  • Apple has a self repair program where they send you the tools and parts needed for the repair that you return the tools and broken parts when you’re done.

    Haven’t done one myself since I but I’ve read of others success stories with the process. The parts are not as cheap as going third party but if you’re buying your owns tools it might end up cheaper overall.

















  • Why is android superior then iOS, why, and how is it safer then iOS

    It isn’t superior or safer. Whatever you did to your phone to install spyware will not project you any bette by using android.

    I’m not even sure what you could have installed that would break out of the app sandbox. It’s likely to I have some device management profile installed, but even that seems unlikely. It’s also possible your phone compromised but that’s typically requires a state level attack.

    I’m actually leaning towards drug use or carbon monoxide poisoning. Yeah, it is that weird and you sound that paranoid.


  • This is copying a similar feature Apple added a while back.

    Given androids hardware situation and love for collecting all the data l, I understand why people don’t want to give biometrics to their Android devices.

    With the data and access our smartphones have, a numerical pin regardless of length, should not be an option anymore.

    I am surprised that neither platform is allowing voice authentication as a biometric. I’m not sure if Google supports it but Siri can already tell who is speaking.


  • A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

    The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

    I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

    The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

    There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.
