This doesn't look good for Apple on the face of it.

Apple has the last word on 'trust'?

I can't see that going down well in the EU. 

I suppose Epic will accuse Apple of discrimination. 

We'll see. 

Does Epic has any "trust" left at all? Maybe the EU can guarantee to Apple that Apple will be fully supported by the EU, if Epic "breaks that trust".

Oh, never mind.

Just words on a piece of paper, or worse, words in a cloud.

The amount of trust is irrelevant. The question is if Apple has the last word here because Epic could well try to throw a discrimination card into the soup.

Is this, for example, the same as the right of admission to a bar?

The fanboyism here never disappoints. I've been on the Apple train since the mid 90s.  Let's call a spade a spade though, Apple dictating to you what can and cannot be on your iPhone is authoritarianism run amok.  Today they are not banning things you care about, but what about when they do?  It is going to happen.  What ground will you have to stand on then?  We would have never tolerated this heavy handedness in the 90s or even early 2000s.  We should not tolerate it today.  Governments and corporations, run by western oligarchs, are out of control censoring to maintain their control, rule, and profits.  People across the political spectrum should be very alarmed by this.  It is very  bad for the people.

To the sky is falling fear mongers about security, question, is the Mac so unsafe to use? Do you really want to make that argument? I am arguing for the exact same security model that keeps the Mac safe be applied to iOS and iPadOS.  There really is no excuse not to do so other than power and money.  If you're opposed to it you have to concede the Mac is unsafe.  It is sick to watch so many 'progressives' defend a large corporations' profits and power.

Spec bump, schmeck bump-the M2 is a wonderful computer at a terrific price and, in my opinion, meets the needs of most consumers.

in clamshell mode, you cannot use touch ID, which I do for all of my passwords. I don’t understand. If you open it up, I’m guessing that one of the displays stops working I was excited for two monitors, but this is a dealbreaker. It’s a dealbreaker for meif you don’t use touch ID then NBD

Like I said in other posts, skip M3.
