    OSX, then iOS as well as native Watch apps with WatchOS. Yup, Native Apps are coming to the watch. Tim did not comment on Watch sales numbers

    So basically every engineer that Apple employs And I predicted shitposters like you too, have a nice stay!
  4. Victorious Secret
    Yes, follow instructions here and you should be able to without issue: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/382830-apple-wwdc-2015-official-thread/?p=5169577

    I'm watching the Apple stream and Verge, so I'll probably just grab stuff off the Verge stream since its already uploaded and don't need to start knocking off screenshots. We can figure out a better way to organize all the information once the event is over I guess

    Not worth running some janky stream, use this: Please note that the live stream url may appear broken until it is has started. Refresh the stream when the video has begun (at 10am PDT or 1:00 pm ET) and everything should work fine. @SamNeedham123 here is the additional stream for your OP, for those not on iOS/OSX devices
  7. Victorious Secret
    @SamNeedham123, I'll help along too and post stuff where I think its worth posting. As per your Apple Music section, a bunch of big name artists are present so as if Sonys confirmation yesterday wasn't a big enough reveal of what today will be focused on. I think Music is gonna be a big part of WWDC

    You're assuming that I'm that petty. I'd rather have anyone make a cohesive thread with all the updates and I'm glad OP did. Rather him than the constant shitposters who can't put two words together to make a good thread.

    FreeNAS and similar systems like speed over core count, even for use in HTPC scenarios. Get the i3. You have a solid upgrade path with 1150 later on and could even slot in a Xeon down the line for excessive server grunt if you need to. FX makes no sense. 6 weak cores for a NAS is silly.

    I've just found that with the installs, I'm getting smarter about what I actually keep. I had the same problem on the PC. Yes, I can have 1 or 2 TB of space and keep every single game known to mankind, but what do I actually play? Right now it is 4 games. 200GB. Thats it. Yes, the allure is to keep EVERYTHING installed, but I truly don't play everything every time, so its a wash for my personal use.

    To be fair, Google gets their own cut by knowing what you purchased. This is Google. How would they possibly give up insight into what people are buying in their daily life and then gearing ads to fit those areas.

    Install to drive. 50GB a pop burns through any drive pretty quick.

    What happens when you miss getting out of the gates? Well, you miss out on money apparently. You see, when Apple Pay was launched, Apple had the leverage due to their tokenization implementations and the banks were willing to give up a slice to Apple because of the security features, a year later however VISA, MasterCard (and others I imagine) have finally standardized those implementations and made them free. What does this mean for Apple? Well, two years down the line they likely will have no more slice. What does it mean for Google? They don't get a slice at all, since they were late to the game and didn't have the leverage Apple had. Its a small slice, sure, but when you factor in the millions (if not tens of millions) of users and the god knows how many transactions, those fees would add up handsomely. I think this is even sadder when Google had mobile payments so long ago yet, in typical Google fashion, sat on their asses with it and never pushed it until after Apple showed up and crapped on the mobile carriers and their closed off payment solutions. http://www.wsj.com/article_email/google-loses-key-mobile-payment-feesgoogle-misses-out-on-apples-slice-of-mobile-transactions-1433546638-lMyQjAxMTE1NjA2NTYwMzU2Wj

    Its a dick measuring contest, eh? I can come in here and talk about my RAID 0 of SSDs and home NAS thats sitting at 20TB too. Who gives a shit? Even PCMR knows it is satire (sometimes). These guys live and breath it entirely.

    Because not everyone has the bizarre need of wanting LEDs on everything. Some people just like having a quality product that doesn't look like it was designed by a functional moron.

    An error in how a notification handles unicode text has nothing to do with device encryption and security...

    Whistleblower and former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden lauded Apple for enabling measures like default full-disk encryption in iOS 8, in a rare editorial published on Friday. Hard to disagree with him on this one. Apple basically rams encryption into every phone and if we truly believe what Apple says about not having decryption keys, they can't even access what your backups contain. Even disabling activation lock requires some serious proof before Apple even considers breaking that, their actions lately certainly go a long ways in letting people know they give a damn about privacy more than other companies. I wish all manufacturers took this route and enabled encryption by default. Let the government cry about not having access to your information, Apple certainly didn't give a damn about that. http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/06/05/edward-snowden-hails-apple-as-pioneering-for-ios-8-security-measures

    Custom ROMs seem like a novelty. Can't believe…

    Victorious Secret replied to Victorious Secret's status update

    i wish I had a GPE rom. I wish Google made GPE roms for all the flagships of the year. Screw all this custom nonsense. Sigh. Time to find a HTC or god help me a gigantic Nexus 6

    S5. Was running various ROMs, 'settled' on CM12, just went back to good old rooted stock. Now I know why I stopped with this crap in the first place.

    Custom ROMs seem like a novelty. Can't believe I'm going back to a 5.0 TouchWiz rom over CM. But CM is a pile of trash so theres that.

      A friend of mine has a Moto X, he's a hobbyist Android developer. CM12 was so shit for him that he ended up going back to stock. You see though, my phone has a GPE build ROM and it's rock solid.

    That is all well and good HTC, but will you actually ensure that your "hero" product stays your "hero" product for a calendar year or will you release a better version for another region 3 months later, at which point people ask "why didn't you just release that one in the first place?" I really hope they get it together. Their entire business sorta depends on it all. To think, this is the brand that made the Nexus One. And now they're all over the place again just like they were at the tail end of the Windows Mobile 6.5 days. http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-improvements-m-and-more-614030/

    A big IF. JP might not want to engage in nonsense and demand the money straight up, who knows what the climate will be like 6 months from now much less by 2019. For AMDs sake, I hope they get the sales they need not only to pay down that debt but actually start investing back into their R/D on a level that to be brutally honest they just don't do anymore.

    On one hand, I love that Facebook is working on a lighter app that isn't as resource intensive for the phone or for the network, on the other its kinda embarrassing that Facebook needs a whole new app just to get over the fact that their current app is a bloated mess on all platforms. Come on guys, you have several billions to play with. Is a ground up rewrite for iOS and Android and WP too much to ask? Maybe it is. Hey, I'm not in a developing country yet I would love the ability to stifle Facebooks usage to the bare minimum too. http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/04/facebook-lite-app/ http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2015/06/announcing-facebook-lite/
