  • Apple tells EU to forget about getting all the new iOS 26 features

    I voted Remain in the UK back in 2016.  But as an Apple user, I can't say hand-on-heart that I would do so now, with the shenanigans the EU is pulling with Apple.

    It is a shame, as some of the EU regulations have been decent - like the USB-C support.
    As noted, the UK has pretty exactly the same law — except that the U.S. has you by the balls if they want. If Tr*mp says „jump“ to open up the market, you don’t have a 300-million market to poker with until TACO. 

    Instead, you get tariff exemptions for fucking Rolls Royce. 

    Wooo.

  • Germany tells Apple to remove DeepSeek from the App Store

    When you repeat "user data" a million times, it completely loses its original meaning. Most users don’t actually care about data at all. Why should some unelected guy in a suit be the one making decisions for them?
    Welcome to Europe, where some things still have meaning.

    The point is, that some on this forum have been attacking the president for @lying” about the phone, when in fact, up to this point? He’s said nothing. That is a false claim. 
    Again: 

    https://www.trump.com/media/trump-mobile-launches-a-bold-new-wireless-service

    “Trump Mobile is also excited to announce it will release the “T1 Phone” in August. It is a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States”

    That is a lie. It’s on Trump.com — which, I must assume, is the current president’s commercial website. 
    You said president Trump made that quote. He did not. Period. 

    That is the website of the trump organization which was handed off to his kids years ago. 

    Ah, I wasn’t aware. Yep, he still owns it, but his kids are running it since 2017. Okay. Fair point. 
    Notably this is not a blind trust. The president is free to ask questions and give direction as his sons “run” the company that he still owns and profits from. 
    I can't even fathom how deep someone has to be into the MAGA cult to claim that the convicted felon has no knowledge of the very organization that he's running. I feel bad for the American people in general for being raped (literally in some cases) by this convict, but I don't feel bad for the enablers that both support him on the top end or the idiots on the bottom end, which are the oddly the loudest voices that prop him him as some sort of deity.
    I think at this point it’s abundantly clear that he no longer has the mental capacity to be running ANYTHING.

    Sure. 

    Still, the lies they propagate in their press release aren’t, technically, his.
