So you want people to discuss the economy without mentioning the genocide camps of forced labour that underpin manufacturing?

You think it is bad that a company provides good documentation on how their product works and how to use it?

Bizarre. In Australia I can literally call up a new ISP and get switched over in minutes, and it automatically terminates my old ISP (and many will refund the remaining monthly charge)

Apple is also the company that decides that 'x port' is the new greatest thing ever and drops support for previous ports

You are opening it wrong /s

If my kids are asleep we turn the TV volume down. Why would you wear headphones with your spouse, you can't have any conversation so it defeats the purpose of watching together

Anti radiation missile.

To be clear, you are against other workers benefiting from something if you yourself don't benefit?

Apart from a terribly selfish attitude, I'd like to see proof of the wait for CT scans. Australia has mostly socialised healthcare and I've always had xrays same day and CT, Pet and MRI within a couple of days at most.

Also all those scans have been completely free.

They don't like some patterns, I suspect that straight dark lines are detected as possible drops

Lawyers are expensive.

Why should a user pay for something that is useful for a multi billion dollar multinational ad company?

It's almost like the roles of government, such as medical access, social security and law enforcement, should not be run as a business

So what happens if/when Ferrari stops supporting the remote hardware, or the mobile tech is no longer available (ie none of my 2g mobile network stuff works anymore because no telecoms company here does 2g anymore)

Depends if you want a convertible or not

This literally makes no sense. Australian unions have been giving free representation to immigrants bring exploited by employers

As a full time software documentation writer, all I ever do on github is correct docs and text (because nothing looks more unprofessional than terrible spelling, especially in your UI, expect maybe for when the directions are wrong and don't work)

I've just checked and am now running at over 40 rejected changes, many with really offensive comments added to them.

Open source developers often come across as very rude and argumentative and this sort of response to legitimate fixes kills any interest I had in helping. Looking through some of the projects I they are also treating code changes the same way. I'd suggest that that future hacktoberfests will have much less participation

The cases get posted on ars, but there is an army that downvotes any comment on that isn't Apple positive.

Ten bucks says that by you 'accepting the risk' your accounts are now flagged as not be covered for any losses that the bank 'says' are due to hacking as per some legalese in one of their 100 page agreements.

Just saying this sounds tinfoil hat to me, but I would seriously consider changing banks. I would not want to hold any account, especially credit cards, for a bank that has allowed me to opt to ignore a security risk

Possibly taking one of the best parts of Firefox, the addons, and replacing it with a system that doesn't bother to support many of the most popular addons.

The nvidia shield it depends on the app. Kodi you can adjust volume in app and on the sound receiver, while Netflix just shows a message every time you hit the shield volume control. I hate the Netflix option, is my bloody hardware it should be my choice how to use it

Every single one of your examples the creator could self publish. Apple apps you are forced to use their services, and you have to pay for the privilege

Don't worry Apple hates users too.

I've once had a Windows update break software, and I was easily able to downgrade the broken update (and it wasn't really MSvs fault entirely, graphics driver issue).

Multiple times I've had ipad updates break apps, and some apps have never worked again because the developers don't bother updating the app, and Apple blocks downgrading because...

It's nice to live in a country where not only do various parts of the government actively try to help someone with a really bizarre issue, but no one got arrested (or shot) for bullshit trumped-up hacking charges. I can't think of many other countries responding well to 'hi I'm some random person and I used the PM's boarding pass and found out all this secret stuff'

See I find this an example of a user being lazy, and I experience this frequently. They are not even bothering to read what the computer is saying, just giving up and knowing/assuming that you will figure it out. They don't value your time, and cannot be bothered to expend the slightest effort to solve their own problem.

Bingo

It really annoys me when they bitch about not being able to bring in skilled workers from overseas because they can't find skilled people here... Hey, maybe they should fucking train someone!

Usually when a tech boss is complaining about not having skilled staff locally it's code for "... I want to find someone cheaper overseas". It's like seeing a job ad that wants a wizard at everything but has terrible pay, they just want to import a cheaper worker.

You do realise Apple could still do this in their app store AND allow 3rd party app stores?

And what happens when old hardware is resold? How can anyone trust any future excorp hardware?

Australian Consumer Law would make Dell liable for damages if anyone bought a computer from them that damaged a CPU by design. I don't even think that having a warning attached would be a sufficient shield, because it's impossible to 100% guarantee that an end user fully comprehends the consequences of a computer that is designed to permanently alter how their CPU functions.

In fact Australian Consumer Law flat out holds them liable for costs due to problems a seller could have reasonably foreseen
