Their platform is big enough that it affects the market even if you never use their products. Idiotic decisions that they make can ooze into other unrelated products in order to compete with them. Try buying a flagship Android with a microSD slot and a headphone jack. Now recall where the trend of eliminating those two things came from. The average consumer is not very keen to these things. They see the biggest player, Apple, gut a feature and lie to them about it being a good thing, and they will believe it. Now to recapture the average consumer the other players in the market have to adhere to those changes.

Beeper couldn't bring iMessage to Android but it can still make a great chat app
OP obviously meant non Apple watches paired with iPhones.
Apple is using their market power to degrade their competitors product. Of course I could switch to android, but I dont want to, solely because texting iPhone users would become a much worse experience
Just ordered a copy on your suggestion. Looking forward to reading it!
Yes, this is pretty high up on my list. I've already done a little bit of work on pagination/fragmentation, but it will take me some time.
From a hardware standpoint third party fitness trackers with full integration into iHealth and third party ear buds with the same (or better) features than airpods.

Part of the IBM settlement required them to document interoperability. That was used by the DoJ to force Microsoft to document their CIFS (distributed storage) and Active Directory (naming/policy) protocols.

The latter might be particularly instructive as my experience with CIFS when I worked at NetApp was the different ways that Microsoft worked to be "precisely" within the lines but to work against the intent. Documentation like "this bit of this word must always be '1'" Which as any engineer knows, if it really was always '1' then that bit didn't have to be in the protocol, so what did it do when it wasn't '1'?
Why make it a full VSCode download instead of a plugin?
The majority of people I see complaining about apple’s walled garden ecosystem are people who are also proud to admit they don’t use apple products. It’s never made sense to me why people who don’t even use the products care so much about it. If people wanted to be able to do the things they claim they want to, they would switch to android but they don’t.
It actually does matter if it has no practical bearing on Apple’s market (most easily seen in pricing) power.

Theoretical competition is not sufficient to demonstrate absence of a monopoly.
If you observe them doing something you explicitly told them not to do ... why not terminate the interview right then? Actually, if they do this (copy from ChatGPT) it's really good insight into their personality - saves you a ton of potential hassle if you were to hire them.

Right now, there are SO MANY smart and qualified coders looking for work. Not all of us, I mean them, are cheaters. The recruiter or whoever is managing your candidate "top of funnel" needs to do a better job before these candidates reach you.

Under capitalism workers dont have autonomy to do what they want. They do what the bosses want who themselves do the dictates of the system, which is to maximize profit above everything else, in one form or another, for capital owners.

This is one of the main reasons why solo-dev passion projects vastly exceed quality, usefulness, etc than a commercial product. See also Windows Server vs Linux-based servers.
I don't eat fast food or drink normal/diet soda enough to taste the difference, and the difference got even smaller when McDonald's in my country moved away from Coke Light/Diet Coke, and only sold Coke Zero as the no-sugar alternative.
I'm surrounded by anti-vaxxers in the rural county I live in. 78% of them have been infected with covid at least once (same 78% voted for Trump here in 2020), and that crud is currently reinfecting folks here now.

A neighbor told me last week everyone in his family were infected a few weeks ago. His 80 year old father ended up in the ICU for a week because he couldn't breath. They had to call a ambulance because of that. He told me was bedridden for week sicker than he's ever been.

A result of the anti-covid vaccine is parents here have decided to not get their children vaxxed for anything now. Our schools are basically a breeding ground for spreading crud now.
I had "The Talk" with my parents, 82 and 79 respectively. They were surprised to learn about it, but they seemed to basically get it. They nodded. I said "what happens if you get a text message from your bank with a link to a webpage?" and they said "never click the link, go to the bank website and look for an alert, then call up the bank if I can't find it there". And so on.

Great, that's that worry taken care of.

Not even one month later my mom spent an hour on the phone with a scammer before my dad finally got suspicious and made her hang up. I still have no idea what all they had her do, and she doesn't remember either. We had to basically treat it as a successful identify theft and potential intrusion into her device, even though she didn't actually give them any money, thankfully.

So, I don't know if The Talk actually does it. For her, it was the fact that there was another person on the line (people wouldn't lie to you, obviously) and that this person was telling her they'd get in trouble if she didn't go through these steps with them. The scammers are cynical experts, they're way more sophisticated than the median elderly person they're fucking with.

This all made me very scared for them, because I don't even know if this single incident will be enough to make them sufficiently canny.
I'm sharing this because this CVE is commonly used by guys that hate/misunderstand Rust to "prove" that Rust is not able to offer memory safety.
What these people don't get is that the bug was in unsafe code.
I dont think it twists it. Even if the owner is the employee, the questions and calculus is the same.

If you work for a completely employee owned coop with a profit, would you reinvest it for less money tomorrow?

You can even take money out of it and talk about goods. IF your coop job runs a profit, would you rather get 2 free hams this year, or choose to wait and instead get 1 free ham next year.
Harmonizing Creation and Compensation: Open-Source AI in a Copyrighted World
I'm not saying balance was a problem - quite the opposite. It turns out balance is not a problem. I'm saying that in a world without bicycles, I don't think it's obvious that balance is not a problem. My point is that I find it quite reasonable that people just didn't even think about a two-wheeled vehicle for a long time because it's not obvious that it will be stable.

What people did try to make work was a four-wheeled cart, which I think is in line with a tricycle. I also agree there were other factors - I think there is no single answer to this question, but rather a constellation of factors. My claim is that I believe it reasonable to include people's lack of imagination that two-wheels could work in that list of factors.
I initially read "hardware companies", which sounded like an interesting read as well.
Probably not in practice. You do save that ctrl-b keypress tho.
I don't know how prevalent tricycles were but in the article the advertisement for the "saftey bike" says "safer then any tricycles" so there were some. Not sure why they were safer then tricycles of the time. Were these tricycles tall?

You are specifically choosing to not have message interoperability? Why?
“Apple improved upon the notoriously unreliable Bluetooth standard and then slightly degraded wired listening by requiring a $9 dongle” is quite a weak anti-trust argument. Almost all innovation comes from this type of vertical integration.
I wonder if people made comments like these in support of Internet Explorer when Microsoft was dealing with antitrust law in court.
PGP isn't an end-to-end encryption service; it's a public-key encryption package.

To clarify macintux's statement, you can only guarantee end-to-end encryption will both remain secure and allow your messages to be read if you control both ends. If you do not control the other end, but you give it the ability to decrypt your messages (and thus let them be read), then whoever does control the other end can save the plaintext, post it elsewhere, and generally do whatever they want with it.

To be "end-to-end encrypted", something has to actually be a service you are using, not merely a method of encryption. An end-to-end encrypted service could use PGP if it wanted (AFAIK), but PGP, in itself, is just a way for you to encrypt your messages, and then, optionally, share your public key to allow them to be decrypted by those you give it to, while also guaranteeing that those messages came from you (as long as you have kept your private key safe).

So I'm afraid your question, as it stands, doesn't really make sense, but I hope this has helped to answer the underlying questions for you.
Epic losing their suit pretty much torpedoed that plank. The findings there would basically tread the same ground and were already found in Apple's favor as a matter of law.
Seriously! Can these people not even read what they write or are they so out of touch with reality. Jesus.
You very well may have been talking to victims of a fraud factory.

True, although not widely known it would seem.

It does use diff to generate patches, however. I know in today's GitHub-dominated landscape, that's considered a bit of a dusty feature, but it would be a pity to break it.
A high yield toner cartridge can print between 3000 and 8000 pages of text [1]. Average number of pages in a scientific manuscript is 10 [2]. This means that it would take 300 to 800 printed scientific papers to deplete one cartridge. I would have to assume that a single toner cart is not the same amount of waste as a reading device just due to the recyclability of toner carts, but it is up to you how to count them. If I was going to pull a number out of my ass, I would say 10 carts would be equal to one reading device with battery. Let's go low-end and pick 300 papers, which means you would need to print 3000 full scientific manuscripts to equal the waste of one reading device. How many do you read in two years?

This reminds me of the recent movie “Perfect Days”. It’s about a japanese man who lives his ikigai cleaning Tokyo toilets.
I'm not talking about teenagers. If you think that your social life is the same with and without imessage you're wrong, regardless of how old you are.

Using any other app just adds friction - obviously your best friend isn't going to stop talking to you because of it but weaker relationships might not survive.
They added a chat application, so you can get daily spam from onlyfans promoters, or cryptocurrency schills, before you get so annoyed you disable it.
In my field, certainly. We expect them to prepare a presentation for the interview as well. Our pond is not large enough, there are not hundreds of positions to apply to.
statistically most people live in a handful of areas, and COL there is high. more jobs there, though, so it becomes a balance.

if I could pull 90k in rural Kentucky I'd live like a king, but that's not easy, and most people aren't that lucky.

> I’ve got an Intel Pro that would very slightly shock me when plugged in.

Oh, I remember this! Happened to me when traveling with my Intel-MacBook Pro to South Korea and perhaps some other countries.
I hope this lawsuit fails. As a user, I’m very happy with the tight Apple ecosystem, and I don’t want my experience to be compromised just because some other companies wants to make money in Message or Photos space.

The only place Apple needs to change, imho, is the app store tax.
You haven't looked at the statistics on this, have you?

Imagine vastly simplified world where people are in full time education (with no income and zero net worth) until age 20, then they start earning wealth at a constant rate. At age 30 they'd have 10 years of savings. At age 60 they'd have 40 years of savings, and that's 4x as much.
It's hard to tie all that together. Generic Bluetooth devices work just like you are used to everywhere else -- that is, kinda shitty and unreliable. Must we suffer a universally crappy experience by preventing Apple from improving BT for their own headsets?

Maybe they should be required to license the tech, if they are not already. But I don't want to degrade my experience just because that's the only way to have a level playing field. Maybe the BT standards group could get off their ass and make the underlying protocol better.
It isn't about you, it's about me who can't install iMessage on an Andorid phone or a Linux desktop and participate in your group chats in reasonable capacity.

Hey, thanks! Definitely need to look into Excel add-ins!!
We are already preventing 99% of preventable deaths. As you say, most ‘preventable deaths’ we prevent just turn into a new later more creative preventable death. In many cities you can be homeless and have better mortality prevention than a medieval king.

I don’t know how people think that we’ll draw a line somewhere clear. It is (and should always be) a moving target.

I think most progress has this moving goalpost. Because of this, we need to multitask as a civilization. We can’t just focus on ‘safety is number 1’… because we’ll never do anything else.
I agree. I've had people tell me "That's not the Mac way; use another desktop". Oh, OK; but it sure would be handy if I could somehow access my minimized windows easily with my keyboard can we have that, too?
I have a generic email address and its constantly being added to various new websites, apps, projects, etc. Its bizarre how blatant this is.

Its very cleary an IPO strategy is to hire "marketing companies" that are really botnet controllers to create users for your site to make it more attractive to investors. Then leadership gets to play dumb when these "marketing companies" are filling their user roster.
>Havok said "I rely on it for say navigation".

Yes - the distinction I had in mind was avoiding the AI driven feeds/reel apps like tiktok and insta. Rather than drawing the line at smart/dumb phone...though yes that would achieve the same I suppose.

Bit of a hot take perhaps but I don't feel smartphones are inherently problematic.
It's also fairly normal in many western countries. At least in Switzerland you can't officially register a new SIM without showing your ID first or calling a specific ID validation service.
Can also testify to this, also works for transferring files to the device from Linux if app supports (ref VLC, etc). However, the speed is mind-numbingly slow.

Faster and easier to just sync with iCloud, then download from iCloud.

So, why not just vote with my wallet, and get a device that either is more friendly to 3rd party software interaction or simply allows saving to a movable SD card? Because overall things work very smoothly, and it is easy to find and manage settings. These things balance out well against the frustrations, especially when I know from experience that non-Apple devices will present their own frustrations.

To be fair, the philosophical/theoretical/economic foundations of antitrust legislation confuse me. This has not been helped by media bites a la NYT. Maybe if I had months and years of free time and good material I could form a worthy opinion. But for now, I just have trouble seeing how statements like this from OP are contradictory: "The company says this makes its iPhones more secure than other smartphones. But app developers and rival device makers say Apple uses its power to crush competition."
I wonder if their real intent is to gather training data on which parts of papers are considered important by readers, and which topics are related to each other.

We have message interoperability already. I can install any messenger of my choosing. I can install WeChat, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Signal, etc, etc.

But I don't need any of those because 99% of the people I communicate with are on iMessage.
Your list of services where you claim Apple has a dominant position is entirely products where it does not have a dominant position.
Sure hope it has rvv 1.0
They already acquired Alien Blue, the (once) most popular and beloved mobile Reddit client. How much more goodwill does the company need?
But I thought all of Apple's users were extremely rational actors who freely chose for their experience to be restricted because they knew it was better. Surely if the alternative app stores were so inferior and dangerous all of these discerning users would reject them, and paying the 30% tax would be well worth the competitive advantage of offering your product at the only marketplace that notoriously lucrative cohort would accept. You're not insinuating that Apple's userbase isn't that sophisticated and doesn't make purchasing choices based on factors other than social vibes?
It's fairly common to 'pop', I would have said somewhat more common than a plummet (at least for real IPOs of real companies, ie not SPAC mergers or similar nonsense).
That merely means go long on them :)
From the press release, this paragraph is making me hit the exploding head emoji many times:

"To assist care providers whose finances have been disrupted by the cyberattack, the company has advanced more than $2 billion thus far through multiple initiatives. The company recognizes the high level of fragmentation of the U.S. health system can result in uneven experiences, therefore it continues to enhance and expand funding support to make it easier for care providers to access funding help at no cost. To further assist care providers, the company also suspended prior authorizations for most outpatient services and utilization review of inpatient admissions for Medicare Advantage plans."
This is Paul Graham we're talking about. The man who on 12/23/2023, for the first time ever, installed a valid SSL certificate on his website.

Once you adjust browser settings enough to read the content he publishes, you'll notice that he praises the recent developments at Reddit, so let's just say he's not a guy that follows best practices or understands good UX.

the venn diagram of retail meme stock traders and redditors is almost a circle. I don't think anyone has the chaos-theory-modeling tea-leaf-reading ability to understand the timing around shorting this stock right after IPO.
I'm surprised no mention of Apple's forced 30% on all transactions, complete with hard requirement that you never mention the fee to your users.
Yes, some people confuse contrarianism for cynicism and both for wisdom.
Riding a horse is HARD. Riding a bicycle is so much easier and safer. I gave up horse back riding after falling for the 4th time and seeing all the paralyzed people at horse shows. Being randomly yeeted 15 feet in the air by a half ton animal because it saw a weird shadow on the ground makes riding a road bike in traffic seem downright tame.

83% of horseback riders are injured while riding. It's literally an extreme sport more dangerous than skiing or motorcycle racing. It boggles my mind to see riders without helmets or other protective gear.
>> So when it comes to Steam they are clearly competing fairly and evenly in a free market. If Apple were the same (iPhone could run 3rd party app stores, or you could install Android on you Apple hardware)

I can buy android devices that are as good as the iPhone or better in their own way and have all those features (side loading other app stores). Is that not the free market in action?

Airium is close: https://gitlab.com/kamichal/airium
Yes but that doesn't distract from the airtags issue, because airtags are supported by the OS itself, not a specific app. Good on Apple for applying the same rules to it's apps, but not so good on Apple for not giving Tile a way to work in the same manner as airtags.

Thanks for summarizing. As someone deeply entrenched in Apple's ecosystem, and who admittedly prefers the walled garden, I really have no problem if any of these five things were struck down.

Better competition for cloud streaming apps? Seems good for me as a user. Better messaging interoperability? I don't have anyone in my family or friends group who wasn't already on an iPhone, and I thought this was coming already with RCS anyway, but sure let's go. Better smartwatch support? If it makes Apple want to build even better Apple Watches, I'm all for it. And all of my cards already work with Apple Wallet so this has no bearing on me either.

The only one that's really ambiguous is "Super Apps". I'd be greatly inconvenienced if Apple things stopped working so well together, but I wouldn't be inconvenienced at all if others get a chance to build their own "super apps".
Because its bad for consumers to have to choose a different device solely because of Apple's anti-competitive practices. This is exactly the sort of scenario when regulation is good - Apple is acting in their best interest, but its on-the-whole bad for the American consumer. We can have the good of Apple without the anti-competitive bullshit like a lack of message interoperability. We just need the government to enforce it
As far as I remember, it's down to security concerns.
