Without a formal audit on a variety of BT clients, this isn't really an answerable question. Just because this one issue was discovered in qBT, doesn't mean that there are hundreds more in it, and Transmission, say, has none.
Qt isn't just a GUI toolkit - it's an everything toolkit. It's somewhat intended to be used (potentially) alone with C++ to allow the creation of a wide variety of apps. It includes modules like Bluetooth, Network, Multimedia, OAuth, Threading and XML.
In the spirit of the C++ compiler frameworks that were quite common during the 1990's before C++98, and then we got quite a thin standard library instead, and a mess of how to manage third parties that is still being sorted out.
They're entirely manual. A whole bunch of volunteers write filter rules to block known ads. There's a big github where people can post issues about ads they've found, and volunteers will write filter rules to block them.
I live in NZ, there's no standard here. It's damned annoying. I've heard that Facebook Messenger is the most popular, but I only know one person who uses it and I don't have an account myself.
> By default was missing from the sentence. You can do it with Whatsapp etc, but both you and the other party need to download a 3rd party app to do so.
It's an obvious abuse of their monopoly to suppress competition. Most kids use iPhone and for the general public in the US iPhone has >50% market share, so to expect most people to stop using iMessage to get better support with Android users is not happening, and it's silly to think that will change without a change in laws, so most kids end up getting iPhones so they're not left out.
Remember, this is all a very arbitrary restriction by Apple that lets them take advantage of their monopoly to suppress sales of competitive products. That's the illegal part.
You ever notice you can
-use tires from arbitrary manufacturers
-use oil from arbitrary manufacturers
-drive to arbitrary locations (even offroad in your Corvette)
-use nearly arbitrary accessories
-use a universal port to get error codes (OBD-II)
-make modifications and keep your warranty on unrelated parts
Ask yourself, would MacOs have all of the restrictions an iPhone has? If not even Macbooks block installation of 3rd party applications, why does it change when you add a cell radio?
Honestly,if someone were being paid to change public opinion around the case, this is what i would expect to read. Don't fall for Apple's marketing
Just like I can put cases from arbitrary manufacturers on my iPhone.
> -use oil from arbitrary manufacturers
Just like I can use chargers from arbitrary manufacturers.
> -drive to arbitrary locations
Visit arbitrary websites...
> -use a universal port to get error codes (OBD-II)
OBD-II is actually a good analogy because it exposes only a small set of standardized data, but the more interesting data (and ability to run diagnostics) is sometimes behind a manufacturer proprietary protocol and requires something more than just the standard OBD-II interface. Similarly Apple can choose what standard interfaces and protocols to implement and which proprietary ones they would like to create.
> why does it change when you add a cell radio?
Because that's what Apple chose to build and sell. You're free to build your own phone with your own feature set and sell that.
> Don't fall for Apple's marketing
Fortunately I'm capable of my own rational thought.
Nobody uses iMessage outside the US, by choice, even in iPhone-dominated markets. So clearly it's possible to avoid it. US iPhone users have the same choice.
Do you have an example of a place that has a similar rate of usage for iPhones but primarily uses WhatsApp for texting? In the US the rate is 87% for teenagers, I'm surprised it's that high elsewhere.
iPhone has 51% market share in Japan across all age group[1] (and even as high as 84.8% in some demographic[2]). From my 5 years of living here, Iβve never seen anyone use iMessage even once. The dominant messaging app is LINE.
Seems like LINE became the predominant app way back in 2012 (it released even before iMessage did in 2011), so my guess is that it took hold before iMessage ever had a chance, unlike in the US where texting was always the main way to communicate on phones up until iMessage integrated texting to absorb all those users.
I think the point is that it's kind not entirely accurate to say that Apple doesn't allow messaging interoperability with Android. They in-fact do through dozens of available third party apps. They don't allow non-apple devices to implement the iMessage protocol, which could be argued to be anti-consumer but it's not really evidence of apple being a monopoly.
Edit: Just realized that you I misread your comment and you and I agree
Tragically, a large proportion of manga artists die early. The lifestyle of spending 12 hours a day bent over a desk, frantically drawing, stressing about deadlines, all contributes to a variety of causes of early death.
Treasure your mangaka while they're alive, as theirs is an industry fuelled by passion - often far too much. (And greedy/demanding publishers, but we'll leave that discussion for another time.)
This sort of nitpicking really isn't appropriate for this time and place. It comes off as criticism of Dragon Ball for being aimed at boys, though I understand you did not actually intend that.
A mourning thread is not the place to start arguments about technicalities.
> It comes off as criticism of Dragon Ball for being aimed at boys, though I understand you did not actually intend that.
You're right. It was not a criticism nor value judgement of Dragon Ball, Toriyama Akira, nor Japan.
> nitpicking
You're right. It was a semantic nitpicking of OP's claim of universal transcendence.
> A mourning thread is not the place to start arguments about technicalities.
I agree with you in principal, but HN had no qualms starting arguments about technicalities and non-technicalities when it came to other mourning threads. Recently, there was a nobel nominee where more then half the comments were criticism. Things get especially tribal and protectionist whenever Japan and Japanese pop culture is involved.
> You're right. It was a semantic nitpicking of OP's claim of universal transcendence.
Here's the thing about nitpicking in a high emotion thread. You have to be completely correct if you don't want to be piled on... and especially here, you aren't.
The OP didn't make a claim of universal transcendence, they listed specific categories (cultures, languages, and generations) that the work transcends. Categories that most works don't transcend. This is inherently praise for the author.
Your bringing up of a separate category that it doesn't transcend when there was no original claim that it transcended this category is either off topic, or a criticism.
It's a lot harder to tell older relatives, just go buy a Samsung Android. Likely they will come back with some low end android that the salesperson said was on sale.
Where as If I tell, go get an Apple iPhone. They can pick that up and get the "right one", which ever it is.
I'm not sure I understand. Your relatives can remember to buy Apple but not Samsung?
Also, Samsung offers lower end phones with lesser but still good update policies. They're good phones but a lot cheaper than any iPhone, which should satisfy your older relatives.
If I say buy an Apple iPhone and its very likely they turn up with an iPhone maybe not the one I told them but a new Apple iPhone.
But if I say Samsung Android, they are just as likely to buy some weird no-name Android because it was a color they wanted or size or something the salesman pushed on them cause "Android is Android right?"
Can confirm this is definitely a thing. Though in my case has to do with PC's. My mother needed a new computer and when searching online for a windows laptop, she always ended up looking at the cheapest garbage on sale. Im talking laptops that cost half as much as her iphone. But tell her to look for a mac and she will have to start looking at more expensive devices that won't be e-waste in 2 years. Pretty bizarre.
That said, you really shouldn't be running outdated torrent clients, like any network-connected programs. Case in point - the topic of this thread.
