- There is no cookie banner law, only an informed tracking consent law. Companies could follow the DNT header. They don't. They chose to inflict the banner on you, the worst way to comply to the law they could find, and managed to make you blame a pro privacy text for their choice. - Apple changed cable without the EU once and would have changed again (remember the 30 pins?). They even didn't bother providing one at a point. At least this way we all get a uniform version that is cheap and can charge non phone devices. - "yet another spying apparatus". Apple is one of the biggest advertiser in the world, and was part of the PRISM program. Their genius is to make you believe they don't spy on you. And noone force you to use the alternative store. That's called choice. Something I know Apple users are not big on. If only people spent 10% of the energy they use to defend billion dollar bullies on caring about freedom.

i didn't "defend bullies." i just expressed my annoyance at the second order effects of the EU's diktats, which are a bunch of annoyances to me personally. i guess i should be glad i have the "freedom" to see useless cookie banners all over the net, and the "freedom" to not use my perfectly functional cables. in my view, you’re the one defending bullies. wielding the power of the state to control free enterprise is like pointing a gun at somebody to get your way. "do what i say, or else" is what a bully does. > noone force you to use the alternative store i get the strong feeling you didn't really read what i wrote

>> And now the car stereo doesn't work through a wire to my phone any longer. > Remember 30 pin? I’ll do you one better: The first 30pin was widely deployed to all sorts of cars, and the majority of those hardwired the end that plugged in to the car. Then Apple changed the 30pin wiring while keeping the actual connector the same. The 30pin still plugged in, but it no longer charged the device nor passed audio through to the stereo.
