This is not my experience. Most apps I paid once for several years ago are either no longer around or now broken.

There are a lot of abusive predatory subscription apps on the App Store that give subscriptions a bad name but what you’re saying is true. The time and effort to make a good quality app is very high and people expect continuous development, compatibility with the latest OS updates, and adoption of new features. It is simply not sustainable for a developer to be left with years of maintenance after selling an app for a few dollars one time. This is compounded as most app sales happen in the first few weeks of an apps release and then drop off to close to zero for the rest of the apps life.
Many of my favourite apps that only charged a few dollars for life access have been abandoned. I would have much preferred to pay a few dollars once per year and still have those great apps. Unfortunately, it seems few apps take this approach, usually subscriptions are unjustifiably high, sometimes obscenely, for the value the app delivers.
But even if you drive the car into the ground there is still an associated cost per year as a result of buying the vehicle.
I think that is a feature
Sounds interesting. What was the subject of these tickets?
What? You think this is some kind of secret?
No, I think that we should be critical of what we read online. Especially on topics where information is being actively manipulated. Thanks for the link.
I keep seeing this Israel funded Hamas rhetoric. But, I can find almost no information about it from reputable sources. The only information I can find that is not obviously biased is a freaking Quora post.
If you, or anyone else, has anything more solid then I would be very interested to read about it.
In this scenario I think the largest mammals will go first? Like if you consider there was a higher concentration of oxygen during the dinosaur era and some dinosaurs were really big. So it seems larger mammals might need a higher concentration of oxygen.
Is that on new accounts too?
Wunderground was awesome until IBM bought it
Incompetent, you don’t even need an undergraduate degree to be a detective in Detroit:
Must be at least 18 years of age Must be a United States citizen Must have 20/20 vision or corrected 20/20 vision Must have normal color and depth perception vision Must hold a valid driver’s license Must have a good driving record Must have a high school diploma or GED Must have no felony convictions
This technology is going to be a nightmare when combined with decades of deliberately selecting for low iq in the police hiring process.
It seems obvious to check that the women in surveillance footage is also pregnant. But, if you have poor critical reasoning skills and you’re only looking for confirmation I can totally see how pregnancy could be missed.
Incompetence.
Votes being public has made it possible to learn a bit about how people interact with posts. I’ve always used the downvote sparingly and I think that is how most people operate, downvoting only what doesn’t contribute to discussion and upvoting what I agree with. But it seems a minority downvote very frequently. There are some accounts that downvote the vast majority of posts in certain communities. Sometimes these accounts have zero posts and comments. Which is pretty odd - disagreeing with so much while never sharing your opinion.
Absolutely. Things have improved over the years, there is an official chrome extension for keychain that works on windows (although I’ve never used it so can’t comment on how well it works) it’s also possible to export your keychain database (although only using a Mac). The worst thing about keychain now is that, on iOS, it’s only accessible through settings which makes accessing 2FA codes a pain. I think keychain should be it’s own app.
Which password manager do you use? I am open to trying an alternative but having all my passwords in one place is really scary so I struggle to trust a third party.
Thanks for the excellent work, extremely impressive. Does anyone know how to sort comments? I can’t work out how to do it.
This was true a decade ago but now most apps interface with some external server, even if it’s not hosted by the developer. The rest of the world keeps changing even if you don’t; API versions increase with breaking changes or a service your app relies on gets shutdown, and now your app is broken. Not upgrading is a boring solution anyway. Keeping up-to-date with new features is what makes computers fun.
