DMCA § 1201 makes reverse engineering modern consoles illegal.
Any modern game console has some form of decryption, which can be argued to prevent access.
This is when we run into the chicken/egg problem because you can't write emulation without violating 1201. It is also in part the argumentation Nintendo used in the yuzu case.
Marketplace developers will need to pay €0.50 for each first annual install of their marketplace app. First annual installs included in your Apple Developer Program membership can’t be used for marketplace apps.
Apple really makes you pay for it.
Both are problems to solve, architecture is as much of a problem as data.
Data has the problem of getting successively tainted by LLMs as well as the lack of open high-quality datasets.
While architecture has the problem of shifting too much focus on a flawed architecture - transformers.
got attention from this tweet: https://twitter.com/jarredsumner/status/1675732777873063936?...

The question should be "why". The reason is that we find ways to utialize it. Once Moores law or the essence of it comes to an halt, more effort will be put into making things more efficient.
Maybe that's even a bit too pesimistic. Cloud computing already gives companies incentive to focus on efficiency for cost saving and there is a growing trend to write simpler more performant software to replace existing tools, however not specifically in the general purpose computing space.
The thought process of apple is that every saved person is worth whatever cost it might have especially if you as a company don't get to carry it. And the topic is fairly hard to discuss given that justification. You only need one single case where the feature was helpful to win the argument.
I think the bug tracker around jpegXL support showed high interest and support for it already².
Having it opt-in also does means most websites can't use it given that the vast majority of their userbase are on default settings.

It might be good to add a respectful comment on the issue on github to emphasize the UX issues it creates.
There is a lot of unfounded fear about AI in general lately.
Reality is that AI features rarely replace anyone but amplify the individual that can incorporate it in their skillset.
The best option would be if models like Imagan, Dall-E and Midjourney all followed this open principle, as each of the approaches has its strengths and weaknesses and could potentially learn from each other to improve.
Zigs makes cross compiling easier and is on par with c/c++ in terms of performance. There is no magic trick else just personal preference i assume.
This also dismisses that apple controls the platform and hardware what means it can easily and does use this position to their advantage.
The iphone is over a decade old and safari should have been established as the default choice for users by now. Still the majority of comments points out that a open platform will lead to users switching away from safari. I think its not a legit concern if a product fails to meet the users requirements in that time period.
I think you put up an impossible task by asking for evidence supporting impact.
The reality is that the highest impact on user share is the default browser.
Shortly after that is habit and user experience and this is what apple controls, it is fairly easy to restrict options for the competition or use dark patterns to impact the ux and apple is using this already to their advantage.
The reality here is that we need to be objective and ask what benefits the user gets from this restrictions and what risks they bring and i think two decades of defaults do make a lot of people ignore that instead of being critical.
Brave essentially plays the advertisement business well. They advertised with speed and privacy for the majority time while not providing anything more than a adblock build into the browser.
The browser is still very crypto based and comes with their own build in add service and crypto currency.
Only very recent they started to add some fingerprint protection, its still only a very small subset of fingerprinting but it potentially blocks some approaches of it.
There is still a big question mark about the browser, because the base building block of privacy is trust and Brave has many times showen that it might not a trustworthy company with issues that only got addressed after public outrages.
You count as fully vaccinated with 2 doses.
The minimum time between 2 vaccinations is 2 weeks but it might be better to have a longer interval according to research².
Recovered need to wait for a minimum of 21 days before getting a vaccination.
Vaccination need to be refreshed after 270 days.
Regulations up to recent was 3g (since august).
The implementation was the following:
- FFP2 Mask mandated in essential services like pharmacies, grocery store and postal offices for everyone.
- No Mask or distancing mandate for anyone who was vaccinated or recovered.
- Mask mandate and a negative covid test that is not older than 24/48h depending on the testing method for non vaccinated for anything outside of essential services.
Some data points.:
Austria has a around 60% vaccination rate² and around 12% of the population had an documented infection³.
Herd immunity is a discussion point but scientists are undecided how high the numbers need to be. Estimates from earlier this year did talk about 60% but this number was raised and some experts even say its impossible.

Austria also discusses switching to 1G what would mean that only people who count as fully vaccinated would not be locked down but there is still discussion on the definition and limitations of this.
There is also further discussion about requiring PCR-Tests for the non restricted groups.
I think he is referring to this:

The elephant in the room here is that apple controls the browser and app store and therefore dictates limitations/experience pwa gives to developers/users.
Very possible, there seems to be a follow up tweet from the author that points out that he exaggerated.
The point is that you should stay critical. People love to glorify the Linux userbase when Linux is often not a economical option.
You will find a lot of stories about it on google. Here is one: https://steamcommunity.com/app/332250/discussions/0/49463250...

A lot of the time i see people/youtubers mention that they like the benefits of the App store that would be gone if anything changes.
But why is this invalidated by allowing allowing the user to install software from other sources, allow a the user to install a browser that is not a skin on top of safari, allow non apple game streaming services on the platform, allow the use of images/text that mentions or shows competing software company logos/names, allow apps to show price differences in payment processing or allow established payment methods like PayPal to be used on the platform.
If would still allow the same user to only use apple pay or the apple version of their loved service of choice but also gives users that don't alternatives.
I am not very knowledgeable of the US law but a law websiste² does point out that anti competitive behavior is punishable, a monopoly position is not. I personally would label a lot of things apple does (like e.g. not allowing game streaming from 3rd parties, not allowing the use of other browsers, not allow people to use existing payment infrastructure, ...) as anti competitive.
A layer on youtube³ however says throughout multiple videos that epic has a (if even)very weak case and apple is in the right.
I would be interested to have someone break it down to understand the case.
UMatrix will block everything by default(more or less). Ublock will use pre defined lists that block known advertisement networks and similar.
This means umatrix will break most websites by default and require you to check what elements are required and allow them manual but offers higher security because you essentially audit every website you visit.
Because you want to reach >800M users and want everyone to have access to it?
Any comparison will have flaws but Phoronix has a track record for having bad non Linux benchmarks. People complain because they want a fair comparison.
Benchmarks are vital. They can give you an estimate of how your application performs. They also often showcase how optimized a product is on different platforms.
And it only took legal fraud accusation and online media coverage to resolve that. Trustworthy :)
