For a business, paying apple fee once a year is like nothing. And I found apple software to manage company phones better than what is available (if there is, beside Samsung). Even developing, I’m no developer but I also had to make a small app for very simple task on iPhone and Android. Android studio with the java looked like gibberish when am xcode and swift felt much easier to learn.

In France, I have yet to work in a company that gives their employees android instead of dumb phone or iPhone.

No i meant instead of Google ai there are better and open source alternative. It’s rare enough to have open source alternative better than a product companies invested hundreds of millions in.

Make yourself a favor, delete this crap and instead use a real open source (means apache2) AI that performs even better than chatgpt4 or Google ai. Get Mistral 7B.

Yeah. But when you run your own business or have multiple responsibility then iphone makes all sense. The way everything just works and works well. Like i used to edit pdf on the fly with my iPhone easily, android i still haven’t figured out what app is great for reading, highlighting and removing or adding pages without requiring subscription or being bloated like Microsoft office or Adobe. And it’s the same shit for everything that apple has already made app for, they re just much better than what you get on android. Not even speaking of open source or small app like you say that are broken after the développer decide to fuck off (i understand why) or is just bad because développer ain’t user interface designer.

Your link didn’t work.

If apple ecosystem is so better then there is no reason to fight over it, people won’t force themselves to download new app store and apps when they are inferior.

But the truth is that iPhone apps made by apple are awesome, the way they works and synchronize with Mac and iCloud, excellent ! but the app store itself is filled with garbage that require very expensive subscription. I was shocked coming from Android to see such low quality and so expensive, and I’m pretty sure apple knows that. So when a new app store offer the same garbage but a little less expensive, and no apple fee, of course people are going to download it.

Apple said it spent “months in conversation with the European Commission” about the DMA and that its plan reflects the work of “hundreds of Apple team members who spent tens of thousands of hours” on the solution.

This is something I can absolutely believe, attorney spent many hours twisting the law, bending it and figuring it in what way they could avoid it. Just like how Google, Microsoft, Amazon and apple are all evading taxes in Europe by setting companies in Ireland.

The law is simple, allow other app store on iPhones. It didn’t need thousands of hours to figure it

Very interesting article. I think with the amount of cash flowing into betting business and being used to lobby or finance campaign we won’t see any regulation anytime soon.

We knew Tabaco was unhealthy already in 1947, it took 50 years to get serious regulation. Maybe in 2068 we’ll fix betting issue, that’s only 2 generation lost.

I checked your link but as most people I’m not programmer, so we can’t check or even remotely understand what Google engineers does. On the other hand, what common people can understand is 'follow the money ́. Google makes most of its money on selling personalized ads, the more data they get on you the higher advertiser will bid.

It would make absolutely no sense, financially, for Google to reduce it’s tracking ability and let the user decide which ad they want to see or not.

And at the end Google is a business, money goes in, more money goes out. They could be doing what they claim to do right now, only to change in 2 years when all third party advertiser are bankrupt because they can’t use cookies anymore. That’s another possibility.

Good luck when an ai can lay bricks and mortar.

People just want to get confirmed in what they already believe, with the amount of fake news people are already getting dumber because they’re not suffering criticism.

If I believe moon landing was fake before I would have hundreds of source telling me I’m wrong and only a few scammy documentaries that would agree with my belief. But now there is fake to confirm any belief I have. Aliens are real, check this video proving it. Zuckerberg is a lizard? There are dozens of photo and video on twitter. And so on.

I’m really not optimistic about that at all.

when you can just turn them off (and examine the data it’s collected) in the settings

Is that part of the chromium engine which is open source or is it closed source ? Because if that part of the code is not visible it doesn’t matter what Google tells you.

Until you don’t. Battery dies. Phone get stolen. During an emergency if you struggle to navigate that’s embarrassing.

Chinese shit isn’t going to sell by itself, hopefully there are people taking matter into their hand and buying expensive plastic phone that will be used once or two and then throwed away.

Their parts are pretty cheap and easy to repair.

Yeah I actually did read it and I guess we’ll see how it goes, if the apple vision pro become an absolute success and apple suddenly release ai driven feature but I still doubt it despise what cook can say.

There were rumors about apple headset many years ago, today there is nothing about apple and ai. They can work on it but it doesn’t mean it will lead to something, research and innovation can be money and time sink when it’s not driven by a global vision but instead rely on itself.

Beside one would think they would start by slowly including ai in their iphone first to see how it goes but even that there is not a single glimpse of it.

Yes, when I see it getting upvoted every time I’m left wondering if there isn’t a bot issue on Lemmy because I also never heard of it and I would be baffled actual humans keep upvoting the same thing over and over

Local news publishers, Karolian told Engadget, almost entirely depend on selling ads and subscriptions to readers who visit their websites to survive.

Then it’s time to change your business model. Ad driven journalism has shown it’s limits decades ago, this is just regurgitating what other press agencies write and adding some ads over it.

Yeah me too, I love it when they do the right thing. Of course we only know what they refuse to do, what they agree isn’t public.
