  • EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers

  • I didn't say China was bad. I said Apple was bad.

    And you can make a very good Android phone with AOSP. You won't have Google services but you could make your own app store like Huawei and Samsung have.

  • Many of these companies still exist but do other things. The biggest open source successful project is Servers - much servers run Linux. After that the next most successful open source is Android - the best selling mobile OS on the planet. That's really my friend....

  • Are you on drugs or something bro? I don't hate anyone. If anything I feel sorry for apple customers because they are being abused and don't even know it.

    You should read up on Richard Stallman and the ideas of Libre Software/Free Open Source Software.

    Then you will understand how bad Apple really is towards its users and why everyone should be using Linux and open source software.

  • Bro, don't believe everything you read. Which OBJECTIVE 3rd party has verified this?

    Nobody. The US told Canada to comply or else, and they went along with the BS story.

    I SERIOUSLY doubt Huawei would be so stupid as to do that. And if they did, I guarantee you they would hide it very, very well.

    Do you know how much malware governments make which goes undetected for years? Plenty. That's the name of the game. No way Huawei would make it that easy to get caught knowing the US would check for this...

  • Tim Cook meets Donald Trump and a few weeks later Huawei is banned. I mean, it's obvious. Huawei was on its way to become the #1 selling brand worldwide.

    I didn't say I was ok with it but I'm saying if they can do it to Huawei they can do it to Apple as well ...

  • Apples lock in is worse for consumers than any "competition" they provide. There are enough other brands to foster competition.

    Plus don't forget you Americans banned Huawei devices because they were a threat to Apple.... Under the guise of "spying" with zero evidence thereof...talk about eliminating the competition

  • Lol. Apple is at the HEART of communism and NWO. It is BIG BROTHER. That's why their devices are locked down - to lock you in...

    Don't forget Apple complied with Chinese Communist government to give them access to users iCloud accounts and also banned apps Chinese government doesn't like. Meanwhile Google is still banned in china because they refused to censor the internet.

    Plus on android I don't have to log into anything Google and can install open source apps to me hearts delight, with zero spyware or even install a different OS. Can't do that with apple stuff.

    Rethink your world view.

  • I wish the EU would just ban Apple altogether and be done with it! No more sales of anything Apple.

    Close all the stores, both local and online, stop selling accessories, stop selling macs, iPads, TV etc.

    Let current device owners use it until it breaks and then recycle it.

    End of story. That company is just poison. The apple logo suits them - it's the poisonous apple given to snow white!!

  • Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

    Jump

  • As an IT Technician/Sysadmin who is responsible for ordering the laptop, my recommendation is DEFINITELY ASK because this is info the IT guy needs to know!

  • Linux desktop appreciation post

    Jump

  • Yes indeed. I used to work in IT but due to a change in my life I'm doing something else now. Which means I only use Linux at home and only see Windows when I need to print. I keep Win10 in a VM, disconnected from the net, just to print. Which is rare.

    But I remember well how crap Windows is, even on good hardware. The issues I had with Surface laptops at work was painful. I stopped ordering those for management because I'm the one who had to fix the issue they inevitably had. And that's MS' own hardware.

    Even powerful graphics orientated HP machines would need regular rebooting to fix freezing issues on Win10.

    Meanwhile the few Win7 and XP machines we had still in use, ran just fine, even though the hardware was 10+ years old ...

    I'm on Linux Mint Debian Edition on a Mac Mini and it runs flawlessly.

    Linux is really great, considering it's free of charge, and I wouldn't ever voluntarily run Windows again.

  • OS Recommendations for 2014 MacBook Pro

    Jump

  • I run Linux Mint Debian Edition on my 2014 Mac Mini and it's works really well. Should be the same on the MacBook. Or regular Mint.

    I've run Mint on my 2015 MacBook Pro and it worked very well.

    Either way I recommend a slow release distro because if you use a rolling distro the WiFi will stop working with every kernel update .... It takes a few days before they update the Broadcom reverse driver to work with the newer kernel.

    That's why I'm on Linux Mint Debian Edition - I don't need the latest kernel nor my WiFi breaking every other week. Linux Mint Debian Edition is stable and just works.

  • Because I have enough common sense to know this tech is not ready. Neither are the energy grids. If we reach a point one day when the tech is ready and the grids can handle it, then I'll be open to it

  • I'm sure there is more that can be done. I've heard that Porsche have developed a cleaner fuel that can power petrol cars. I'm waiting so that what that is.

    Unfortunately the car manufacturers typically have supported the petrol suppliers, which are big powerful entities, but if they stop doing that and really focus on clean fuel, I'm sure it can be achieved.

    EV's at the moment are NOT good for the environment and create WAY more pollution than petrol cars in their manufacturing process. Making batteries produces WAY more pollution than what petrol cars with catalytic converters will ever make in a lifetime. This is a fact.
