I think they meant that rendering can only be done with JS/HTML, and if you want to use React stuff, React also has to be involved. No need to be rude and assume the worst.
Third point seems true though, I would definitely expect to see JS errors should any React libs have issues on their own.
Apple Silicon Macs. Aside from that, yes very boring, especially the silly stuff like watches, pencils, and credit cards. That said, I'd rather our country respect private property, also it's not like there's a ton more innovation left in these spaces anyway.
Yes. I scrolled and found it by chance: "Simply put, your brain is trying to figure out what it’s hearing, so it’s filling in the gaps of the noise you’re listening to with a common sound."
Cmd+f found no mention of AM radio in there, which is another possible explanation for hearing voices or music in those machines. If I were hearing that, I wouldn't appreciate this article telling me it's in my head.
When I was taking my electronics courses, it was fairly difficult to not build an AM receiver. Any time we were working with PLL or high gain amplifiers attached to a speaker, you'd eventually hear AM talk radio come out of someone's project.
1. Allowing other app stores would immediately mean each app wanting you to go to a separate store. I barely use apps in the first place but would imagine this being bothersome for those who use them a lot.
2. I don't want my phone to run arbitrary code, that's what my Mac is for. People install unknown third-party apps on their iPhones all the time, which is safe enough. Now imagine Apple was forced to make iPhones more like Macs in this respect. When was the last time you installed an unknown third-party Mac app?
3. If the govt does something along the lines of preventing Apple from pre-installing their own apps, or some other way of forcibly informing users that they have alternatives, that's annoying for anyone who uses those default apps anyway.
4. Forcibly opening the iMessage protocol could lead to more spam or hold up Apple adding new features that Android doesn't support. And Apple is going to adopt RCS anyway.
5. Govt regulations on software have historically not done much good for regular users. GDPR got us modal cookie notifications on every site, which some nerds really liked along with the takeout stuff, but most people saw as useless and annoying. Plenty of iPhone users are happy with the status quo.

Then don't run it. Personally, I want all my devices that run third-party software to have strong sandboxing and defense-in-depth security. Even apps from developers I trust and admire can be compromised due to vulnerabilities and other types of attack.

Except Android allows other stores since forever and that didn't happen so this is proven to be an incorrect assumption.
I see this and other blatantly wrong, easily verifiable, takes so often that I wonder if those who write even know how things work in Android or they just live in an iOS bubble and assume things about Android.
Android heavily warns users against installing those, which might not fly if the ruling is to treat them equally. Despite that, a major app Fortnite is only available via the Epic Games store on Android.
Because users get a scary warning if they don't do that. Unlike Mac or Windows, where users can download stuff outside the Mac or MS store without warning, so big companies don't use the stores.
Yeah, try setting your nav from Los Angeles to Irvine or San Diego to Irvine on any given day. Guaranteed 2-3 wrecks, plus some jams that the nav might think are wrecks but are just phantom jams.
It's not artificial. SMS is terrible on its own, and that's none of Apple's fault. It's not like Android users are getting together and happily having SMS/RCS group chats.

What? RCS is a real thing that works between Android users. It is Apple's choice to not support (or contribute to it or improve the standard) it because it locks people in and creates a very cozy, very real in-group sentiment.
I think the problem is uniformity in social groups. Everyone who has an iPhone gets iMessage and it's a seamless experience because it's the messaging app you have on the phone. Google was so poorly organized over its messaging solution that it couldn't push anything by default. Even if your social group is made up of a bunch of Android users, they all have the messaging app they want to use: WhatsApp, Hangouts, Telegram, Signal, etc. Very few people are willing to change because they have their own network of people who have decided on their preference.
RCS is a good idea (sort of), but it's too late. I suspect that Apple moving to Support RCS will make very little difference in terms of messaging solutions, when all is said and done.
>Very few people are willing to change because they have their own network of people who have decided on their preference.
This sounds radical, but: why can't people just use multiple apps? That was the whole marketing scheme for smartphones and yet we decide to corral back into the same little gates as 20 years ago. I have Whatsapp, Discord, regular messages, facebook messages, and probably 3 other stupid abandoned Senior Engineer Google promotion fodder on my phone. Hell, I'll answer of LinkedIn if you so incline. it's not like they don't all just flow onto my notification bar anyway.
And I guess since it's an inevitable question: I'm a 30YO single male. of course I don't have large friend group chats; We barely have friends that aren't busy with their SO's. on the one off per year we need to coordinate we'll pick and choose a platform.
