Apple still plans to charge developers for sideloading apps in EU
Doesn’t really matter. Too many developers are scammers. I’ve never seen a game advertisement that actually shows what the game is really like. Just a bunch of liars. Majority are going to stick with the App Store.

Masimo has spent $100M in Apple Watch patent infringement fight
Just because they have a legitimate business doesn’t mean the can’t be a troll. As discussed, this tech was solved decades ago.9secondkox2 said:

Apple has no choice. They are constantly targeted by patent trolls just because they have so much money. Apple’s only option is to draw out each fight as long as they can, and make litigation as expensive as possible to give patent trolls second thoughts about contesting a patent.s.metcalf said:The problem with behemoths like Apple is they know few can afford to defend their rights in court so they exploit that to their advantage constantly. Apple is a bully, just face it. Pretty much always has been, even (or especially) under Jobs. Microsoft and Google are still worse though.They have a legit business that rides on this. From products to licensed tech.A troll does nothing except sue whenever someone does anything remotely close to what their patent covers.In Masimos case, they are defending patents DIRECTLY infringed by Apple that harm their business materially.It’s a legit fight. Apple needs to do the honorable thing and license the tech or go about glucose monitoring in a way that doesn’t infringe.

Apple and Goldman Sachs to part ways on Apple Card, no successor named
People living paycheck to paycheck don’t use autopay.ralphie said:
LOL, ever heard of auto-pay?!?dee_dee said:
Then why did they sign the agreement? Was Apple holding a gun to their head? Apple Card is designed to help people pay off their debt, having a bill due on the 1st is easy to remember.ktappe said:I completely understand G.S. not wanting every bill to be due on the 1st of the month. Imagine you're a retailer and all your customers come in on the 1st, leaving you with no customers days 2-30. It's unreasonable of Apple to have G.S. have to handle an onslaught of bills just one day of the month and not be willing to spread them out. As an Apple Card customer, I'd be fine having mine not be on the 1st, but Apple has never bothered to ask.
