Yes, users can act completely idiotic. It still does not mean one company can have a chokehold on a massive industry stifling any competition as they see fit.

Had Apple acted by their own rules in the first place, they probably wouldn’t be under this much scrutiny by several governments.

Could be even worse now, because in the 2008 financial crisis the US government was actively combatting the crisis by putting trillions of dollars in the economy. In this case it’s the US gov driving the madness.

As much as i agree with the commission on this, the fact that there is no credible alternative to these US-based systems is a failure on our part.

It’s good we can force foreign powers to obey to our laws, it would be better if we have our own systems to compete.

Not in the first few years of the tech, too risky for my taste.

As bad as it sounds, if our European leaders can get their head out of their collective US-aligned asses, it could finally be a push to a more cohesive EU-defence policy that is not dependant on US logistics and firepower.

We have allowed ourselves to be way to complacent for far too long.

Nickelback is good, especially the early music. Imagine Dragons is similar in that they both are kinda hated because their music is really mainstream and accessible, which is in my opinion a pretty weird reason to hate the bands.

Technology for new generations is really dumbed down, unless you want to learn and get into the weeds deliberately. Millennials know how to work around multiple operating systems and generally also learned how to troubleshoot (of course, there are a lot of millennials who aren't interested in tech as well). Zoomers will definitely have their own generation specific stuff they will know much better than any other generation.

I like to think every generation has it own knowledge and speciality, and bringing those together is when we as a species grow and advance.

This is exactly the problem LTT is having, thinking they know better then the consumer. If the only metric is value/money then Apple, Ferrari , Hermes, etc... Would not exist.

They really need to take a step back and rearrange their priorities as a company.

Still can’t really see the appeal for these kind of phones, at least with the fold you can have a small tablet at your convenience.

Love the tech, but personally i’m not really convinced.
