That's because launched iOS 14 on September 16th and will soon launch iOS 14.2. What about iOS 14.1 you ask?

Ask HN: How to find “senior” jack of all trades jobs?
23 by stevenhubertron | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I have been in my current role for about 6 years. While I wasn't hired for it specifically, my average week has my time split between product management, managing a small team to develop those products, ux design, and front-end JS/Python development. It's really a roll where I am all over the place and I do really enjoy it. However, due to the Covid reality in the world right now I am starting to think my time here is up. How can I find another job that isn't specialized to one specific roll as I really do enjoy being a jack of all trades master of none and would like to continue to do that in my next role. I'm also fairly experienced with 16 years of "jack of all trade" type positions.

Android 11 update roadmap for Nokia smartphones leaks

HMD Global did a little blunder recently when it decided to tweet the Android 11 update roadmap for Nokia smartphones and then delete it quickly afterward. That usually means that the company is not ready to commit to those dates highlighted in the document, so take the information with a grain of salt even if it comes through official channels.

As many Nokia fans already know, HMD Global usually updates all its smartphones, regardless of the hardware inside. That being said, it's no surprise that we're seeing devices like Nokia 1 Plus and Nokia 1.3 on the list of devices eligible for an ...

We've been asked this question multiple times. If both Apple and Google take a 30% cut of in-app purchases, why is Apple and the App Store considered a monopoly while Google and the Play Store are not? It comes down to this: Apple does not allow iOS users to install apps from third-party stores. Thus, the infamous walled garden forces iPhone users to install apps from the App Store even if it means paying more for an app. Google allows Android users to sideload apps from third party app stores such as the Amazon appstore or Samsung's Galaxy App Store thus giving Android users the opportunity ...
