Also why do Apple fanbois think that the only companies that exist are Apple, Samsung, and Dell?
Probably because the market share numbers for phones in the US look like:
Nobody cares about anyone in the last category.

CLOWNSTRIKE.COM was registered in 2012, last updated 2023-10-30, and is held by "CSC Corporate Domains", the same agency named in the article (and the same registrar that holds CROWDSTRIKE.COM itself)
It's pretty common for these agents to register any potential parody names, but with the proliferation of gTLDs many slip through (.lol wasn't a valid TLD in 2012)
This, again. One can't help but assume one of the reasons Google Stadia has had such a "meh" reception by the public so far is because everyone assumes it's will be yet another Google product where the early adopters will be stabbed in the back.
At least with regards to developers, you don't have to assume
This concern — that Google might just give up on Stadia at some point and kill the service, as it has done with so many other services over the years — was repeatedly brought up, unprompted, by every person we spoke with for this piece.
You can mail it to apple for $7 or so, but that doesn't factor in not having the phone for a few days (I assume the independent shops will do it same-day). From a pure price perspective, that may or may not be on par with what the local shops charge. It's lower than the price I quoted, and other places seem to charge around $80 or so, but smaller shops may charge less (for whatever reason, most places want you to fill out a form or call to get a quote).
To be clear, I don't think Apple's software lock is a good thing, and I wish their phones (and other phones that copy them) had more user-serviceable parts. But availability aside, I don't think their in-store prices are unreasonable, given the work required, consumable parts (seals and glue), and the retail price of decent batteries.
Apple: $49 to replace an iPhone 8 battery
Somewhere else:
Granted, the battery is $29.99 at iFixit (including tools and gasket), but $20 doesn't leave much for labor cost (either DIY or elsewhere)
For $200 anywhere else, toss in another $30 and you could have a 2TB SSD.
Where is that? The Samsung SSD 970 EVO 2TB is $550 on Amazon, and Dell charges over $1200 to upgrade their Precision 5540 to a 2TB NVMe SSD (their current Latitude models don't show it as an option)
Name one. If it can be done in hardware, it can be done in software. It might not be in real-time, but nothing in the rules requires real-time monitoring ability.
GP is probably referring to the custom chips used for D-STAR, which implemented a patented codec. I believe there are software decoders, but these likely infringe on the patents.
That's probably worldwide market share, where Pinky's Brain (#57449228) was talking about US market share, as I quoted.
TLS itself as well as browser enforcement are designed to protect against the same kind of threats on your home network as on public WiFi. It's assumed that the network link can be monitored and modified at will, so there shouldn't be a difference.
My point is weakening those restrictions for "private" subnets will have much greater consequences than just your home network, and doing that because a power user can't or won't use a FQDN to access an internal network resource will have a much larger impact on regular users elsewhere.
Apple owns almost half the mobile phone market in the US
Uhhh just looked at the latest figures and Apple's share is...11.9%
These should be automatically excluded from the strict TLS rules that browsers impose, especially the ones that give you no option to bypass their built-in blocking mechanisms.
Cool, so when I'm at a coffee shop, and someone hijacks the DNS and redirects my bank's site to 192.168.0.3, doing a MITM with a self-signed cert, that should be accepted by the browser? It's OK because it's a private subnet!
Linksys is owned by Cisco, so there's your market.
Linksys is owned by Belkin since 2013.
They could've made serious money if they had allowed the MiniDisc to be used as removable data storage for computers. It was tecnically brilliant and very compact for its time.
Was the RAM from eBay as well? I just built a dual xeon (e5-26xx v4) and putting in 128GB of DDR4 ECC ram alone would have been over $1k.
You scratch my tape, and I'll scratch yours.
