Obviously the intention was to kill off the company. Some serious litigation is in order methinks.

Political posturing, methinks. Some politician needed a distraction and France's radiation watchdog farted at Apple in response.

The whole point is to enable unfettered access to the Apple ecosystem for intelligence services and commerce&crime. Nothing personal, just business. And we're talking huge business here. Make no mistake; the politicians promoting this for thei…

Surely, these tests are performed as soon as the devices first appear and not after several years. What's the conspiracy here?

I use Simplenote because it is, well, simple. All the bells and whistles of other note apps are absent, just barebones note taking. The only deficiency is it doesn't know a non-proportionally spaced font like Menlo. Otherwise it's perfect.

My 13" M1 MBP has problems waking up with the lid closed and a TB-monitor attached. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. We'll see if this update resolves this.

I never got into Tile because of the non-replaceable batteries. Everything else about them seemed great though. Well lucky me. I'm using AirTags now.

The ones I got came with 110W power bricks. The big TB-dock I got came with an ever bigger 135W one. I just checked and the OWC site specifies these power bricks. Strange then that 60W power bricks show up.

I'm not exactly surprised. The only thing I see these days when I open the mobile App Store is games, games, more games and then some. There used to be a time when Apple was considered to be an absolute nobody in games. Somehow they turned that arou…

Paying to keep Troll Central afloat? Apple should demand Wikipedia to adhere to its own guidelines and stop the rampant editing by trolls like the "Guerrilla Skeptics" and others like them. JW fully supports these though.

Is that legal in the EU? Can't find any of these settings in my T-mobile app here in NL in the EU. I'll have to keep an eye on this.

I doubt this will change anything. So many organisations have bought fully into the MS dream world and they are not going to admit any mistake. Everyone will be very busy putting out this umpteenth fire, but after that it will be business as usual. …

I don't like wearing my Apple Watch when I am in bed. It's on its stand, charging.

"criminals or petty tyrants like school administrators" Now that sounds spot-on.

I'm from NL in EU and I had never heard of "Euroconsumers" before. They have a slick website. Looks like a commercial lobby group. Where will those $500M go if they can get their hands on it? Not to me I'm sure ;-)

=> "I think it's kind of unfortunate that they're grouping the companies together, because there are so many different issues." But it allows for muddying the waters in order to get away with things that otherwise may be very hard to argue for.

Thanks for listing the companies I'll avoid from here on (like the plague). There are two on the list that are lobby conglomerates: The "European Publishers Council" and "News Media Europe". The first one, EPC, makes it hard to find out whom it re…
