  1. When typing these coordinates into a UTM map the coordinates doesn't align with the location adress at all. Typing the Hässelby torg 3 coordinates into https://www.geoplaner.com/ just places it in the ocean...
  2. Does anyone know what kind of weird coordinate system is used here, and how I convert it to the DD standard? Example: Hässelby torg 3 (Sweden), 141083,8605 6583557,276 27,103488
  3. Summary Apple plans to allow some developers to distribute their iOS apps directly from websites in EU countries. However, developers must follow Apple's strict rules and meet notarization requirements to protect the integrity of the platform. Users must approve the developer in the settings of their iPhone and a system window will display information that the developer has submitted to Apple for review. Only major developers who meet specific criteria, including one million first annual installations in the EU, will be able to use this distribution method. Quotes My thoughts The fact that this is limited to only big major developers is such a shame, since this means that the ability to distribute iOS apps via websites will not available for 99% of all developers. Also, it's worth discussing if most users will even care to go trough the hoops of approving developers from websites just to avoid the App Store. Once again, Apple has made the option of distributing and downloading from outside of the App Store such a painful process for both developers and consumers that I doubt that the DMA (Digital Markets Act) from the European Unionen will have much effect at all in the end.

  4. I went with Resident Evil Village and The Forgotten City in the end, and I'm happy with these decisions.
  5. It is free to download and play through the first 30 minutes, after it's an in-app purchase to unlock the full game. Unfortunately I saw that it is more than twice as expensive as Village (now when Village is on sale), so I guess RE: Village is the better buy in that case.
  6. I should add that I have the M1 Max GPU with 32 GB RAM, hopefully that is enough for some of these titles to run at least in a low resolution.
  7. Unfortunately, I'm a Mac gamer. I'm not really a hard-core "gamer", I maybe play trough 1-2 games per year. App Store currently has a fantastic discount here in Sweden with about 70% discount some AAA-titles. I enjoy games like Life is Strange, Grand Theft Auto, LEGO Star Wars, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, The Sims. Do you think any of the games on the screen shot below would be interesting to me? I know I watched PewDiePie play Resident Evil Village and really enjoyed him playing it, though I'm a bit unsure if I would have to patience the beat the bosses (I like games that progress relatively straight forward). I played the Resident Evil 4 Demo though and it was fun.
  8. I have a really hard time controlling how much time I spend on my iPhone. Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, Subway Surfers etc. they just suck me right in every time I grab my iPhone. I have tried and considered multiple different alternatives, and so far nothing has really helped: Limit Screen Time in iOS Settings for these apps: didn't help because you can continuously just click on the button to get more screen time. Delete addicting apps: made it super annoying to communicate with my friends since we communicate in group chats on Snapchat and a lot of features (like video messages) doesn't work on the Snapchat web app for desktops. Also, it was very easy to just re-download these apps. Buy an old "dumb" phone: since I have my own business I need to always have quick access to email, which is impossible on an old phone. Also, being able to get notifications if one of my stock investments suddenly would drop is really important. I might try to always have my iPhone's battery charged <20% so I can only use it for important SMS, email, and pay for food/travel with Apple Pay. Feels a little bit scary if the battery would die, though... I also though I could enable Down Time in iOS settings and have an advanced long passcode for it that I keep in my drawer at home (so I can't access it at work), but apparently you can only enable this for kids (if I'm not mistaken). Yes I know I should just stop, but that's not how addiction works. What's your guys experience with this?
  9. I'm so sorry for your loss. I do really understand you. Personally, I've always felt closer to animals than humans, so losing a pet has been very hard on me but this is what I've learnt from going through it many times before: Don't blame yourself: Pets are extremely fragile and a lot of them are REALLY good at hiding pain and sickness. I had a pet that was really happy, jumping around and living life as usual one night. The next morning, about 12 hours later when I woke up, he was just sitting there. Took him to the vet and turned out he had a giant tumor in his heart, and he died from this tumor six hours later. So sometimes there will be no signs at all and nothing you can do. And even if there sometimes are signs, pet also grow as persons and change habits from time to time, therefore it's usually hard to tell if it is a sign of sickness or just a new personality development when they act a little "weird". Allow yourself to feel sad: Allow yourself to be sad. You need it to heal. Don't try to hide these emotions from yourself, when you feel like you want to cry, do it. Accept your emotions. Treat yourself: You deserve something to make the healing a little easier. Go to the cinema and watch a movie you really want to see. Buy a game on Steam you've been wanting. Take a nice long bath. Do something that brings you meaning in life. Hugs! Wish you the best!
  10. This is VERY true. This is why App Store has tens of millions of apps and why millions of small, random developers find that paying the annual Developer Program fee is worth it.
  11. They absolutely do! I'm an app developer and I make a good monthly income from people using my apps. My apps are not advertised anywhere, they are not famous, you have never heard of them - 100% of the users comes from people searching for a particular thing they need on the App Store, finding my app as the solution for what they need, and downloading it. I have a lot of apps where I just went into the App Store and entered a generic search term, found the app, and downloaded it even though I've never heard of the app or developer before. Examples: Fake Call Me - searched for something like "escape awkward" and downloaded this because I got tired of stranger hitting on me in public and needed a way to quickly trigger a call to get out of awkward situations. Quote Widgets - searched for something like "inspiring widgets" since I wanted to have some feel-good widgets on my homescreen. Supi Player - searched for something like "youtube background player" since wanted to be able to play YouTube videos in the background without premium. Poliskartan - searched for "brott" since I wanted to know when crimes happens close to my home here in Sweden. InSave - searched for "save from Instagram" since I wanted to download images/videos. Scaniverse - searched for "3D scan", wanted a 3D scanning app for iPhone. Mockview - searched for "mockups" since I wanted a way to create mockups easily. ...and these are just a very few examples of many. I doubt people who are looking for a LiDAR, YouTube background players, or public toilet finding apps knows exactly the name of the app or the developer.
  12. @Brooksie359 From my understanding: yes, the unban of Epic's developer account was in the EU.
  13. The weird thing is that Apple reinstated Epic's developer account, just to remove it again?
  14. Summary Epic Games says Apple has taken down its newly reinstated developer account in the EU. In a blog post, Epic partially blames a tweet where they criticized Apple's reason for doing so. Epic says this hinders its plans to launch a competing app marketplace in the EU. The game maker also says that Apple has called them a "threat to their ecosystem." The tweet(s) in question: Quotes My thoughts I really like Apple's products, but they are a very toxic company and very hostile to their developers and users. As a iOS/macOS developer myself, I can say that Apple has made the EU's Digital Markets Acts as horrible for developers as possible by making it an unattractive, expensive, and frustrating experience when trying to use anything other than the App Store to distribute apps.
