  • I’m all for Xitter bashing but it’s the same on Youtube and pretty much everywhere else. What’s actually most striking to me is how simple these bots are. They don‘t even use AI most of the time, just spamming the same hand full of extremely vague statements while having the profile picture of a young woman, often only showing certain body parts.

    This is really low quality bot, nowadays they can use artificial inteligence run locally to output content that you would never think was written by a bot. It's just that we don't see it. i'm going to ask chatgpt 3.5 to answer your first comment while denying there is a bot issue, just check if you would be able to spot it and what would happen if hundreds of accounts ran by a single bot were to downvote you and give similar comments.

  • I looked on Google and found several website reporting this news, all unknown little shity website and linked to China like for instance china.org.

    i think it's safe to say it's propaganda. I wish more people like you spent time checking the news here instead of brainlessly upvoting stuffs.

  • bill of materials” for the headset at $1,542, and that doesn’t include the costs of research and development, packaging, marketing or Apple’s profit margin.

    Please read it, it's just another version of the "the iPhone cost 500$ to make". Research and especially marketing can sometimes be as much as the material and assembly cost. Id be surprised that apple doesn't make a profit on it, but it might not be close at all to 100% .

  • For a business, paying apple fee once a year is like nothing. And I found apple software to manage company phones better than what is available (if there is, beside Samsung). Even developing, I'm no developer but I also had to make a small app for very simple task on iPhone and Android. Android studio with the java looked like gibberish when am xcode and swift felt much easier to learn.

    In France, I have yet to work in a company that gives their employees android instead of dumb phone or iPhone.

  • Without reading other answers, that certainly makes more sense than mine, I would take a cake. Like the best cake i ever ate in my life and eat it all immediately after being sent in Roman era. Because if I'm getting fucked at least let's enjoy a last meal and nothing else i could take would matter. Guns, medicines,..? It would all run out anyway and it wouldn't make me king of something.

    Edit: and also a bottle of good wine because Roman win tasted like vinegar.

  • Yeah. But when you run your own business or have multiple responsibility then iphone makes all sense. The way everything just works and works well. Like i used to edit pdf on the fly with my iPhone easily, android i still haven't figured out what app is great for reading, highlighting and removing or adding pages without requiring subscription or being bloated like Microsoft office or Adobe. And it's the same shit for everything that apple has already made app for, they re just much better than what you get on android. Not even speaking of open source or small app like you say that are broken after the développer decide to fuck off (i understand why) or is just bad because développer ain't user interface designer.

  • If apple ecosystem is so better then there is no reason to fight over it, people won't force themselves to download new app store and apps when they are inferior.

    But the truth is that iPhone apps made by apple are awesome, the way they works and synchronize with Mac and iCloud, excellent ! but the app store itself is filled with garbage that require very expensive subscription. I was shocked coming from Android to see such low quality and so expensive, and I'm pretty sure apple knows that. So when a new app store offer the same garbage but a little less expensive, and no apple fee, of course people are going to download it.

  • Apple said it spent “months in conversation with the European Commission” about the DMA and that its plan reflects the work of “hundreds of Apple team members who spent tens of thousands of hours” on the solution.

    This is something I can absolutely believe, attorney spent many hours twisting the law, bending it and figuring it in what way they could avoid it. Just like how Google, Microsoft, Amazon and apple are all evading taxes in Europe by setting companies in Ireland.

    The law is simple, allow other app store on iPhones. It didn't need thousands of hours to figure it

  • Very interesting article. I think with the amount of cash flowing into betting business and being used to lobby or finance campaign we won't see any regulation anytime soon.

    We knew Tabaco was unhealthy already in 1947, it took 50 years to get serious regulation. Maybe in 2068 we'll fix betting issue, that's only 2 generation lost.

  • I checked your link but as most people I'm not programmer, so we can't check or even remotely understand what Google engineers does. On the other hand, what common people can understand is 'follow the money ́. Google makes most of its money on selling personalized ads, the more data they get on you the higher advertiser will bid.

    It would make absolutely no sense, financially, for Google to reduce it's tracking ability and let the user decide which ad they want to see or not.

    And at the end Google is a business, money goes in, more money goes out. They could be doing what they claim to do right now, only to change in 2 years when all third party advertiser are bankrupt because they can't use cookies anymore. That's another possibility.
