school-issued machines
Stopped reading right there. Whenever you are issued a device, you should immediately assume it’s being monitored by the owner of the device. This goes for school/job/etc. The owner of the device will always be monitoring it for reasons of making sure you are using the device for intended purpose to making sure you aren’t using it for illegal purposes.
I’m sorry I proved you wrong to the point you had to resolve yourself to personal attacks. Do you feel better now?
Really?.. Wow, not only did you copy pasta one of the oldest trolls online but you can’t understand how illogical the troll is. And you want to accuse me of being a child?
Your comment was disproved here… In 2018. And it wasn’t a new idea then either.
Your comment? I’m pretty sure yeah it was, and a really old one
So what you’re saying is the biggest companies like Amazon, Google, ChatGPT, etc… can’t perfect voice dictation when I’m talking directly and clearly to my device, but this company has been able to figure it out. And doing it while hiding from the smartphone OS that it’s doing it. While the device is at a distance/hidden in my pocket. And is using it just to sell ads.

This resistance comes in response to a coordinated push by India’s top telecom operators — Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea — to bring OTT services under a new authorization framework.
Jio, India’s largest telecom operator with more than 475 million subscribers, and other telco operators have recommended that OTT providers contribute to network development costs based on their traffic consumption, turnover and user base.
This is one of those times that ISPs want not just their customers to pay them, but big companies online should also pay them since it’s their services that are being used on their networks.
While on this subject, here is the iFixIt list of repairable smartwatches.
If it matters, the judge is a Republican.
They seem to be in the news more often…
They can’t sell Brazilian ads to Brazilians, as that needs an office/presence in Brazil. This hurts the value of ads that Xitter can charge when dealing with users in Brazil (Brazil is the largest economy in South America, and with Xitter already having ad money problems, it isn’t a good thing for them.)
So while they could still show ads to Brazilians, the fact is it would be for companies with offices outside Brazil, something not many would care about.
Apple had a different judge and they said that it’s ok what Apple does with iOS and it’s app store.
“Information wants to be free”, it never was. Thats only a small part of the quote. The whole quote is:
Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. …That tension will not go away.
Never seen those before on my Samsung tablet.
People said the same thing about the notch in iPhone screens, and the removal of the head phone jack. They even said it about larger iPhones. And just like all these other “ideas” that should be skipped, people will buy it.
Ugh… This was already mentioned before in another channel. Did you even read the rules? Modding you down and banned.
(These actions haven’t been better, in fact they tend to be worse. I’ll take PC forums over this ego tripping mod actions).
You forgot to add that Apple tracks your behavior so they can sell you targeted ads.
They are PC that have NPUs (Neural Processing Units) in the CPU/SoC, and a few other requirements.
Apple makes it hard, if not impossible, to leave their ecosystem. And they are a large enough entity (in the USA where this is based) to use and abuse this size and influence.
With Android, if i don’t like Samsung, i can use Google, Motorola, etc. Same with Windows. I can buy Microsoft Surface devices, or Dell, HP, etc. I could also buy a Linux computer, Chromebook, Macbook, Android tablet, iPad, etc…
With iOS, it’s Apple or nothing. This makes Apple a gatekeeper, and a dangerously strong one. For more and more people, their “computer” is their smartphone, and with iOS, Apple is the first and final word. Want to sell to an Apple user digitally, Apple must get a cut, and they must approve of it. This just further empowers Apple, as they have more and more power and sway into what can and can’t be done. Combined with the fact as I mentioned that Apple makes it so hard to leave them. It is this size and power that makes them a monopoly, not their popularity. It’s the same thing that happened to Microsoft with it’s monopoly lawsuits. It wasn’t they were “just popular”, its they used their size and power to limit/surpress competition to empower/enrich themselves.
As for your example of “better like Microsoft”, I do have options, and those options will still allow me to leave them easily and non-painfully, or at least if I still use Windows I can use apps regardless of what Microsoft thinks or giving them more money “just because”. Apple iOS doesn’t allow this. As for power companies, ISP, streaming options, these aren’t the same subjects so I’m not going to address them. And before it comes up, no, consoles aren’t apart of this because they are marketed and sold as limited functionality devices. iPhones and iPads are sold as fully functioning devices (see “There is an App for That” and “Whats a PC?” marketing from Apple).
The USA has gone through this before with things like Bell Telephone and Standard Oil. They were too big and powerful that the only way to fix it was to break them up. The hope is that instead of breaking up Apple like those past examples is to prevent them from abusing their power and size before they get that large and dangerous.
Also, remember that Google is in the final processes of monopoly abuse lawsuits, Amazon is being sued for monopoly practices, Disney was sued for antitrust a few years ago, and Ticketmaster is being sued for monopoly charges. So, its not just only Apple here. And these are just the lawsuits from the US government, not even including EU nations, other companies, etc…
Issue here is the iPhone 14 USA models are all e-Sim. They don’t have sim cards to remove. The article says it was a iPhone 14 Pro.
I don’t feel it is. They aren’t saying that their physical requirements should be free (computers, engineers, programmers, electricity, etc…) which is what is being used for the analogy (cheese, ingredients, etc…).
It would be better to claim “I run a sandwich shop and couldn’t afford to run it if I had to pay for every recipe, idea, and technique I use in the business.”
Now, it’s not as simple as this, and I’m not claiming it is. But this example isn’t anywhere near correct. It’s like the old claim that pirating something is the same as stealing it. The usage on one thing doesn’t equal the loss of something physical.
It’s one of those reasons why laws about this are difficult. Too strict and no one would be able to do “fan”-anything and many other issues (“if it uses AI” takes out many digital tools, etc…), too loose and you don’t really have laws at all.
