Europeans using Apple, Google and other major tech platforms woke to a new reality Thursday as a landmark law imposed tough new competition rules on the companies — changing European Union citizens’ experience with phones, apps, browsers and more.
The new EU regulations force sweeping changes on some of the world’s most widely used tech products, including Apple’s app store, Google search and messaging platforms, including Meta’s WhatsApp. And they mark a turning point in a global effort by regulators to bring tech giants to heel after years of allegations that the companies harmed competition and left consumers worse off.
Man, if we discover some cancer killing thing and a time machine that can go back it time the first thing I would do would be to help Steve Jobs get better, literally apple just got worse and worse when the “innovator” got replaced by the “logistics and finance” guy
Just look at how Steve did things, if he was confronted with this problem he would probably just do it android style and not screw over people like Timmy does
I fundamentally believe what Apple has become is the inevitable consequences of a company being successful under capitalism. For one thing we see this with all of them not just Apple. Apple just goes to excessive lengths to fuck people over for a couple extra bucks
He “innovated” this behavior (and nothing else).
He would definitely find some better-looking and more diplomatic solution, but I actually like that this company is worse at deceit now.
Wouldn’t it be better to go back in time and erase all the apple founders and developers?
Would PDP-11 become dominant in personal computing then, I wonder?
In USSR there were personal computers based on this architecture (there were Apple II clones too).
I’m far too young, but the PDP-11 ISA seems very nice.
That would probably result in non-modern smartphone like devices.
I like my magic rectangle.
Cursed device. We should be using rotating phones and flip phones.
