<p>Honestly of the big companies sometimes I feel like Apple is the worse offender in i18n questions<p>Sure they have most of their stuff translated but some rough edges make me feel they do the bare minimum:<p>- Their ISO keyboard <i>sucks</i>. Sure their overall quality makes it good but of the major brands their Enter key is the most flimsy attempt at it<p>- Some long standing bugs <a href="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250299816?sortBy=rank" rel="nofollow">https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250299816?sortBy=rank</a> (which I had the impressions they were made worse in localized version or at least if you used a non American date format)<p>- General weirdness with translation missing sometimes</p>

<p>Yes<p>Oversimplified might be a better description but there needs to be a rule even dumb people can use<p>So the rule is: discard whatever comes first<p>If you expect every home distiller to understand the nuances of this you're going to end up with a lot of "accidents"</p>

<p>Yup<p>The problem with BTC going down is that it's a double whammy of not only BTC going down but also the cost of its shovels going up<p>Before: BTC pays $100k but a shovel costs $300<p>Now: BTC pays $70k but a shovel costs $$??<p>Bitcoin asked the right questions but came back with the wrong answers</p>
