Apple's Chinese wind power partner linked to Uyghur forced labor programs
GeorgeBMac said:Here we go again...." A report claimed...."".... has been accused ....""blah, blah, blah..."... Where "claims" and "accusations" constitute definitive proof.Soon we will see coming from China:
"A report claimed {that Apple forces workers to work without pay]'"[Apple] has been accused [of stealing ip from Huawei]....."Isn't it time to stop this bullshit?It's just standard propaganda crap: You start with an unproven assumption or accusation and then just keep building on it till the fools assume it's reality.Trump was a master at it: "Many people are saying...." and then letting FauxNews and the right wing propaganda machine repeat the lie till it became reality for the cult.

Apple strikes again: Which developers got 'Sherlocked' at WWDC
"In a blog post, Wood said Steve Jobs told him Apple can and will do this to developers on the platform. Here’s Wood paraphrasing a phone call from Jobs himself:“You know those handcars, the little machines that people stand on and pump to move along on the train tracks? That’s Karelia. Apple is the steam train that owns the tracks.”
You could argue that the popular narrative here isn’t completely accurate. Apple blogger John Gruber stated that Sherlock’s web integrations were planned at Apple before Watson debuted, and that Apple offered Wood a job working on Sherlock two different times. But these facts couldn’t stand in the way of a good story, and the term “Sherlocked” stuck.

So "Sherlocked" really means a popular cover story of some instance of outrageous Apple behavior, when in fact, Apple would be expected to be working on said feature, but delivering it later, and fully baked in integration.

Apple's Chinese wind power partner linked to Uyghur forced labor programs

Goldwind Science & Technology may be trying to train Uyghurs to work. If you are being trained you are not considered a formal employee and got paid little. Similar things happened in silicon valley. Some young people wants to get into some high tech company. They volunteered to do work without pay. Without the facts it is too early to judge Goldwind Science & Technology is using forced labor.
I don't know where you came up with that statement about equality, but given that the population is some 95% Han, and there is evidence that the PRC is attempting to limit reproduction of minorities, which meets the definition of genocide, then of course, why would anyone believe the PRC?

"Chinese birth control policies could cut between 2.6 to 4.5 million births of the Uyghur and other ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang within 20 years, up to a third of the region’s projected minority population, according to a new analysis by a German researcher.The report, shared exclusively with Reuters ahead of publication, also includes a previously unreported cache of research produced by Chinese academics and officials on Beijing’s intent behind the birth control policies in Xinjiang, where official data shows birth-rates have already dropped by 48.7% between 2017 and 2019.
Adrian Zenz’s research comes amid growing calls among some western countries for an investigation into whether China’s actions in Xinjiang amount to genocide, a charge Beijing vehemently denies.
The research by Zenz is the first such peer reviewed analysis of the long-term population impact of Beijing’s multi-year crackdown in the western region. Rights groups, researchers and some residents say the policies include newly enforced birth limits on Uyghur and other mainly Muslim ethnic minorities, the transfers of workers to other regions and the internment of an estimated one million Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in a network of camps."
But, but, no evidence...

EU lawmaker wants Big Tech regulations to specifically target US firms
This seems prudent. /s
There is actually no big tech in the EU.
The EU effectively murders any company with growth prospects long before they reach a trillion dollar valuation, all in the name of corporate and national competition.

'iPhone 13' 120Hz ProMotion display production started by Samsung
CloudTalkin said:thedba said:AppleInsider said:
In terms of shipment numbers, Samsung is thought to be producing 80 million units of the display for the new iPhone, with between 120 million and 130 million total OLED panels anticipated to ship to Apple in 2021. For LG, it is apparently aiming for 30 million units for the "iPhone 13," and a total of 50 million overall for the year.
This is one reason why Apple could not put Pro motion in the iPhone 12 Pro. The sheer numbers required by Apple to put into their flagship devices is just staggering.
Before someone says "Yeah, but Samsung sells more phones", I don't think they sell as many brand new flagship devices as Apple.
Why would anyone mention Samsung selling more phones? It would be an irrelevant factoid. Samsung Display makes panels, not phones. Don't let petty fanboyism color your commentary.
(Samsung's unit marketshare is approximately 20 percent, while Apple's iPhone is approximately 16 percent, a 25 percent advantage over iPhone).
So where have all of those VRR LTPO OLED displays been going to if Samsung had enough production for even just Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max?
No reported shortage because Apple didn't want to create it by specifying it for any iPhone 12 model?
I have provided a link to Samsung's first Galaxy with VRR LTPO OLED panel;

"Samsung details first LTPO OLED screen for smartphones with VRRAugust 12, 2020Samsung announces that it is the first with an OLED screen for smartphones with variable refreshment. This allows seamless switching between refresh rates, saving the battery. Presumably it concerns the ltpo technique. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (preview) is the first device to get this."
