It was marketed as $7 (I think), but it was never sold below $15 as far as I could find.
Also, since that price was without any profit margin, merchants only sold them in expensive bundles most of the time (with a case, SD card, etc).
Better marketing. It’s also easier to get a build pipeline for ARM than Xtensa and RISC-V.
Apple always tried to have their mouse fit tiny children‘s hands and adults, which of course means that they’re uncomfortable for both.
Their dedication to small product portfolios forbids them to have two different devices for this.
The whole of Super Mario Bros is smaller than a single screenshot of the game.
I’m pretty sure it used to be easier with phones that didn’t have full disk encryption.
It’s a UI design tool. It’s what UI and UX designers use to create mockups that are then given to frontend programmers to implement.
Patenting obvious solutions is done all the time and perfectly fine from a legal point of view.
That’s intentional. Apple knows they won’t win in the long run, so their strategy is to delay the change for as long as possible.
They didn’t need the army of lawyers to get license deals, so that’s not a fair comparison.
I didn’t know that “emit” is a verb that can be used for such an action.
This is almost certainly not intentional. The AI just can’t differentiate between unsafe as in NSFW and unsafe as in manual memory management.
Fusion 360 is amazing in the Getting Shit Donetm department, which is the weak point of FreeCAD. I have managed to steer through the byzantine UI of FreeCAD to create a CAD model, but it needed support by someone who has spent years in that application to get the more complex stuff, and even he didn’t exactly know how to achieve it, and that’s on top of me having participated in a 16 hour workshop on how to use FreeCAD. For Fusion 360, I’ve watched a few 5 minute videos on their official channel and that’s it, everything else I was able to accomplish through just looking at the UI.
I learned Fusion 360 before FreeCAD, so it’s not just that I had prior experience in another similar tool.
I think the basic problem with FreeCAD is that it’s a collection of tool benches written by different people who don’t talk to each other. They have overlapping responsibilities while still having vastly different feature sets and don’t integrate with each other most of the time. So, if you want to create a model, you first have to plan ahead to understand what kind of features it’s going to have, and based on that, you have to decide which collection of tool benches you have to pick. More than once I picked the wrong one in the start and then had to do everything all over again in the different one once I ran into a dead end.
Fusion 360 feels like it was written by a single team with a single vision, and everything fits together.
So, pay extra to get the smallest components possible for a desktop PC, and then mount them spread out on a giant wall.
One of the major accusations was that they asked too much of Madison for a single person to accomplish, and fired her over not meeting their expectations. While this is not great, it’s not legally problematic.
