one to blame but themselves for the way they planned to intentionally break the App Store rules and had a lawsuit ready to go when it was rightly removed from the store.
They fucked around and found out.

Not true. As long as you keep updating your browsers etc you’re going to be generally ok.

SHOW ME SOME EVIDENCE THAT IT HAD AUTOSAVE TO YOUR LOCAL DEVICE.
Again - it has autorecover which essentially does the same thing to a degree, but no I have not been able to find a single source saying it ever had autosave to local. I don’t remember any other version having it.
- Comment on Second Fortnite submission to the App Store still stuck in limbo - 9to5Mac 1 day ago:
Gee, I wonder why?
Apple are under no obligation to accept Fortnite back on to their store. I highly doubt they will, and if what someone did what epic did to them to my company, hell would freeze over before I let anything of theirs back on my store.
- Comment on Apple adds red exclamation mark warnings on EU App Store listings for apps using third-party payment systems, not Apple's “private and secure payment system” 1 day ago:
Believe it or not, after 20 years of people buying things on iPhone apps, people will assume it’s safe and easily refundable when things go wrong, only to find out that because they paid for something through a dodgy payment gateway in an app on the App Store their credit card details have been stolen.
This will happen. There are thousands of online stores that insecurely handle credit card details. It might only be 0.5% of people, but it will happen and anyone saying it won’t has clearly not paid attention to the cybersecurity world.

Do you not see the irony in that?
You just spent pages attacking Microsoft for allegedly removing something that never existed. Maybe it’s time for you to re-evaluate.
- Comment on If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built? 1 day ago:
Taxes are rarely ever removed, because the government has gotten used to spending that extra tax.

That’s fine from a security point of view, even if a bit obnoxious.
People will get their payment details stolen due to the changes around payments. That’s 100% guaranteed. Apple are just pointing out that it’s not their problem.

And why does no one want to give financing to the company?
Yeah doesn’t really make much sense if their new tech is as grounbreaking etc as they say. Even oil companies would try and buy them if it was.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
I have had a paid Office subscription and used OneDrive since it was SkyDrive, so I honestly couldn’t tell you from personal experience - which is why I’m using google and also asking any and all AIs I have access to. I have found zero evidence of AutoSave being added and working with local save files. AutoRecover yes, AutoSave no.
I’m happy to be proven wrong though, so feel free to provide some links showing that it did.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.
I haven’t seen any evidence of it ever working outside of OneDrive. I’ve been using Word since it came out.
Yes, they added a feature for paying customers. That’s not “bizarre and shitty”. That’s pretty much the industry standard. Paying users get more and better features.
Microsoft is a despicable company whose board of directors should be guillotined.
Ok well you’re clearly not to be taken seriously on issues like this.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
Ok so it’s on iOS, but has it ever been on the desktop versions and then removed?
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
If what I’m reading in Microsofts support forums are correct, there was never an auto-save-to-local function in Word though. There was the auto-recover, but that’s not the same and I believe still exists.
Auto-save seems to have been added as a onedrive-only feature.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
Is that true? I can’t really confirm that one myself as everywhere I use Word it is logged in with a license.

Just an FYI - you don’t have to throw away computers that can’t upgrade past Windows 10. They will keep working.

AI isn’t just hype though, especially not in ways that Microsoft as a huge service provider can use and provide it.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 1 day ago:
How so? I’ve used multiple office products every day at work for the last 20 years and have only noticed them getting better and better. If I could have any version of any of them to use right now it would be the current ones.
