Unless a company is being anticompetitive and actively blocking other entries into the same market, then they shouldn’t be punished with regulation for having a large share of a given market segment. This feels like punishing companies for

If your experience has been fine, then clearly they aren’t doing anything inherently bad in a way that hurts the consumer, why would you want them to be hit with additional regulation? I’d also argue they aren’t a gatekeeper to begin with b

Please just let me run macOS apps and I’ll buy one tonight. I’d even pay a software unlock for it. It’s the perfect convergence device if only Apple would let it be.

What does that have to do with it? They’ll sell whatever stock they have - most people end up ordering upgraded models so the field split is skewed. You’re reaching acting like Apple is purposefully creating environmental damage when they d

Apples devices are in the field longer than most OEMs, especially mobile devices you realize? They don’t just trash it when you trade it, they resell as used.

All correct, but this still isn’t a unique scenario. Many games that have been very loved with a very active community have had the same requirement over the years, helldivers wasn’t anything new. I suspect this was just a case of the inter

I hate having to make accounts with publishers for games - so I’m happy that everyone got Sony to back down. I however don’t understand why this game in particular and why Sony in particular received so much backlash, other than it wasn’t r

That’s why you an analyze cause and effect. You should target the highest driving factor and ban that, not blanket ban and catch things in the crossfire that don’t make a statistical difference to what you’re trying to improve - that way yo

That’s just because it needs installed as a system app (read: shipped with the ROM) to access system level permissions. Android will grant them, since it grants them on the Rabbit’s ROM like android would to any system app. It’s still just

You’re correct that the patent should’ve never been awarded, but the regulation still caused a problem today - something that could’ve been avoided if a cause-effect analysis was done. This is a problem statement that is applicable to most

I don’t own a framework device as it’s not my kind of niche, but this seems like a really weird place to throw around the word “trust”. That implies you believe they are doing something shady or nefarious by not making a sd card module - wh

When in tablet mode on a device like the Legion Go or the ROG Ally - clicking the search bar in the start menu closes it and then opens the dumb “search popup”, which breaks your input focus and you have to tap the search bar again. So to s

I wonder how much of this is raw performance and how much is windows is an unoptimized ad and tracking filled mess compared to MacOS.

It seems like based on the (very well written) analysis that this is a way to bypass ssh auth, not something that phones out which would've been even scarier. My server runs arch w/ a LTS kernel (which sounds dumb on the surface,

I’m not in support of the DMA and I’m not in favor of the US suit against Apple, and I too have been wondering how Microsoft - who I’d argue is the most anticompetitive of all, with the longest history of doing so - has escaped all of this

I partook in that discussion on the tech side and the divide was extreme. I think it boiled down to “can a company have a monopoly over a platform they’ve created if that platform itself isn’t a monopoly”. I won’t reiterate my argument or m

That’s one of the most shortsighted views I’ve seen in awhile. They are making air travel more efficient. Improvements in aircraft aerodynamics and engine efficiency to achieve supersonic flight can sometimes apply backwards and make a norm

I’m not the only farm in existence, so they should then go to a different farm (which is even bigger than mine) to raise their sheep.

You’ve just removed a massive financial incentive for making the kind of hardware Apple does. Their whole ‘thing’ is a unified experience between hardware and software. The entire premise of punishing a company for success when they haven’t

That doesn’t sound like something that’s against the law. A company shouldn’t be punished based on their success, but if they violate a law or not.

This is how the free market is intended to work. This opens up the range for several android phones (which have a near split in the US, and a majority globally last I recall) to offer better hardware. Modern Samsung phones are very good. Yo

It’s typical politician shortsightedness, as there will just be another product that arises. Banning one of the many specific parts to do an illegal thing rarely ever makes the illegal thing harder to do.
