The sentence you highlighted holds the answer.

(legally)

You’re operating on presumption that there’s still rule of law in the US. Elon Musk also has de facto control of the government.

I figured linking straight to the site was good way to just show what’s going on and assumed most people interested would understand the context, but I see how it might not have been the best idea.

Not german, but my parents reason for getting rid of their tesla this week was Musk going crazy

I posted the video as it might be more interesting to most people. The Github page can be found here: https://github.com/GearsProgress/Poke_Transporter_GB

Google needs 5% of my country’s total energy consumption to run a single data center.

This already happened after the “adpocalypse”. A lot of channels turned off ads on their videos and started doing direct sponsorships instead. After a while, YouTube decided they would just show ads on every video, even if the uploader had disabled them.

Yet, for all we know and ever will know, it's exactly how their feature might work.

We already know how it works, it’s based on App Intents. It’s how Shortcuts has worked for years, just instead of meticulously making your shortcuts for each automation you want to do, you essentially get an ML model to make one on the fly.

The company might still be around, but the product has suffered major damage. I’ve been hopelessly addicted to Twitter for a long time, and couldn’t get myself to stop using it after the sale even if it went against my morals. But over time the site just got so unusably bad that I eventually couldn’t put up with it anymore and the problem solved itself.

I started on Remicade, but sadly I was one of the few who didn’t see results and I managed to get a lot sicker while waiting for it to do its thing. I got put on Upadacitinib and so far I feel a lot better, if it keeps working this well then I’m very happy to just have a pill to take daily. It’s pretty new, but from what I’m hearing it’s very effective.

Prominently displaying “AI” labels on all this garbage content is surely gonna bite them in the ass when it comes to the public perception of a technology they seem to be going all-in on…

Yes it is, it just isn’t as big of a target for bad actors because it’s a much less personal device with way fewer users.

That used to be my stance as well, but the App Store has gotten so bad in recent years. These days if there’s an app I want to install, it’s much easier to find the app store link on the developers page than to search in the App Store. At this point the “user experience” argument isn’t really there beyond easy payments and subscription management.

I have Crohn’s disease and while there’s still a lot that isn’t understood, it’s clear that it’s linked to highly processed food. Crohn’s is more prevalent in western populations and it’s rising in places that are adopting western diets. There are studies showing that patients who don’t see results from medication can still achieve remission through a strict Mediterranean diet.

Obesity is a huge problem and the spotlight on it is warranted, but it’s also a very simple issue to understand and deal with. The effects of ultra processed foods are more complex and far less understood.

In norwegian we use the phrase “snakke rett fra levra”(speaking from the liver). It means you’re speaking your honest opinion.

Apple fearing or assuming their rules are unpopular would be even worse. My point is I don’t see why this limitation exists beyond Apple desperately trying to keep non EU users from using EU app stores.

There’s a process in iOS called “countryd” that calculates a country code based on sensor data from GPS, cellular and wifi. If the country code matches an EU country, you get DMA features. I assume the thirty days is how long you have to be abroad for the country code to update, but I don’t know that.

I don’t know how it works, but I don’t see why it would need to leave the device.

This is very interesting because there’s really no reason for this limitation to exist with regards to EU users. The only reason I can see for this is that Apple knows their rules are so unpopular that users from the rest of the world might go as far as travel abroad or start trafficking devices to get around them.

I too hope Android thrives. Even though I enjoy my iPhone for it’s design choices and it works for my use, I do understand the issue of ceding so much control to a single entity. Android’s existence as an “escape hatch” is certainly part of the value proposition of the iPhone to me.

I’m not defending Apple’s stance here, but I think the point they were making is that Epic had already admitted to intentionally breaking their previous agreements with Apple for their own gain. The court then ruled that Apple could ban Epic for any reason. Sweeney essentially called the new terms illegitimate while at the same time entering a new agreement where those terms applied to Epic. It’s somewhat understandable that, when seeing that, Apple would not trust Epic to not intentionally break the rules again.

I personally think it’s silly to believe that Apple cares even a little about Epic’s criticism. They probably thought they had a legitimate case that would let them stomp out a potential big App Store competitor before it could get off the ground.

Worst case scenario a hundred or so people might lose their lives, best case scenario there might be a few more of the issues we’ve seen. Someone has probably come to the conclusion that it’s worth taking the gamble and not hurting Boeing unless there’s a more serious incident.

The Olympics are a live event, delaying the broadcast by days to cater to your niche nitpick about image quality would indeed be whimsical

Today's youth are definitely not the rebellious counter-culture youth from my younger days.

They absolutely are, you have just become part of the culture they’re countering. Of course there’s conformity within a group or it wouldn’t really exist, but the main reason young people are so turned off by Android phones is that they are mainly associated with older family members who wanted to save a few bucks and substantially compromised on utility in the process. I’m in my 20s and I know this from experience, my mom gets substantially more utility out of her iPhone than my dad who’s an order of magnitude more technologically literate gets out of his Android phone. It doesn’t matter to teenagers that an Android phone could be as good as their iPhone when the optics are so bad. It doesn’t help that, for them, there isn’t a meaningful difference between the platforms beyond price and maybe piracy either. The actual movement among youth against iPhones is against phones in general, it’s a trend to use “dumbphones” because many feel smartphones are taking too much space in their lives.

We have a local variation of mustard that has only recently become popular nationwide. My dad is a diehard fan and I always found it amusing how he made sure he brought a few bottles every time he went to the US. He really didn’t want to be without it, but it also apparently intrigued some americans who supposedly really liked it.

I have the exact same watch model as the poster and I’ve recently had it die within hours on random days when it usually lasts more than a day. Hopefully it’s the same thing and not some unrelated obscure issue…

I think it’s weird how we talk about phones like they are the problem and not social media. I love my phone, it’s one of the most useful things I own. I also had problems with wasting time and attention on social media and I solved it by uninstalling whatever apps I felt had a negative effect on my life.

It’s worth mentioning that there are accessibility options that let you control the pointer using your index finger or wrist instead of your eyes and it looks pretty nice. I do think that Apple chose eye tracking in large part to combat fatigue and not require external hardware for basic operation. For longer sessions where you’re constantly interacting with apps, a mouse and keyboard is the best option just like on Mac.
