It’s a really interesting article about something we might not think about.

It’d be interesting also to try to see how much money they can save by using a lower bitrate or saving energy by using less servers.

It’s a lot of things we take for granted when we’re just watching a show and you don’t think about all the work behind it.

I understand why it’s a loss for some developers, but I don’t think we should prevent Apple from integrating something in iOS just because of it.

You could also say these developers just benefited from the fact that Apple omitted to integrate some obvious features.

I don’t like Apple but I’m forced to admit that the iPhone my employer is forcing me to use and my wife’s 2012 MacBook Pro are good machines.

The MacBook runs Linux like a charm and is making me consider old MacBooks for my next Linux laptop.

I’m also looking forward to testing iOS 18.

I’m looking forward to iOS 18 as I have to run an iPhone for work.

From what I understand, this update is gonna bring a lot of things iOS was lacking in terms of personalization.

Now I would really want them to improve on how things are handled outside of their walled garden as I’ll never buy a new mac (maybe an old one to run Linux) and they’re never gonna convince me with their old tricks of keeping special features between Apple devices.

We need a Linux version or equivalent to iTunes to backup your phone, better interoperability with Windows/Linux…

The iPhone is a great product but I feel like the walled garden is preventing me from fully enjoying it.

Please don’t give them the idea to give up on blurays or physical media.

Full HD is already perfectly fine for most people, so I can’t even imagine how great a bluray in 4k is.

I’m still watching DVD’s and, as long as the movie is great, it’s perfectly enjoyable.

Most people are watching Netflix which is apparently not giving you real full HD or 4k and people are not bothered.

Innovation is great, but having a new format would create the need to have new equipment and create even more e-waste when we can’t manage it already.

When I read this, I’m glad I ain’t using windows anymore.

If it was turned off by default, it would be different as people would be consciously choosing. But turned on by default should be illegal.

As some people are saying, a lot of this isn’t gonna be legal in some countries.

The article is really interesting and all your comments too.

For now I have a negative bias towards AI as I only see its downsides, but I can see that not everyone thinks like me and it’s great to share knowledge and understanding.

Yeah Lemmy is really a perfect replacement without any big downside. I really enjoy the community and the help you can get from it.

I can clearly see this around me.

Not only women, but also elder men, who are really educated but lose their lucidity in front of fake news on the web. I guess it’s also because they come from a time where you were not swimming in fake news.

And sometimes, even if they think it might be fake news, they just send it to you to get your opinion on it.

Sounds like Lemmy to me😇

I don’t what more I could want from such a platform but maybe there is an advantage I’m not seeing.

I’d be really happy about anything bringing more people on Lemmy and the Fediverse, so I wouldn’t complain about it.

Maybe I’m not seeing the big picture as some people seem to be scared of such a move.

Ok thanks for the explanation.

Could someone just give us a quick summary of what LTT is accused of?

Do we know if there is a court case about it? As this would be more interesting than just a release from the company auditing them?

Personally, I clearly don’t know so much about LTT, but I love their videos.

I’m swiss and not a EU fan, but I’m really proud of how they are standing up and facing these huge companies.

We’ve clearly reached a point where these companies need to see that they can’t do everything they want.

Let’s fight for reparability, interoperability and privacy!

Threema is the way to go🇨🇭

That’s why I’ll keep buying physical for the games or movies I love.

The only question I have is what’s gonna happen as game discs are just becoming an access token to download the game and its updates.

I’d have nothing against digital games or movies if you didn’t see such behaviors.

I can’t read the article, but I ain’t surprised by the fact that no one wants to pay more than what Apple is already billing.

They are clearly trying to circumvent the rules just like the bad company they are.

Still I have to admit that their hardware and software is quite good even if I ain’t a fan.

Pas étonné de lire ceci malheureusement.

J’espère que les mentalités vont bientôt changer et que les gens vont bientôt chercher à prolonger la durée de vie de leur matériel plutôt que de jeter des objets parfaitement fonctionnels.

Lemmy topics are now found in search engines but I’m almost never specifically looking for something in Lemmy as I’m just browsing through my feed.

Scary but true…
