pete_dushenski: i don't give much credit to this '
apple car' nonsense but hey, if the fag was dumb enough to do the iwatch, why not icar ?
mircea_popescu: 2009, back when
apple istore was worth less than a bar.

☟︎ phf: there was a period when
apple was not this outright hostile to hackers. around 10.4-10.5 you could still rebuild darwin (i did it for a bit to work around the retarded execl argument list length limitations) or bsd user space from
apple hosted source. even cocoa userspace had all kinds of hooks that you could use to customize the os, like inputmanager bundles
phf: around 2g/3g you still had "linux on iphone" projects and such. i think there was one project to recreate part of iphone stuck by combining opensource
apple code and writing what's missing. this is of course long history.
ascii_field: clearly this is what
apple users pined for

pete_dushenski: and in still other news, "
Apple has published a workaround after some iPhone and iPad users were left stranded in the middle of the iOS 9 update process. The Cupertino giant has acknowledged multiple complaints that devices were unable to progress past the "Slide to Upgrade" screen when moving to the latest version of iOS.
Apple's remedy: wipe your device and hope you made a backup."

☟︎ ascii_field: mircea_popescu: for so long as you think this, you will catastrophically misunderstand why

apple market
mircea_popescu: (wtf is this conflation of sales and ops going on at
apple anyway)
mircea_popescu: omfg they did. ok, this is the dumbest move
apple ever took, or could have taken. the only remainder value in the entire pointless entreprise was the perception of value. this is the texbook way to ruin perception of value : put them on a monthly installment, like fucking diapers.
pete_dushenski: very back of napkin, yes, but
apple comes out ahead, as you'd fully expect.
pete_dushenski: now if
apple's 'iphone upgrade program' were available in canada, which is isn't, this phone would have to be ~cdn$50/month, seeing as usd$ pricing 'starts at $32/mo' for base iphone 6s with 32 gb and cdn-usd is 0.75.

apple resells 'refurbished phones' and makes profit
ben_vulpes: "There were around 1,500 people in the audience — but at least 1,000 were
Apple employees... At WWDC (and in years past, Macworld Expo) Moscone is filled with paid ticket holders. Having that many employees in the room changes the tenor of the audience considerably — the cheering and applause were raucous."

apple's equivalent of 'hello google' or whatever that motorola had last year

Apple I and
Apple II computer and printer interfaces and serial interfaces and floppy disks and stuff that I made to enhance the computers. He did not know technology. He’d never designed anything as a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software. He wanted to be important, and the important people are always the business people. So that’s wh

phf: mats: dos dev is sop multimachine. if you read early gamedev reminiscence professional setup almost always involved two machines, the dev environment and the game testing machine, with some rapid way to synchronize the two. not that are you necessarily limited to a single task at a time, you can load a tsr to perform a handful of auxiliary task, like notes or calculator or whatever. i think that's how "widgets" were implemented in
apple's system
