No, the deception was what got them fined. However, why do you think they chose to go with the deception, knowing that they were risking fines? Oh, right, it's because the slowing definitely would've been a problem if they had dis

No, actually, it IS that the battery was flat, and it IS an option. Apple chose to use a battery which was not durable enough for the requirements imposed upon it by their design. I'm not sure why you think that they couldn't ha

Or perhaps it's naive (and misleading and fraudulent) for business leaders to say "never" when they know it's not true and/or that they can't guarantee it. If you say something, you should mean it, and you shou

Really? You're going to suggest that Google is the worse perpetrator of planned obsolescence when Apple still slows down phones and uses their flawed design as a scapegoat (and originally did it secretly and lied about it)? Okiedoke.

An iPhone SE from 2016 has about 2 hours of battery life left and is slow as molasses to eke even that little out of it. I know because we have one that my toddler gets to play with once in a while. That's the only thing it's usef

When did I say it had to be perfect? All I said was that this is a CPU, not a computer. I even explicitly said that it was "a semantic nitpick". I'm sorry that you are unable to read.

Uhh, I'm not sure where you see the word "extension" on your [1], but I don't. Registrants can include info like file extensions with their registration, but those extensions are not registered (not by IANA, anyway).

A better analogy would be overlooking the weed in your CI's yard because he turns in meth cookers. The only reason for the government to see it that way is because someone powerful wanted them to.

Huh? No, the author's definition of computer is overly narrow. A CPU is NOT a computer. The ONLY thing he built was a CPU. I'm not sure why that's difficult to understand.

A semantic nitpick, this doesn't give you an understanding of how "computers" (by which I mean a modern PC, x86, lots of peripherals and microcontrollers and a CPU inside your CPU and etc.) work, but rather how a CPU works. Y
