“By the way, did you know…”

I had around 10 echos and replaced them all with HomePods. Much better.

This is you right, calling on car companies to produce even more vehicles?

Gas prices are largely controlled by OPEC, which the USA isn’t even part of.

Thank you for all your colorful annotations.

Point taken

@ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee avatar

Samsung Lawsuits: Apple’s series of lawsuits against Samsung over alleged patent infringements related to smartphone and tablet designs and functionalities have been seen by some as overly aggressive. These lawsuits have led to significant financial penalties for Samsung and have been viewed as attempts to stifle competition rather than protect genuine innovations.

App Store Patents: Apple has been known to enforce its patents related to the App Store, targeting other companies that have tried to create similar platforms. This has sometimes been criticized as an attempt to maintain a monopoly over app distribution for iOS devices.

HTC Lawsuit: In 2010, Apple filed a lawsuit against HTC for allegedly infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface and underlying architecture. Some viewed this as an aggressive move to slow down the growth of Android devices.

Patent Assertions Against Smaller Companies: There have been instances where Apple has asserted its patents against smaller companies or startups. Critics argue that these actions can stifle innovation and competition, as smaller companies often lack the resources to fight prolonged legal battles against a giant like Apple.

Yeah it was generated, and you are right. I’m not sure how to format stuff to show it’s AI generated so I just use the quotes.

I am an audiophile with thousands worth of gear. As far as streaming services go, I find Apple to offer the best bang for the buck. The second best would be probably YouTube. Tidal was unique years ago with hires lossless but that’s not uncommon anymore. Apple offers it as standard. Apple and YouTube also offer music videos which is a nice perk.

Wal mart is still the one and only store I used to steal from back in 90’s. Had to wear umbro shorts since they had that webbing in them and then grab a few CDs and beads to make necklaces that I would sell. By the time I got to high school I was over the shop lifting thing.

Plus it was the only way I could get CDs with explicit lyrics like Rage Against the Machine

Had some VGA cords stored away for almost 20 years now “just in case one day I need them”

Didn’t some camcorders have a VGA output? Think that’s why I kept them

EU Commission fines Apple over €1.8 billion over abusive App store rules for music streaming providers (ec.europa.eu)

The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users') through its App Store. In particular, the Commission found that Apple applied restrictions on app developers preventing them from...

In what world is there where less competition has been a good thing for the consumer?

Wait, so you’re saying to ban Apple but then on the other hand you’re upset about Huawei devices being banned?

Apple isn’t the only cell phone maker in the USA so I’m not sure why you think Apple was the one who banned Huawei. That’s a conspiracy theory and I don’t use those to make my arguments and I don’t think others should as well.

ThirdWorldOrder ,
@ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee avatar

The USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia and Europe don’t use Huawei.

It’s not the conspiracy you think it is.

Used to rent a house over Martin Luther king weekend (mid January) every year since 2009. Had to stop in 2019 because every year there was less and less snow and that year it was wet.

It sucks because I grew up skiing like many others but this is the price we pay.

Is there a reason you’re being a sesquipedalian? Netflix profits are up over 50% since the start of the year - and this is with Apple taking their piece of the pie.

Do you think Netflix will lower their prices after they remove legacy pricing from the Apple Store? I own Netflix stock, so by all means, blame Apple.

ThirdWorldOrder ,
@ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee avatar

That’s a disingenuous statement. You could always subscribe to Netflix outside of Apple.

Apple isn’t the only only digital store that charges fees. Don’t hear anyone bitching about Steam.

I dated a girl who is Jewish many years ago. Her parents would just throw dishes at each other while arguing in Hebrew. To hear you say that it can’t be entertaining slightly offends me.

Oh maybe that’s what it was. On a related note the girl I dated has a sister that was a substitute teacher at our high school at the time. She was 21 and would buy us booze and she also played strip poker with my friends and me. Took my buddy’s virginity. Fun times!
