    • I do get the frustration, so I am not trying to make excuses, but it is important to understand that a word processor is not a page layout tool, so there really shouldn't be an expectation that two different word processors will lay a page out the exact same way. Even if you move past the obvious of different default margins and spacing settings, there are differences in the way font rendering and orphan control work. The frustration you are talking about is exactly with the PDF format exists. We have gotten somewhat spoiled by 25 years of MS Word being the only common word processor, but all these exact issues existed in the 90s when we had WordPerfect, Ami Pro, ClarisWorks and Word. It was for that exact reason there was a need for a universal page layout format such as PDF.
    • The ITC might ban the sale of iPhones with BOE displays in the US by Hamid Ganji Apple iPhones with BOE displays may face a sales ban in the United States due to patent infringement disputes between Samsung Display and BOE, the Chinese supplier of displays for Apple. As reported by Korean outlets, a preliminary ruling by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) has determined that BOE has infringed on Samsung Display’s trade secrets regarding OLED panels, which could result in an import ban affecting iPhones that use BOE displays. ITC found that BOE and its seven subsidiaries had violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act. Samsung Display’s lawsuit against BOE was filed in 2023, with the Korean company accusing the Chinese display maker of trade secret infringement for producing OLED panels. Samsung also filed a similar motion with the Eastern District of Texas Court, demanding compensation for its loss of profits and punitive damages. ITC has just issued a preliminary ruling, and the final verdict will be announced in November this year. Then, the US President will have two months to either veto the ruling or let it take effect. According to Korean media, it’s rare for a preliminary ruling to be overturned in the final stages. ITC can now issue two orders: a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order. The first order allows Apple to continue selling iPhones with BOE displays that were imported into the US before the ruling was announced. However, importing infringing iPhones will be banned under the verdict. A cease and desist order affects Apple’s existing inventory, as well as any further production or sales activities involving infringing iPhones in the US. This could be a big blow to Apple’s earnings. Samsung Display, LG, and BOE mostly make iPhone displays. The Chinese supplier usually provides displays for non-Pro iPhone models, such as this year’s iPhone 16e. Meanwhile, according to tipster Jukanlosreve on X, the iPhone 17 Pro models exclusively sold in China might use BOE displays instead of Samsung and LG variants.
    • Thanks but no thanks. My smartphone connected via Bluetooth is enough Teams integration in my vehicle...
    • I can see it now... "This employee left the company, we need to remote wipe their company data from their car. But please make sure they are not driving on the Autobahn when you do that!"
    • From that dashboard screenshot (the second one), it looks like a smushed multi-navigation kludge! There's the top status bar (with assumedly interactive weather and time widgets embedded), the bottom main navigation, the top app nav bar (profile icon, welcome buttons, search bar), the interactivity on the left app panel (refresh icon, calendar entries with interactivity), and the interactivity on the right app panel (scrolling listing with contact details upon activation, call contact shortcut). That's 5 distinct action areas -- and speaks nothing of the (in-app and top status) overlays, expanded panels (main bottom nav), vehicle settings (temps), and... where's the audio settings? speakers/volume? radio/satellite? That cluster-f gets a beautiful 0/5 stars. Like where's the usability UX in the "MB.UX" package?!
