Yeah, but when they get fined 0.004% of their revenue with each violation then it’s hardly even worth worrying about. Legal penalties are basically minor business expenses to these companies - like buying toilet paper for the office bathrooms.

So this isn’t going to be an open and free way for developers to distribute apps over the web to iOS devices in EU markets. “Apple will authorize developers after meeting specific criteria and committing to ongoing requirements that help protect users,” says Apple. Developers will need to be part of Apple’s Developer Program and be registered in the EU. They’ll also need to agree to a number of key undertakings, as outlined by Apple:

The EU needs to drag Apple back into court and keep hitting them over the head until they actually comply.

It’s a long shot, but you could have a chat with the building manager and/or landlord and voice these concerns. I don’t know if they’ll do anything, but you never know.

The police can just purchase the footage instead from Amazon’s ad services.

Canada Computers and sometimes Memory Express.

I’m sure Apple will heavily region-lock this.

Suddenly I am a lot less interested in Kagi.

LGR.

I have some Fiio FH3 IEMs that I use with a Lightning to 3.5mm dongle fairly often. I also have some Airpods that are much more convenient to carry around and use but I do like my wired IEMs for when I want a more focused music listening and am not going to be moving around as much.

Another one for the graveyard.

You’re not wrong, but doing a chargeback is a good way to get yourself yeeted off a service. I would not be surprised at all if Google suspends your account permanently if you chargeback, which is a huge issue if you rely on any of their services.

Update: yup, did some quick searching and found anecdotal reports of account suspension or deletion following a chargeback.

She also highlighted that Meta has not shown compliance with the orders set by Ireland’s Data Protection Act (IE DPA) last year.

Because getting caught and fined a couple million isn’t even a minor business expense to these companies. Stop acting surprised when they don’t follow your rules when you fine them 0.007% of their yearly profits.

Like,

Despite this, Facebook and Instagram remained operational in Norway, where EU data protection laws prohibit such advertising practices. The platforms faced a daily fine of one million Norwegian kroner (around €89,000).

Their bean counters probably laughed out loud when they were told about this, and I wouldn’t blame them. This is a joke. They probably spend more on toilet paper for their office workers. Meta has nearly 200 BILLION (with a B!) in assets. Treat them like it.

Everything disabled except calls, iCloud stuff (iMessage, health, calendar, etc), emails, Snapchat and local weather alerts.

EA, Ubisoft, ActiBlizz. All for their various flavours of greedy nasty and/or sexual abuse. Bethesda is honestly likely to go on the list soon as well.

It does not help that many new vehicles are built like shit and have complexity for the sake of complexity. Electronic door latches, pop-out door handles, having everything controlled via a clunky, outdated, atrocious GUI, etc etc. These problems are not unique to EV’s but a lot of EV’s are going to have them just because they are brand new vehicles.

Doesn’t sound as dramatic or clickbaity.

The changes to the settings menu was the worst for me. Instead of making the settings menu in iOS better they…. made the MacOS settings look like iOS. IE: awful and extremely user unfriendly.

Can’t say I’m a fan of a country-specific holiday being featured like this in an intentionally neutral and international instance. Would have much preferred to see something for the trans day of remembrance.

This is very noticeable on Amazon especially. So many “deals” from budget brands or one-off Chinese brands that nobody has never heard of. This is especially noticeable on Prime Day too.

Can’t say I’m really fond of either name, to be honest.
