You mean for other people to use? You'd lose any copyright case in Europe. You mean for your own personal use? I'm pretty sure if they limit it only to people who can be bothered to set up a camera pointing to a monitor and cleane

The German verdict would apply EU wide unless another court overrules it, and is useful precedent to getting similar judgements elsewhere. To be honest though, I don't think they need to win, just get clarity. YouTube have almost certa

Also don't be surprised that your not for profit folds very quickly. YouTube got to be YouTube because Google sank enormous amounts of money into it for no return for a decade. Indeed, YouTube probably still hasn't broken even if

They won't want to, but I suspect they would prefer it to the actions demanded by the ransom. Nobody legitimate can do anything with the released information if the hackers leak it. It's a huge patent red flag. They could with the

I can see why it's attractive when the alternative is no card at all.

Yes, though the closure of dollar clearance services by US and UK banks also stopped the large important payments, at least via the West. There will still be some facility to do it via China, but China's largest banks are also baulking

The (insane) UK trade industry body for Age Verification providers believes every site on the internet should be forced to only carry content suitable for under 13s, or should block all access from VPNs in case anyone from the UK is using t

The Epic launcher supports Macs. There's not much software that supports Macs, but there's increasingly little on Steam too that runs on a modern version of MacOS too because of Apple's decision to abandon the space.

That is, ultimately what is happening. You can probably see Apple's actions as attempting to hold their position best they can to try and drag that action back a little bit, but I think it's going to backfire badly.

It is baffling what anybody involved was thinking here. I assume there had to be huge cost savings, because they've essentially destroyed the business. It is an absolute UI dumpster fire. I don't think I could design a worse techn

Incorporating in another country wouldn't do them much good either to be honest, unless they also intend to stop selling in the US and Europe.

Some of the Samsung Galaxy Watch models support downloading tracks from Spotify directly to the watch for offline listening FWIW. I do it because like you I find running with a phone a bit of a pain.

If Apple could do that they wouldn't need to control the signing process. They do because most of what you're discussing as "intellectual property" isn't protected from independent implementations.
