How is that not covered by the standard, mandated 1-year warranty? Did they pull the same BS described in the article?

Apple is no saint for this kind of stuff either though, I still remember the red humidity marker in the headphone jack that denied repairs to many people because of “water damage” (which was actually just sweat, probably)

"Your account may be terminated at any time"

No business owner wants to print that in large letters above every upload form: "Thanks for uploading, your content may be deleted at any time, keep a copy."

What we need though is some accountability especially from large companies and for real users.

How long can we go before we start treating online stuff like real stuff? Why is my car protected from theft but my data isn't?

I hope to visit more Arab countries soon and make more friends there.

You’re completely out of context. I’m just replying to the parent suggesting I don’t engage with the cultures.

All I need to tell you is that I’ve been stared at, followed, called names, harassed in a number of countries, and many of them were Arab. Go figure.

“Are you western?” is not an acceptable start. How would you like it if I started my comment with: “Are you black?” — regardless of whether you are, which is my point.

I’ll surprise you: English is not my first language, I haven’t been in my home country since 2015, I speak 3 languages fluently, I’m currently living in Indonesia and can already speak my fourth language (although not well). I lived 3-15 months each in more than 10 countries.

You got the wrong person. I know what I’m talking about because I’ve lived it.

I’m talking out of my own experience in Africa, Asia and South America. I don’t go flashing out money around and I know exactly how I’m seen and how I’m treated in every place I’ve lived in. And no, I‘ve never been in a resort and I live in local housing trying to learn the language. So kindly go f yourself.

You can’t be serious.

Nobody is withholding an expat’s passport while they live in boxes with 16 other people and working for months on end.

You’re making ridiculous comparisons and it makes me dubious of your intent here.

Dubai sells this luxury destination dream literally built by slaves.

Nothing in the parent comment warrants what you said. What happens in practice is that being white in poorer countries makes you stand out and sometimes this comes with negative feelings of being unwanted there.

This is just a fact being told and it doesn’t justify a “you guys and your politics” comment. It’s just to point out, perhaps, that some places are more welcoming of foreigners than others.

The difference with HN is that HN is not mainly for media. However HN isn’t great either. The button to collapse threads in on top of the thread in a 16x16-pixel touch target. Good luck finding it when you’re 12 comments down.

For being a text comment-only website, the HN experience is pretty poor. The only good thing HN has got going on technically is that it’s super fast. Heck it still doesn’t offer dark mode when it would literally be 7 additional lines of CSS.

New Reddit’s design was a great improvement if it weren't for the fact that its developers were and still are absolutely clueless. That paired with a user-hostile management made Reddit even worse.

But the redesign itself was not the issue, it was the implementation.

It is longer than:

array.forEach((value, index) => {})

… but forEach has too many limitations (no exits, no await, …)

Then every for-of loop example does not execute anything because it’s creating an inline arrow function without calling it.

In theory I think you just need to get it closer to an iPhone, no print needed.
