Living in Germany and being an all Apple household, I still think that if this rule applies to Apple and apple stops iMessage in the EU, the impact is minimal. Apple has only 20 or 30% of the phone market here, and most people use WhatsApp or Signal…

I think BMW did it pretty well right now. My new i4 integrates CarPlay wireless, there is wireless charging, maps appears in dashboard as well as heads-up display and what I really like, the individual iOS apps like music, podcast or whatever runs i…

It's very nice that they redesigned the home app, and it really is much better. Now, if only it would work... Automations have gone bust with iOS 16, it really is a big mess, as you can see in many threads in the community. It really shows that this…

If you want to have a truly secure and multivendor home automation system, I can only recommend having a look at KNX. It's an industry standard with about 400 companies supporting it, and it works without any servers or cloud connection. If you woul…

This really is pretty clever by the Russian government. It looks like they gave in to Apple but in reality they pretty much got what they want. By installing the apps they will call home and at least tell their masters that they now are installed pl…

It’s a bit like Silicon Valley used to be. Almost all major IT companies are big in Munich now, MS, Amazon, Google and Apple already having a big presence here. And the standard of living is great, though expensive. Close to the Alps and Italy, safe…

The reason that France and the UK want this special access is the fact that they want the date being stored centrally on their server rather than using the decentralised approach Apple and Google are promoting. It will allow them to use the data to …

Apple generates profits in the EU and those profits have to be taxed properly (corporate Tax) somewhere. Apple has a choice of taxing it in Europe if they leave the profits there, or move it back to the US and tax it there. Key is that they managed …

Interesting that there are people here calling the EU socialist if all it does is pressing for normal tax rules to apply to everyone no matter if the company is big or small. BTW those taxes are way lower then in the US, so is the US socialist? Oh a…

I have the latest 425d that allows to purchase the carPlay option online. After using the brand new iDrive implementation for 3 weeks now I will pass for sure. CarPlay from all I have seen does not even come close to what BMW did in this system and …
