I'll never not be astonished that the Chairman of the Apple Board of Directors is also the Founder and CEO of an Alphabet (Google) subsidiary.

In Apple's case we have a company trying to do right by customers and a government forcing their hand. In Google's case we have a company trying to profit from customer data and a government doing nothing to stop it. Choose your platforms carefully, folks!

I hope not a single government employee responds to this non-elected idiot. He can’t fire the entire government, right?

On one hand we've entered a very dystopian era of tech where there is no more privacy, loyalty to customers, or non-evil companies. On the other hand you can raise alpacas and make/sell candles entirely off-grid!

According to BleepingComputer: "Apple's communication services (iMessage and FaceTime) and Health and iCloud Keychain data will remain end-to-end encrypted, including in the U.K." So at least there's that. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Also, does this mean that if you're an American who travels to London for work you HAVE to turn off ADP while you're there!?!?!? Frankly this is all BS. I wonder how services like @proton.me will adapt to this?

Also, WTF, UK? Y'all NASTY for this! The part about even Passwords, Safari, and Health data not being encrypted anymore.... SHADY.

BTW - this WILL be the precedent the US (Elon) will use as well. I give it 6 weeks.

I guess if I had to choose between the Big 3 tech ecosystems (Microsoft, Google, and Apple) I'd still go with Apple every day. But man, come on Tim Apple. Be better.

Gross. What are you thinking, Tim Apple?

Also, the one place it'd be super neat to have tags they don't have them: Mail.

Maybe Apple could focus less on AI and more on unifying tagging in macOS/iOS/iPadOS, Drive/Finder, Photos, Notes, and Reminders (and elsewhere they have disjointed tagging efforts)?

I bet they're just trotting right back into work, too... knowing full well they'll be fired again just as soon as the bird flu isn't in the news anymore.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Sorry, your new brain is temporarily unavailable. You'll have to revert back to manual thinking for a while.

Damn shame. I liked PRODUCT(RED) and it was always my first choice for iPhones or other Apple products. I hope they decide to offer this option again in the future or maybe also take up PRODUCT(GREEN) with green devices for the environment. (even if only virtue signaling, green is pretty)

Apple No Longer Offers Any Devices in (PRODUCT)RED Color

With the retirement of iPhone 14 and SE Apple has now ended their (PRODUCT)RED iPhone era. I guess they're REALLY getting into the cancelling of DEI over there or something.

The e in iPhone 16e stands for 'eggs' and that's why it's overpriced

Back in the main timeline (which we branched off of in 2010) they would be pulling a 25th Amendment on a President Trump. But also I like to think back in the main timeline there wouldn't be a President Trump. Our timeline is the worst.

Their relationship seemed to change when Musk got access to Twitter's DM infrastructure. Imagine all those Trump DMs from back in the day and the knowledge Musk now has.

Every Lex Luther needs a Superman. Every Joker needs a Batman. Where is the Democratic Batman while America suffers the chaotic whims of Trump and Musk? Where is the leader of the opposition party. IS there a leader? Joe? Kamala? @petebuttigieg.bsky.social? ANYBODY???

Too bad @petebuttigieg.bsky.social didn’t move his family to NYC. I’d TOTALLY move to a NYC with once again Mayor Pete.
