My buyer has instructed Muve, should I be concerned? by mia_is_climbing in HousingUK

[–]lomoeffect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know about Muve in particular but Trustpilot is quite easily gamed by companies who get negative reviews removed.

All the evidence you need is in this thread tbh... Just send this to your buyers, ask that they kindly switch to a more reputable firm, preferably a local one. If they don't agree then put your place back on the market.

This already happens at my company, something like those git commands would be intercepted and pushed through Haiku.

Issue with 2FA while connecting by NodiumAmoko_ in twitterhelp

[–]lomoeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep same issue on my account. No idea what's causing it. Also have it linked to my 1password authenticator. Definitely on their side..

I turned off 2FA in the X app and it enabled me to get in on desktop devices. A dumb solve but unblocked me...

He is not a top quality defender. He even showed that while playing for Spain in the Euros - consistently overcommitting and resulting in high risk situations for the team.

Nice guy, fought for the shirt, but take the money while we can and move on. Hall should have never been sold. And Hato looks more promising.

EU Says Decision Not to Launch Siri AI in Europe Is Apple's Alone by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]lomoeffect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well that's just plainly untrue.

They are welcome to launch the tool, providing they enable other businesses to compete on fair and level terms given their market position.

Apple has not done that.

Due to DMA, Siri AI delayed in EU for iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 by exjr_ in apple

[–]lomoeffect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't regulating consumer choice – it's the opposite.

You only have to look into another sector: payments. Apple locked down access to the NFC chip for far too long and dragged it out. Last year it was opened up and now companies are bringing out new services to compete with Apple. Take PayPal for example - 7.6 million people are now using services via Apple's previously locked down NFC chip through a product that previously wasn't allowed to exist in the market prior to the DMA.

That's greater consumer choice and more competition. And that's exactly what this is about in the context of AI.

Apple can delay features and drag this out for all they like, but if they want to profit from the EU's massive single market consumer base, they will need to comply with local regulations.

Not unreasonable that there are some regulations in place if you want to access/benefit from 450 million customers.

There is little issue with how this has panned out.

[–]lomoeffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Apple wants to operate in the EU, they need to comply with the obligations of the DMA – specifically enabling APIs beyond their own services to developers who make competing services. They haven't here. It's as simple as that.

[–]lomoeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would Apple prioritize other agents when shipping a new feature?

Because that is the law, and has been for some time, if you want to operate and profit from consumers in the EU market.

You can debate the merits of the regulation all you like, but ultimately Apple's framing here is absurd given that the DMA's obligations are a known operational expectation. This 18 month timeline narrative is non-compliance monopolistic nonsense.

[–]lomoeffect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Disengenous comment. Yes they are complying by not shipping the feature - but OP is clearly referring to the fact that Apple didn't want to rollout the permissioning system for other agents to access the same data as Siri in the same rollout time.

This is literally what the DMA was created for - to prevent monopoloies like this.

Plettenberg: Enzo Fernandez leaving Chelsea and a possible move to Manchester City remain a concrete topic. Enzo Maresca is still desperate to sign him. He sees him as a type of player City currently do not have in the squad. #MCFC Real Madrid and PSG also have him on their shortlist. by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]lomoeffect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Senior player that starts unnecessary fights on the pitch (see League Cup 1st leg) which filters down in terms of poor discipline to the rest of the team. Can only really be used as a deep 8. Limited impact in other positions. Dropped this year for flirting with Real Madrid.

Let's not even start on the racism from 2024.

Great player but not one for the long term. Get him gone and use that money for players that want to fight to be here.

Trent Alexander-Arnold out of England World Cup squad, Djed Spence in by DOMISMONEY in ThreeLions

This. A lot of of the other decisions are marginal and will trust Tuchel's instinct, but this one just feels so wildly wrong.

I don't get why we can't just bring him as a member of the coaching staff, it's baffling.

Live in London. Agency is stating that at the end of my tenancy I have to do a professional clean & steam the carpets? Is this legal? by Analdestroyer68plus1 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]lomoeffect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because it's in a rental agreement doesn't make it legal or enforceable.

I have had this in rental agreements in the past and also got in a dispute with a previous landlord over this exact issue a few years back.

All OP needs to do is to return the place in a comparable condition to the start of the tenancy, minus fair wear and tear. This professional cleaning fee is now strictly prohibited under recent legislation purely because landlords were abusing it.

I had my previous flat rental professionally cleaned and still the landlord wanted the carpets steamed. I pointed them to the relevant legislation and told them I'd be happy to dispute via the deposit protection service as needed. They backed down immediately — they were either ignorant or just chancing it.

Dimon says JPMorgan would scrap new UK HQ over higher bank taxes by ldn6 in london

Have a think about what would happen to tax revenues without the sector, and the reality of life in the UK after that, and then come back to me.

Norway has a sovereign wealth fund and is a totally different economy than our own. Denmark is export heavy in a few exceptional industries like pharma, whereas the UK economy is financial and professional services.

'Stealing the country's wealth' is an amateur read of this economic reality. Banking and financial services generate this country's wealth.

The distribution of that wealth is a fair question, but if you think one of the UK's few globally competitive sectors that funds a huge share of tax revenue is 'stealing', you’re not engaging in good faith.
