It's also a huge security hole

It's not a public API. Hacking someone's private API is already against law - charging $$ for it moreso.

I feel like conversatives just learn first principals and stop there. It's kinda sad. The FCC, FTC, etc exist in order to keep our markets fair and consumer friendly.

This weird, free-trade utopia that they dream about does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist. Instead when you remove all the regulation, you get anarchy like we see today in many 3rd world countries.

I would love to see our government get more efficient and targetted with its regulation, but to simply argue against it is extremely naive.

Thanks for this! I'm excited to check it out.

But now I'm curious. Is there a tool, template, or some software that everyone's using to make their PDFs? They all have the same font, theme, format, etc.

You are contradicting yourself all over the place in these comments.

It had all kinds of rendering bugs on the iPad

Modern Chrome and Safari used to share the same open source engine until it was forked. They're not that different from each other

Tell me about it! My old series 6 was getting really rough battery life (hence my big post about it). Series 9 feels really good. These batteries don't do too well after three years...

Series 9 is a new chip

I think when Apple announces battery life for watches, the measurement is for the current watch on the current software. Over time, yes your battery holds less charge, but also, the software gets new features that the newer hardware handles just fine, but the older hardware starts to struggle with. Apple doesn't provide data for newer software on older devices. There's no spec sheet from Apple saying, "if you upgrade your series 5/6 to WatchOS 9, you should expect this new, lower battery life."

But we all know newer, better features are going to use more compute - that's just how technology works. So you either 1) cut off older devices from the newer features, which users get grumpy about, 2) provide the new features but don't say anything about the impact or 3) provide new features but say how it impacts older devices and maybe provide toggles and system controls to enable/disable. I don't think #3 is really in Apple's DNA - that's more of a Microsoft approach.
