If citizens care about the environment they will stop buying Apple products. They don’t, hence they don’t care about the environment. Why make laws that go against the citizen wishes?

So we’ll be unable to ever improve on usb-c? How’s that good for anybody?

> I think it's fine to be stuck on a "good enough" standard, if this results in less e-waste and less need to upgrade all accessories simply because the dominant connection port changed.

That’s your opinion. I disagree and I certainly don’t want to see it written into law.

If this was done years ago we’d be stuck using micro or even mini usb. I shudder at the thought. Lightning was superior to those two. Under this regulation, Lightning and USB-C couldn’t have happened.
If a Chinese oem loses their keys why not just revoke them?

Anybody running AltStore on this and can confirm whether it works right?

Siemens writes a lot of software. Wouldn’t surprise me if Bosch also did
Unfortunately yes it is.

All of this reminds me of good old bluejacking, which was when we did the same thing using Bluetooth.

Don’t use your personal account for a device that is shared by many people.

No it doesn’t. If I give you my phone or you are reading my screen over my shoulder my apps aren’t leaking.

This title is inflammatory.

If you can’t even say which catastrophes are caused by climate change with certainty, then maybe it’s not as clear cut as you think it is.
Re:World on 'catastrophic' path to 2.7C warming, warns UN chief on Friday September 17, 2021 @02:29PM (#28569167)
You can not say that climate change caused them in the same way we don’t say that God caused them.
