Photos are the only reason I pay for the 2 TB plan on iCloud. I don’t need all the photos on device all the time. If I can _reliably_ stash them in remote servers and have a way to access them on-demand on the phone, I can take the money I give Apple and pay for the app that enables me. But only if I don’t have to remember to open the app every now and then and watch it sync my photos. It needs to be as easy to use as Apple Photos..
Apple doesn't allow background execution for third party apps. Can't increase service revenue if you allow competition.
I use the mobile phone checkout for one of the stores I go to. Every time when leaving, they manually inspect every single item in my cart.
No one checks the products. Occasional random checks happen but the checking frequency probably depends if past checks have found issues, so I get a bag check once a year max.
YouTube has a similar issue. Viewers who watched "60 minutes of white noise" also enjoyed "8 hr tv noise loop". Yeah... thanks for the rec.
I see people complain about how their "well researched and well articulated question got closed" all the time, but when prompted no one every actually provides a link to their question. Which makes me believe it actually just was a low effort noisy question after all..
If anything, HN is much more snarky, just look at the comments on anything here.
