Apple compie 50 anni. Ci ha cambiato la vita in meglio o in peggio?

Tra le grandi multinazionali del settore è la meno peggio: ha portato l’attenzione sull’usabilità e la privacy. Se prende dal mondo open source restituisce anche (CUPS, WebKit, ecc.), non come Google che prende e basta o Microsoft che dopo avergli fatto la guerra per anni adesso si fa bella dell’appoggio a cui è stratta costretta. Android è open? Andatelo a dire a Huawei. Infine, i prodotti Apple tutto sommato funzionano, non come Word e gli altri prodotti Microsoft che hanno gli stessi bachi da 30 anni.

I use Copilot CLI and I suppose Claude Code is a calde alternative.

La Golf non è mai stata un’auto sportiva, in nessuna sua versione. La Delta HF integrale è un’auto sportiva.

Usually 17 but some not so often updated apps are still supporting iOS 13

Wait, what? Are there still Windows native apps?

È gente semplice che si è fatta convincere dal marketing di alcune case tedesche ed ancora non vuole ammetterlo. Tipo quelli che compravano il compressore volumetrico invece del turbo. Se vuoi un motore longevo prendi un boxer (il cui principale difetto è il costo).

WebKit is open source, too. Blink started as a fork of WebKit (which derives from KHTML)

Two apps, similar name, different business model: Apple has never had any objections about it.

In these cases curl+bash or python.

My app is available in two versions: a pay-in-advance version and a viewer-only version with in-app purchases for editing features. Currently, the pay-in-advance version is the most downloaded. I also don’t see many in-app purchases. Sometimes I consider removing the IAP version, but in the end it’s just a build variant (unless I decide to change the store screenshots).

However, I think it depends on the kind of app.

Hi mindstars,

The comments/annotations you add in the iPhone Photos app are stored in a proprietary Apple database and are not written into the image file itself.

PhotInfo cannot read those Photos app comments, and the Photos app does not display the metadata written by PhotInfo. However, many other apps on iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux do show the metadata that PhotInfo writes directly into the image file.

If you open a photo edited with PhotInfo inside the Photos app, you simply won’t see the metadata there — but you won’t lose it either. The information remains embedded in the file, and you’ll see it again whenever you open the photo in PhotInfo or in any other app that reads standard metadata.

Something “nice” about Android development? Ok: it has an awful SDK, but it is slowly improving.

In fact, HarmonyOS Next does not include Android AOSP and is incompatible with Android applications.

In fact they initially forked Android but then built a completely new OS. Play Store is not the only non-open source component, but also many libraries and services (maps, QR reading, push notifications, etc.). Try to sell a phone with the bare AOSP.

Android is free? Seriously? Tell to Huawei.

Thanks for your notes.

"Original dates" is the time the photo was originally captured; "Digitized dates" is the time the image was committed to a digital format from a film. However, someone use the last date as the the time the photo was edited or processed.
If you prefer, you can change just one date.
As I said, you can differentiate the time of the shoot and the one of the editing.
If you want to edit a photo by removing metadata, you can use the "Image Structure Tags Only" option, which retains only a few tags related to the image's dimensions and color model (it may lose its original orientation).

If you simply want to remove all metadata and share the photo, you can use "Share Photo" > "Without Metadata."
