That doesn’t say the API doesn’t work. That says the API that dev chose is for when your device is going to run heavy background tasks (processing). This API is designed to run when the device has plenty of battery or is plugged in and isn’t doing anything else. That’s not unexpected, nor is it any different from Apple apps (you don’t want spotlight indexing or photo recognition to fire when you’re low on battery or in the middle of playing a game).

Uploading photos isn’t a heavy background task. There’s gotta be a way to do upload it as you take the photo. And I’d think sending new photos to an app would be done by a push notification or would work similar to receiving new emails in the background from the many third party mail apps that do this.

Again, I want to see what the suing devs claim and what Apple counters with.

Sounds spammy.

It’s strange that there would be so much documentation for an API that reportedly doesn’t work. Including a 2019 WWDC session explaining how to run in the background for more processor intensive tasks.

There’s even a recent step by step post on Medium explaining how to implement short or long background tasks. Doesn’t say anything about it not working.

If it really doesn’t work then I’d imagine the lawsuit will be won handily. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

Is this the feature you’re saying doesn’t work?

Not getting it. There’s nothing stopping you from storing your photos in Amazon Photos, or Google photos, or Dropbox, or whatever.

I can hear that logo.

“Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn. You see, if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend!”

Get ready for shitreplacing as well.

Doesn’t mean you’re not smart. People’s brains work differently. Some people enjoy thinking five moves ahead, or memorizing standard plays and reactions. Other people are good at math or chemistry. Talents aren’t an “all or nothing” thing.

Both can be true.

Google’s Chrome OS might be a decent choice for a giveaway laptop (even though Google is shitty with privacy, the apps are familiar).

Or Ubuntu with Firefox and Steam, maybe Good Old Games installed. Do you really need antivirus on consumer Linux installs like Ubuntu?

They will need to show plagiarism in the results returned by AI. I bet that won’t be too difficult.

Also called churning.

A work stoppage would probably work better than a march, but as someone else mentioned we can’t even get most people to vote. So things will just continue to go downhill unless people suddenly wake up to what’s going on around them.

Just tell them you have cancer and are immunocompromised. That usually shuts them up. Irrational people are not worth arguing with and sometimes this makes them think twice about harassing other people.

It’s a “bring it on and we will reflash the software” update. Can’t be done over the air. So far only affecting 107 cars according to GM. We will see if that number gets larger.

The building material isn’t the problem. The electricity used and the air conditioning are the problem. AI is only going to make this worse. Making a building from wood isn’t going to make a difference.

Sounds like something the political parties should be offering education in. “Come to our shindig, have some free bbq, and learn how to vote using current voting machines and mail in ballots! All ages welcome!”
