Anonymous, 24 Apr 2025P.S. @mRNA_anti-amygdala_vaccine : which would be Wonderful... more+1 (Off-topic : I'm back to Apple SE 2020 from Xiaomi Note 14 Pro +) --fetch the 'lore' to understand why.
(I miss 120Hz even though we should already have by default 240Hz + the HD display but I hate the bloat too much as we'll be stupid & poor + the way they handle permissions and remove unwanted stuff , 'Google' entirely, as example.)
The Industry is Greedy but Apple could wipe everyone with a pure for the buck classical SE size flagship with the best glass, frame, SoC etc. included under 400$, the real price for their worth. --no more not-reillegalized Buy Backs, I know. Real Business.

It’s the same cycle every time—penalty, appeal, another penalty, another appeal... and still no real consequences or changes. If the EU really wants results, just block Apple, Meta...from selling anything in the market until they comply. You’d be amazed how fast things would get 'fixed' when revenue’s on the line.

where is user's data security and privacy in this.
first they need to make sure devs follows strick data and privacy policy and genuine download with less price for their app and services. else it will be just a money transfer for users and devs shooting bullets from users shoulders and getting what they want *cough* money *cough*

"No fear, no pain, nobody left to blame."
--actually, no fear or anger which drives both the superstition called 'religion' and also the anti-'enlightenment'(science/life_based_on_reasoning) movement called 'fascism' described perfectly in the article from the link above.

It should be at $500 BILLION a... moreWondering if you reached multiplication table. :))
The sad fact is that EU citizens don't give too much care. When the hurt is underneath, unseen, you don't feel the pain.
Is not like your friends or neighbours will know the entire of your private life in the most continuous(integral) form or otherwise.
It's not like they record __everything__ ruthlessly to train their hyperpriced software on their suprapriced hardware on your parents pension funds(+VAT*Inflation), world wide.
Pretty evil but the democracy of the ignorance of the masses allows it, so, in the end, EUC is helpless.
Just tell the masses their phones or highly-addictive-labrat-networks won't work tommorrow and you will have another 1848.So, just cut the fan or something similar. ;)
