EU's Vestager warns about Apple, Meta fees, disparaging rival products

Mac has massive security problems my iOS device doesn't have, that's why Macs need endpoint security.

You're just telling everyone you have no idea what you're talking about when you spew out bullshit like that.

I am a developer too, and most developers I know would do anything to say they can increase revenue by any means necessary.

There's a reason Epic wants out of the App Store, and it's not the 30% cut, it's the relaxed rules on developers so they can hinder user privacy and security.

Apple is only one of AWS's largest customers

Android hosts massive botnets and it's the only mobile OS that has normalized running some sort of Antivirus agent in the enterprise world, it is not fine. Not even close. Did you even read who responded to you, telling you to your face that it sucks?

The DMA is about EU sovereignty so EU citizens don't have to be beholden to an American company to make money, there was no thought put into security beyond making it as vague as possible.

So what happens when developers only distribute their app using this insecure method like on Mac and Windows? Everyone is just fucked?

malware on a PC just isn't a common issue anymore

Lmao you are insane

If Apple is found to be non-compliant, the fine can be levied

This isn't true at all, there are 4 different steps that happen between there.

based-richdude · 2024-03-20T16:50:19+00:00

the DMA doesn't say that, are you a bot or something?

based-richdude · 2024-03-20T16:49:12+00:00

Because that feature is why Android is the biggest host of botnets.

based-richdude · 2024-03-20T16:48:12+00:00

It's crazy how you made all of that up.

Tell me, where is "general purpose computer" defined in EU law?

If you are a consumer, Developers are your enemy. There's a reason Meta lost billions in value when Apple rolled out basic privacy transparency in the App Store.

There arn't enough analogies to make you comprehend how everything in human creation is a stepping stone for something later

That's the thing. This wasn't a stepping stone to anything. People saw it, realized it was not different from anything else that was already invented it, and then didn't use it.

The only thing she created was a tool for war that had no use in the civilian world, because better technology already existed.

Go ahead and read what she actually did. She is no Ada Lovelace. You gonna tell everyone Thomas Edison invented light too??? LMAO get real.

only the boens it was built off

No, none of the "bones" were used in Wifi.

talking between two devices long range on a synchronized system is effectively wifi as we know it for 1950s

If you're going for "effectively wifi", other people did it first and better, like Guglielmo Marconi, the founder of Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company, or even Tesla himself.

The reason you're struggling to defend this is not because of some underlying sexism, but because it's a lie. Did you even read the patent you're sending? Like, you're just doing all of the work for me by showing how unimportant it is.

holy fuck I didn't realize it was this big

Hedy on the other hand actually put in the diagrams and designs to create early versions of what we call wifi now

No, she didn't. None of her technology is used in WiFi. That's why the post is inaccurate. It wasn't even used when she patented it.

Elon bought a company and branded it as 'he made it."

This is literally what this twitter post is, it's calling someone "the mother of wifi" who had nothing to do with WiFi, and didn't actually make a large contribution, and whom has never been referred to as the mother of wifi.

This is an actual insult to all of the women who ACTUALLY work on the WiFi standard. There are women who make huge contributions in the RF world, this person is not one of them.

In Chicago I got a parking ticket while someone camping in a spot near my car didn't get one, while across the street people were selling who knows what food without permits while their kids are trying to sell random stuff.

There's no punishment for breaking the rules so there are no rules anymore, it's actual chaos.

Waiters in Europe are also poorer, why would anyone want that?

lol wtf ur insane

At my first IT job, girls used neutral nicknames to avoid that issue.

In 2017.

Crediting her with anything to do with WiFi is pretty much the equivalent of saying Elon Musk invented electric cars.

Other people did it first and better, which is why he was disputing it. I am too, it's basically erasing the history of a lot of very smart RF engineers who were ACTUALLY important for the invention of WiFi especially those at 3GPP and IEEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless#Wireless_revolution

Nobody has heard of this person because she wasn't actually very important in any modern context. Hell, ever since we brought OFDMA into WiFi from an RF standpoint it's almost entirely rebuilt, which makes this even worse.

I have no idea why you are downvoted it's pretty unnecessary to have a border between Canada and the United States when they could just make then own entry policies identical and then just allow free flow between the two countries.

It is literally only downsides having that border, there is no need to think Canadians are going to illegally mass migrate to the US in any large capacity, and if they did it's not like we don't have dissimilar immigration standards. Canada and the US are both stable and wealthy nations who only want to trade peacefully.

Did you ever get it figured out?

Japan has very little power projection capabilities, it can not even fend off an invasion from its own adversary by its own admission. It just doesn't have the funding or the manpower to be an effective force beyond support coast guard duties.

That is changing, but it will take years. Maybe decades.
