Brüssel hat entschieden: Apple darf den Digital Markets Act nicht ausbremsen. Damit beginnt für das iPhone in Europa eine neue Phase. Mehr Offenheit ist Pflicht.
Ich bin da immer hin- und hergerissen. Als Kunde würde ich mich natürlich freuen, wenn Funktionen wie das vereinfachte Pairing von Bluetooth-Geräten auch für Apple-Externe Geräte zur verfügung steht. Ich verstehe aber auch Apples Perspektive, dass sie nicht einfach so die Schnittstellen, in die sie viel Geld investiert haben, der Konkurrenz zur Verfügung stellen möchten.
@afisch Und die Umstellung für andere Geräte plus die „Sicherheit“ kostet auch wieder, nicht das sie keines hätten. Wie auch immer es ist nie gut wenn Personen, die „keine“ Ahnung von der Materie haben, in solche Sachen eingreifen. Schon gar nicht zusammengewürfelte Regierungs-Organisationen, wir regen uns ja auch mehrheitlich über den orangen Typen in den Staaten auf.
MAGA influencer-turned-FBI Director Kash Patel is, once again, live-tweeting an active investigation—publishing a photo of “evidence” and pronouncing it one of many "politically motivated attacks." trib.al/Qq7yvF2
Do not bail your Republican #colleagues out. Do not help them pass their disastrous budget. And do not give up your demand that any final budget must address #healthcare and must stop illegal impoundments and rescissions. act.citizen.org/page/88497/pet…
Super Typhoon Ragasa slammed Hong Kong with high winds and dangerous storm surge along the coast. Dramatic video captures the horrifying moment giant waves crashed into the lobby of a hotel.

There has been a concerted plan to put the blame of mass shootings on trans people, we can expect this cycle of desperately trying to blame it on trans people every time there is an act of violence occurs to repeat
Meanwhile the media will continue to be unable to identify white supremacist motivated mass murders
Probably even worse, since the media is consolidating even further
"Trump and Vance are making clear that they consider it their right, and their pleasure, to murder anyone, anywhere, for any reason or for no beyond a passing whim. That’s an ugly message to Venezuelans. It’s an ugly message to the UN and Americans as well."

@moonrabbit When I was about 16, I used to repair damaged VHS tapes for the local video library - usually it was the first part of the tape that got mangled, and I used to cut out the damaged bit and splice it back onto the header using a razor blade and little jig my dad had for it.
