That doesn’t say the API doesn’t work. That says the API that dev chose is for when your device is going to run heavy background tasks (processing). This API is designed to run when the device has plenty of battery or is plugged in and isn’t doing anything else. That’s not unexpected, nor is it any different from Apple apps (you don’t want spotlight indexing or photo recognition to fire when you’re low on battery or in the middle of playing a game).

Uploading photos isn’t a heavy background task. There’s gotta be a way to do upload it as you take the photo. And I’d think sending new photos to an app would be done by a push notification or would work similar to receiving new emails in the background from the many third party mail apps that do this.

Again, I want to see what the suing devs claim and what Apple counters with.

Sounds spammy.

Probably a good idea. I wouldn’t want to deal with all the political arguments between relatives.

It’s strange that there would be so much documentation for an API that reportedly doesn’t work. Including a 2019 WWDC session explaining how to run in the background for more processor intensive tasks.

There’s even a recent step by step post on Medium explaining how to implement short or long background tasks. Doesn’t say anything about it not working.

If it really doesn’t work then I’d imagine the lawsuit will be won handily. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

Is this the feature you’re saying doesn’t work?

Not getting it. There’s nothing stopping you from storing your photos in Amazon Photos, or Google photos, or Dropbox, or whatever.

I can hear that logo.

As someone once told me so I could remember how to spell it, “There’s ‘a rat’ in separate.“

This rebranding is a dumb move. Freevee is pretty popular and doesn’t have the stench of Amazon or the “I have to pay for this?” confusion of Prime.

Didn’t watch him on CNN. Won’t be watching him on streaming.

They’ll just put a sticker on it that says “contains milk”. This is like one of those Tesla recalls that is really just a software update done to meet federal or state requirements.

If you had chronic back pain, you might consider paying for that upgrade. Normal plane seats are painful.

This story is from 2017.

“Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn. You see, if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend!”

Get ready for shitreplacing as well.

Tricinosis was commonly found in pork before modern food prep. It’s likely why it was a forbidden meat in many middle eastern cultures. Look at the list of animals that spread the disease — it’s not like ancient Jews would be eating walrus.

A lot of these ancient traditions came about because someone got sick from eating or doing something.

Onions and potatoes don’t give you trichinosis.

Doesn’t mean you’re not smart. People’s brains work differently. Some people enjoy thinking five moves ahead, or memorizing standard plays and reactions. Other people are good at math or chemistry. Talents aren’t an “all or nothing” thing.
