Yay, thanks for ensuring that cheap shit USB-C cords can fry my electronics. Maybe they should have focused on the product quality standards instead. As for monopolists and anti-competitive practices there are so many real threats that are allowed …

I suspect that while the UK government’s tactics have changed, the game hasn’t, so to speak. They’ve stayed the stick, so now will come carrots.

Yay! If they divest Android, I won’t be paying to subsidize it through the Google tax every time I’m served an ad.

Thank you, Wes. I know this is a complex and difficult subject area, particularly right now. And yet very timely. More than ever, autocrats and bad actors the world over would like more access to all our digital devices and stored personal informati…

Apple’s apps are still pretty basic. If I had to guess, I’d say Passwords is more about getting people who won’t pay for a third-party product to have better habits and ultimately get them using Passkeys instead of passwords. Safer for everyone. I’…

The WSJ is a veritable clown car pulling a dumpster on fire.

“Döner” not “Donner”. I assume you meant the kebab/wrap, not “Thunder with everything”. Unless it’s an obscure reindeer-based dish. (Either way, I’m definitely co-opting that statement.)

Yup. Unusable websites and intrusive ads that also slow the piss out of pages. Not to mention all the free data sent back on expensive ISPs that neither the publishers or advertisers are paying for. Get that shit under control. The writing that’s w…

If your economy is stagnant, leech off someone else’s. That seems to be the EU’s prevailing philosophy. Maybe they should give a listen to Stiglitz. https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/rewriting-the-rules-of-the-european-economy/id1643306074
