Apple ciroc

Nasty-,

...so New York just incentivized manufacturers to essentially deliberately booby trap their products so that they can maintain their exclusive repair rights.

What could possibly go wrong?

It is, but the headgear is so uncomfortable for any real length of time I couldn't imagine working or playing for more than an hour maybe two.
Also, the visual area in AR is still tiny.

Tuco hates chili powder

Agreed. The 8 Plus was my favorite phone.

Here’s a thought: I don’t really care. I know some people do, but the whole idea of “you’re being spied on!!!” is so ridiculous

Unless you’ve done something illegal, the government doesn’t want to spy on you. Unless you’ve angered some international crime syndicate, black hat hackers don’t want to listen to you

It is a shame that a collective boycott and shunning is impossible.

I love the fantasy of boycotting companies that take these kinds of decisions, which again, is only a fantasy at best.

Cool, it’s like oil- a completely worthless or destructive investment.

It's still a terribly written headline.

That's becoming the norm sadly. It happens on reddit all the time as well as other apps.

Hell look what happened with Twitter.

If you are interested in this issue, do yourself a favor and watch this video by Louis Rossmann

They actually directly and indirectly invests/control many many US companies. What's the point of this news?

All they would hear is my bird screaming. It's his speaker. I play music for him in "his" room and that's it. 😂

You’re talking about apps that less than 1% of iPhone users use. I’m not even going to debate the accuracy of you’re claim.

Well put and yep, they failed and they should be told this.

Username checks out

This is a form of government fuckeduppedness that I wasn't aware existed before now.

And had since relocated to Texas because NYC sucks

>Calling Apple phones Chinese clones is the funniest thing I have heard all year. They develop their own OS instead of piggybacking off of Goggle.

95% of the total iPhone supply still comes from China – and around 80% of all iPhones are made in a single plant in Zhengzhou, aka iPhone City.

Sure, some underpaid schmuck made the super simplistic Software on your country specific update, that doesn't change the fact that it's still a shit phone made with shit parts and only cost $120 to make, then sells to dummies for a 10X profit margin.

IPhone: $120 to make, sells for $1,200

Newest Samsung Ultra: $350 to make, sells for $1,000.

The Samsung phones cost more to make because they actually have quality parts,screens, and cameras.

Apple uses a shit AI to make your photos look good on their phone screens, but if you ever upload those photos to a computer they still look like shit.

To all Android users your photos look like shit because that's how they were taken by the shit camera on your iPhone.

Your photos only look good on the weird shaped iPhone screens of other iphone users.

Anything with the ability to record and transmit data is a potential window into your life in the digital age, isn’t it? We’re up to our knees in Bentham’s panopticon. The trick is to accept it pragmatically without becoming paranoid.

I thought I was the only one..

>The problem is that mfgs will default to saying it heightens injury allowing them to only sell assemblies, which often cost ~75% of the hardware, making repair by 3rd party companies unprofitable

This might swing the other way if they want to be pedantic enough

Rather than selling laptop fans as the subassembly they'll sell the fan blades separate from the shaft, separate from the housing separate from the bearings, and the motor and cables etc

To make it as annoying as fucking possible for anyone to repair

Or plainclothes paranoia.

I wouldn’t worry About it, I’m sure they wouldn’t use it for anything nefarious. /S I think we need to reevaluate our trade embargo‘s or maybe filter them a little bit.
