It works quite well for some use cases

Uhm yes? You don't have to develop them specifically for iOS, maintain a separate codebase, pay their extortion fees, or need to buy their Computers to develop

Crippling PWAs would benefit their baseline through their App Store or Core Technology Fee though

Then try again. Rossmann Made a video about it, here is another article talking about it https://www.sir-apfelot.de/en/ssd-failures-in-macbook-models...
They are granting their App Store or Core Technology Bullshit an huge advantage
They worked just fine until now. Also PWA's are sandboxed in the Browser, and Apple still reviews every App, even the 3rd Party ones
Browser Choice, forcing Microsoft to Unbundle Edge again from Windows and making their crap uninstallable...
At this point they are begging to be punished. No way the EU can save their face without a reaction after all these Middle fingers from Apple

That's why there are so many reports about M1 Notebooks dying after 3/4 years out there.

There are huge noticeable differences between a 10 year MBA and a recent one

Yeah until they die because the not changeable SSDs has reached their cycles. I see many old ThinkPads still humming in the university library, but not many old macs.

That's bullshit. You still get the phone thrown after you with a Phone Contract, and often it's the same price as buying the phone in a store. Even with a 2 year contract
Re:Apple's iMessage Avoids EU's Digital Markets Act Regulation on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @07:34PM (#39364817)
It isn't a status symbol in western Europe. Really Every moron can get one with their 30-50€/Mo contracts, and you see many poor people running around with it
Re:Apple's iMessage Avoids EU's Digital Markets Act Regulation on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @07:33PM (#39364812)
It's available on many platforms. Otherwise no one would use it, since iPhones are quite the minority in Europe

No why should you ignore road deterioration? Road deterioration is Weight^4
Re:Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @03:24AM (#39355683)
Nope that's just wrong, you often get more space in the regular car. The classic "ugly" family cars like Renault Espace or VW Sharan provide waaaaay more space than the SUVs
Re:Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @03:19AM (#39355656)
SUVs are shit with interior space. Compare an X5 with a VW Sharan and you will see the latter one is a space wonder
If you can't rent a flat for you alone or are two to three pay checks away from eviction with 61-81k/year I'm afraid, you can't handle money. No cashier earns so much money
As opposed to the US where every cashier at Dollar General owns a home and lives free of monetary worries
You know what these huge towers with white smoke at nuclear plants do?

It's a start, you have to roll out measures like this slowly or people will oppose it. It's the same with sane tempo restrictions in cities.

Maybe in the US. Not here in Europe

In the server market value for money counts. No one is paying a huge premium for the brand there
