I've always suspected that a large percentage of the "improvements and fixes" updates were just to "bump" attention to the app without any actual improvements, now we know that Apple is literally making them do this.
Lol. Unless every app that you came across that made you feel that released updates every 4 years, they're not affected by this issue, so Apple is not making them do that.
Maybe they want to get rid of the old apps that no one maintains anymore. Could possibly bring more profit to them "I bought this a decade ago and I can still use it" Apple: "Oh no you don't, the developer didn't update it in too long a time for our taste, buy these new ones instead! Or try this free one riddled with ads!"

how am I expected to believe someone at google took their watch off, removed the band, and left it there for weeks. And why would they have it on them if it doesn’t power on besides a boot screen.
the shape looked a bit like the old pocket watches so it might not actually have a band, at least not on the prototype and it actually makes sense for it to not boot when separated from its host device, it might not have a full operating system yet and be entirely reliant on the host or it could just need to be connected to boot, wouldnt be the first google device ive heard of that refuses to boot without specific conditions in place, if youve never tried to handle a factory fresh android 1.0 install.... dont, just dont
The power-on issue may be a security feature. Deactivated the moment they realised it went missing or was separated from its pairing device. Surprised it wasn't recovered though after all that time. The interesting thing is with all of Google's tracking data, they didn't find it, maybe we are just paranoid they are seeing and listening to everything. :P
My game was pulled off Google Play after years of not updating it. Sadly, this kind of thing can be a real pain to deal with, as in my case half of the game is broken when I simply try to load up the project in Unity. Not only would I need to get setup for app development again, but I'd have to fix a lot of broken menus and weird issues that came from updating the engine, and completely replace the plugin that was accessing Google Play services (because the one I was using is no longer available) and re-implement with the new one. All that to get a game back on the store which only got a few hundred downloads to begin with. The game never stopped working over the years as I tried it on all my phones. But it's sad to eventually lose access like that. I'd have to change so much just to get it back on the store, at that point I might as well double down and remake the thing entirely. It's hard to justify putting in that much effort for a game that's proved unpopular, but it's almost worse knowing how much effort I put in just to end up without so much as a store listing now. The longer a game goes without updates, the more likely a developer is facing this same sort of tough situation. I'd hate to be in the position where I'm still making money on a bunch of smaller games that each would need a bunch of time to update or else get pulled.

To get rid of media manipulation via bots. Twitter is used to push naritives by having thousands of bot accounts push a story. One current example is the Depp vs Heard trial. It was found that something like 20% of all the accounts pushing news on the trial were all bots with a heavy slant toward Heard. And this is just a dumb celebrity civil suit. Just imagine what happens with political news.
The tracking bot was legally questionable from the getgo (definitely violates Twitter ToS, cyber stalking, though unenforced because Twitter's moderators are obsessed with politics).

The Apple dev story is likely them saying "if your app is not up to at least X SDK, we're not going to allow it to exist due to us pulling support for it/ it's a security risk" - both android and iOS make sure that new updates target an up-to-date minimum SDK level regularly. Hense my suspicion this is them purging old-SDK apps
I used to be an Android dev. Backwards compatibility, even with new features was maintained, within reason. May have changed in the last few years though.
Would love for a hacking group to improve a product and replace backups to reflect that the original product was the updated product to cause confusion.
Actually, at the breakneck pace that Apple deprecates APIs, any app that doesn’t at least update yearly is bound to have deprecated code so it makes sense that they’d implement this rule.
What is the purpose of deprecating APIs so fast? I used to be an Android dev, and modern features usually had backward compatibility for older versions that didn't support them natively... within reason. I still have some apps that I had ages ago that still work fine.
@@xeridea There are several reasons from dumb ones like changing names of functions, to new function implementations that take advantage of dedicated hardware acceleration (ML stuff, etc). When you have control of the entire software + hardware stack, there are a lot you can do to improve things hence the code deprecation
@@shanep.7184 Supporting new hardware does not mean you have to ban old apps, the vast majority of which have no use for new hardware. Android supports older apps while also supporting new hardware. Other OSes have broad hardware support, while also supporting older apps, and also new features. Some new games support raytracing... while also supporting rasterization. It has nothing to do with having full control of the stack, if anything, that makes things significantly easier. If others can support a wide array of hardware, while also innovating and supporting new stuff, there is no reason why Apple, who has a very limited scope can't do the same.
@@xeridea Well Apple has always had certain standards when it comes to apps they’ll allow on the store. Apps that aren’t updated regularly won’t be using the latest and greatest from Apple that does the same things faster, more secure, etc and usually doesn’t require much rework. It just comes down to Apple being willing to let old technologies die in pursuit of being the best/fastest/efficient. This is the company that got rid of Floppy disks, CD drives, and headphone jacks after all.
@@shanep.7184 You mean like how when Apple would force a software update, causing non current devices to suddenly run noticeably slow and laggy? New doesn't mean faster. Often updates can cause major performance regression. Updating an app regularly doesn't necessarily mean it uses any new OS features. They aren't saying you need to use any new features, just that you update it. So you could change 1 line of text, push an update, and be fine. I have many apps that in no way would benefit from forced updating. Simple kid games or drawing, general info, etc. Some apps may benefit from new OS features, but the majority won't. There is still the flaw your logic that other companies support a vast array of hardware and stay modern, while still supporting older apps and hardware. There is no technical reason why Apple can't do it. Apple didn't exclusively get rid of floppy drives and CD drives, that was an industry trend to get rid of obsolete tech no one used. Getting rid of headphone jack made no sense. many people still use wired headphones, and there is nothing wrong with doing so, or technical reason why Apple needed to remove it.
I love how people will make fun of free speech but that's the only way to communicate unless you are fighting? I mean we can go back to waring each other but I'd rather just talk it out which is why you need free speech.
I agree. Free speech should be allowed fully. Particularly so in cases where the speech causes controversy or gets people uncomfortable in any way. In my humble, personal opinion, this is a must if we wanna make real societal progress. The only reason I think some people are opposed to this, is because those people really don't know any way to communicate with a person/idea they disagree with except by hurling insults and fighting verbally. Basically all people are like this though, which points to a bigger issue. People just don't know how to communicate/resolve an issue when it really counts, that is, when talking to someone you deeply disagree with or someone that you hate because of some reason. I'm guilty of it myself, but I'm aware of it and am working on bettering myself. I don't think the same can be said for most people.
Would it really? I think Twitter just enables us to see more easily what already exists in the world. It won't stop existing if suddenly Twitter stops being a thing.
As a person that was forced onto the t-mobile platform because we were stuck with sprint. The T-mobile 5g is honestly worse than sprints 4g. I barely can keep a connection and load anything outside of my house. And phone calls while driving have now become so bad that just turn my phone off while driving so I don't hear it.

The boring company is literally just money laundering with useless tunneling projects. Where Musk is getting paid 10s of millions from corrupt city governments to dig storm drains under parking lots.
On the plus side it helps you to know who the real bad people are. Everyone should be advocating for free speech regardless of political viewpoint, gender, ethnicity because we should all have a voice. However some people think that they should only have a voice and not others as seen in this video.
You aren't one of those people that think Elon is doing all this for the "free speech" are you? Allowing/disallowing on twitter has nothing to do with free speech.

I don't quite care about elon buying the platform, but I do think that free speech is quite important, regardless of what platform it's on
@@davidcyphers8448 The scoffing is more than likely due to how often its complained about when the situation has nothing to do with it. I.E. thinking being banned on twitter is as an affront to free speech (its not). Free speech is not "under attack." So the scoff is laughing at the idea that people think it is.

Are we going full circle? I remember thinking facebook wall posts were like aim statuses but with a history and comments, now social media is going to be like "what if you want to post but like don't want comments and then you can just update the same post. Yeah!"
We still need to sue FB for Trademarking Meta. Now I cannot talk to people about a meta of something, without them thinking I am talking about the company. It's a lot like how Fine Bros tried to trademark the word React. Yet Facebook was allowed to trademark Meta? I want to talk about various social meta without Zuck's lawyers peering over

**Looks at Twitter** and now we just sit back and wait for the fun to start.
Do people still use twitter? I thought it went the way of MySpace.
Apple removing apps... Oh god is flappy bird.. IM AFRAID!
Nothing better than a cup of fresh tech news with Riley in the morning. It gives me good vibes for the rest of the day.
Would love for a hacking group to improve a product and replace backups to reflect that the original product was the updated product to cause confusion.
Technically Elon now owns Vine too
4:51 i couldn't stop myself from laughing, worst/best part is i dont even feel bad for em
LOL, the "Buy us, Elon!" at the end!
1:52 omfg IT REALLY IS A GOOGLE WATCH
Its the Dawn of a new era.
Actually, at the breakneck pace that Apple deprecates APIs, any app that doesn’t at least update yearly is bound to have deprecated code so it makes sense that they’d implement this rule.
What is the purpose of deprecating APIs so fast? I used to be an Android dev, and modern features usually had backward compatibility for older versions that didn't support them natively... within reason. I still have some apps that I had ages ago that still work fine.
@@xeridea There are several reasons from dumb ones like changing names of functions, to new function implementations that take advantage of dedicated hardware acceleration (ML stuff, etc). When you have control of the entire software + hardware stack, there are a lot you can do to improve things hence the code deprecation
@@shanep.7184 Supporting new hardware does not mean you have to ban old apps, the vast majority of which have no use for new hardware. Android supports older apps while also supporting new hardware. Other OSes have broad hardware support, while also supporting older apps, and also new features. Some new games support raytracing... while also supporting rasterization. It has nothing to do with having full control of the stack, if anything, that makes things significantly easier. If others can support a wide array of hardware, while also innovating and supporting new stuff, there is no reason why Apple, who has a very limited scope can't do the same.
@@xeridea Well Apple has always had certain standards when it comes to apps they’ll allow on the store. Apps that aren’t updated regularly won’t be using the latest and greatest from Apple that does the same things faster, more secure, etc and usually doesn’t require much rework. It just comes down to Apple being willing to let old technologies die in pursuit of being the best/fastest/efficient. This is the company that got rid of Floppy disks, CD drives, and headphone jacks after all.
@@shanep.7184 You mean like how when Apple would force a software update, causing non current devices to suddenly run noticeably slow and laggy? New doesn't mean faster. Often updates can cause major performance regression. Updating an app regularly doesn't necessarily mean it uses any new OS features. They aren't saying you need to use any new features, just that you update it. So you could change 1 line of text, push an update, and be fine. I have many apps that in no way would benefit from forced updating. Simple kid games or drawing, general info, etc. Some apps may benefit from new OS features, but the majority won't.
There is still the flaw your logic that other companies support a vast array of hardware and stay modern, while still supporting older apps and hardware. There is no technical reason why Apple can't do it.
Apple didn't exclusively get rid of floppy drives and CD drives, that was an industry trend to get rid of obsolete tech no one used. Getting rid of headphone jack made no sense. many people still use wired headphones, and there is nothing wrong with doing so, or technical reason why Apple needed to remove it.
2:14 I can only imagine the updates notes being like: "Changed nothing visible just because Apple wants me to"
We need an download video button
I love how people will make fun of free speech but that's the only way to communicate unless you are fighting? I mean we can go back to waring each other but I'd rather just talk it out which is why you need free speech.
I agree. Free speech should be allowed fully. Particularly so in cases where the speech causes controversy or gets people uncomfortable in any way. In my humble, personal opinion, this is a must if we wanna make real societal progress. The only reason I think some people are opposed to this, is because those people really don't know any way to communicate with a person/idea they disagree with except by hurling insults and fighting verbally. Basically all people are like this though, which points to a bigger issue. People just don't know how to communicate/resolve an issue when it really counts, that is, when talking to someone you deeply disagree with or someone that you hate because of some reason. I'm guilty of it myself, but I'm aware of it and am working on bettering myself. I don't think the same can be said for most people.
The world would be a better place without Twitter.
And without you.
Would it really? I think Twitter just enables us to see more easily what already exists in the world. It won't stop existing if suddenly Twitter stops being a thing.
@@Sal3600 Not a very nice thing to say
That expression from Riley in the thumbnail is great!

Again with the fake throwup at "FreeSpeech" Y'all are freaking me out with that.

He has claimed that Uniions can come in anytime, unmolested. Haven't heard if any are taking him up on it.

No issue there, I’ve seen apps from 13 years ago still floating around without updates

Didn't say bots. He said "spam bots".
Umm since when has the Corvette been a gas guzzler?
As a person that was forced onto the t-mobile platform because we were stuck with sprint. The T-mobile 5g is honestly worse than sprints 4g. I barely can keep a connection and load anything outside of my house. And phone calls while driving have now become so bad that just turn my phone off while driving so I don't hear it.
The "Vibe Check" twitter options has "Driving Highway" as an option. Distracted Driving at it's finest. Oh hold on, let me put my vibe check into driving on the highway.

Never before have I heard someone scoff at the idea of free speech
On the plus side it helps you to know who the real bad people are. Everyone should be advocating for free speech regardless of political viewpoint, gender, ethnicity because we should all have a voice. However some people think that they should only have a voice and not others as seen in this video.
@@thedoubleop completely agreed.
You aren't one of those people that think Elon is doing all this for the "free speech" are you?
Allowing/disallowing on twitter has nothing to do with free speech.
@@Spacewalrus2010 I've never used twitter, so I'm out of the loop on the majority of this, I was just stunned that free speech was something that was being scoffed at in the video. I don't quite care about elon buying the platform, but I do think that free speech is quite important, regardless of what platform it's on
@@davidcyphers8448 The scoffing is more than likely due to how often its complained about when the situation has nothing to do with it. I.E. thinking being banned on twitter is as an affront to free speech (its not).
Free speech is not "under attack." So the scoff is laughing at the idea that people think it is.
The meltdown about Elon's takeover is absolutely hilarious seeing both political sides reaction on Twitter no less 😂
Linus is melting down too for some odd reason.
@@Sal3600 he unironically hates Mr. Musk (peace be upon him). His reasoning is bizarre, he claims Mr. Musk (peace be upon him) is an attention seeker and that his free speech claims are dubious, without evidence, of course
@@Sal3600 eh he's free to have his concerns about it for me I can't really care nothing will change drastically for my user experience 😂👍🏻
Get wrecked blue checks. Twitter is a toxic hell hole and requires someone insane like Elon to shake things up.
@@Sal3600 ya lol, they do lean a little on the liberal side imo.

It's a private company. If you don't like it you can leave and make your own Twitter
Or, you know, buy it for billions of dollars. Which is definitely something everyone could do and not at all a sign of how undemocratic our world is due to the existence of obscene wealth.
They should have mentioned elon open sourcing twitter algorithm. If that happens it would be a huge first.
I don't think they want to give him any praise and LTT seems to be in the camp of Free Speech is Bad...
It's because of censorship. Not just bots
Are we going full circle? I remember thinking facebook wall posts were like aim statuses but with a history and comments, now social media is going to be like "what if you want to post but like don't want comments and then you can just update the same post. Yeah!"
We still need to sue FB for Trademarking Meta. Now I cannot talk to people about a meta of something, without them thinking I am talking about the company. It's a lot like how Fine Bros tried to trademark the word React. Yet Facebook was allowed to trademark Meta? I want to talk about various social meta without Zuck's lawyers peering over
Is social meta the new fb platform or something?
Is it trademarked though?

Good Luck to the Guy with the Plane tracker 😉
2:15 You can't tell me those "leaks" aren't intentional
Hoping this bring twitter to centrist.
I mean, if he really follows through with allowing free speech then technically it would be centrist because all walks of life and ideals would be allowed a voice.
Have an old iOS game I purchased back in like the 3gs days; but it stopped getting updated so long ago, it won't even load on anything past like iOS 6 and I had to keep an old device around just for when I wanted to play it (because I still like to play it occasionally as it's still one of my favorite mobile games ever). Bet this one gets deleted for sure.
Whats the name)
Do you have a copy of infinity blade or something? ;P
@@artursaizikovics3433 It's called AR War. It's kind of one of those RISK clones; but it has an American Revolutionary War theme/map. The publisher still has several other games that are similar but with a different setting that are still updated; but for some reason this one was abandoned. I played the free version on my iPhone first, then purchased the full iPhone version, and then later purchased the full iPad version as well. I got an old first gen iPad I really only keep around just so I can still play that game when I want.

Yeah, further artificially filling up your not expandable iphone memory...
Actually, the Corvette has historically NOT been a "gas guzzler" and has avoided the gas guzzler tax (which became law in 1978) until 2009 and that was only for the ZR1 model (not the standard Vette). The same can be said today.
"I collect them in my little pouch."

Almost as much as I love our sponsor, Daddy Elon! Daddy Elon is all about free speech. Sign up to Twitter today to not be silenced by the woke mob anymore.

Actually, corvettes are pretty fuel efficient considering potent v8s. I'd say 25-30mpg
I get 30-32hwy in my 04 and i have it running a little rich.
well for something that can probly go 180mph, 70mph is barely above idle lol
Beat me to it. My C6 Z06 was getting around 27mpg vs 22 mpg on my Golf R.
I was getting little over 30mpg on my '87 C4
Wow. That's impressive
These company employees "forgetting" a one of a kind, special part out in the open? Uh huh.

Same way all Billionaires pay for everything. Take on massive debt through loans then transfer the liability to the company so if you go under your personal wealth is safe.
@@hiurro Yup, same thing Bezos did. Does anyone actuslly believe rich people do anything under their own name? It's way easier to avoid taxes if you make your personally owned company do it, and just transfer it to your name for $1 afterwards.
@@hiurro The fucked up part is that is part of the scheme is he knows his own companies are a bubble so if he buys into other companies Betting against his own no matter what he wins in this situation and everyone else loses. He keeps buying more assets with taxpayer money and loans against the assets purchased with that taxpayer dollars. It's divide and conquer tactics. Except it's securities fraud.
In short. By being Evil.
