It gives Sam pause to hear that Ross is keen on making Captain America part of the American government once…

On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk through all of Samsung’s announcements and try to figure out whether “Apple products but for Android” is actually a winning strategy. It might be! Plus, we debate what to make of Samsung’s somewhat lackluster…

Zwischenablage-Manager Maccy: Letztes Update vor dem Neuanfang Der Zwischenablage-Manager Maccy ist in Version 1.0 erschienen. Mit diesem Update stellt der Entwickler der App die Arbeit an der ursprünglichen Version von Maccy größtenteils ein. Die App soll in der Folge nun komplett neu aufgebaut und mit Unterstützung für die neuesten Apple-Technologien ausgestattet werden. Wir haben im vergangenen Monat bereits über diesen Plan des Entwicklers berichtet. Die grundlegende Überarbeitung der App öffnet nicht nur die Türen für zusätzliche Funktionen, sondern sollte gleichermaßen die Arbeit des Entwicklers vereinfachen und die Leistung der Anwendung bei ihren Nutzern verbessern. Einziges Manko ist die Tatsache, dass künftige Versionen von Maccy nicht mehr mit älteren Versionen des Mac-Betriebssystems als macOS 14 kompatibel sein werden. Der Entwickler hat mit Blick auf diese Einschränkung aber auch schon dargelegt, dass…
