Cloudflare specifically launches things on April 1st a lot of times. https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/1907055975057506793

They announced 1.1.1.1 on April 1st way back in 2018 too.

I think because it's web-based only, much like Google Docs and the like are. For my Cryptpad replaced Google Docs as a live-collaboration tool.

When in DND notifications still work, they're just under the fold and you need to swipe up to see the Microsoft Authenticator notifications.

I'm thinking that by losing their iCloud account is just means it will be blocked from syncing anything with Apple's servers.

I'm guessing regarding being able to use it outside of their apps, no? That's my main concern. I'm mainly a Mail.app user and having to run the bridge all the time does not seem ideal for me. I haven't tried it out so this is just me talking from the outside.

Doesn’t look like it.

> Ive began dreaming about an Apple watch just after CEO Steve Jobs’ death in October 2011. He soon brought the idea to Dye and a small group of others in the design studio.

New comment by george_perez in "Tweetbot is back down again"

george_perez — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 04:45:32 +0000

Not sure about special agreements or contracts, but Tweetbot along with other high-profile third-party apps (like Twitterrific) had way, way more API tokens available because of their size when Twitter started restricting the number of API tokens an app could have assigned for the lifetime of the app. API tokens for new apps were way more limited, around 10,000 I believe. Tweetbot and Twitterrific, while they never disclosed how many tokens they were given as legacy apps, were still to this day accepting new users, so the number seems to be way more than 10,000.

And they had access to a less limited API (request-wise) to make their app work better without constant rate limiting nags.

That's the list for Apple Pay, not Apple Cash. Apple Cash is US only.

Like the previous person said, mainly stability and support. There's no doubt that macOS can run much faster in non-Apple hardware given certain parameters, but if you want support and solid stability you would probably go with Mac hardware.

It does. That's what the circular strip is for, like you said.

It's not on the Mac, what Apple Watch and Mac does is unlock the Mac when it locks. It doesn't keep it unlocked like the OP mentioned.

Thanks for the info! I wonder if they deal with AirPods, though. Authorized Repair Centers usually deal with a subset of products and not ALL Apple products, at least the ones here in PR.
