The App Store was there since the first gen. Steve jobs announce already included it and there were dummy apps like pretending to drink a beer from the iPhone. With the iPhone 3G they changed the SDK in a way that either you released apps for the first two gen or for the newer generations that made the fist two generations almost useless (planned obsolescence you said?)

Then they need to find advertisers. This is the hard part. Advertisers are familiar with the platform and tools of YouTube, having them to submit ads in other platforms is where the for-profit video hosting becomes tricky

Do you realise that we are years (decades?) away from viable open source hardware? You likely use a closed source processor with closed source chipset, GPU and closed source ram. And these are the building blocks, then you have the closed source integrations of these blocks

Same applies to fitness watches. Garmin happens to be one of the best (if not the best) hardware for the purpose, with a decent (not great, just decent) software that is very closed source and very closed in interoperability.

You may say to vote with the wallet… but where? Apple that is even more closed and restrictive? Huawei that deserves its own ethical discussion?

I haven’t looked into Suunto and Polaris but I would be shocked if they were dramatically different since this is their business, selling api and integrations

There is a reason states don’t have military 😉

I really don’t think their goal is consumers.

Sure they want consumers to use generative AI so that they get quality feedback so they can improve the product. But that is not the goal.

The goal is enterprises, the goal is replacing workers with AI.

There are estimations that around 300B$ have spent so far for generative AI. This is not for a gadget that close to no-one likes and burns money rather than make money

This is for removing humans from the productive cycle. It is such an ambitious goal that the various CEOs/shareholders are ok taking such an high risk gamble.

Trump will ditch any red tape to AI because Trump openly wants this world, a world where there isn’t any more the need for immigrants or workers or unions.

My ingenuity suggests me that this plan will fail on technical grounds but if it will not, it will be worse. There will be poverty and civil unrest, there will be instability and wars (it’s always easier to look for the enemy outside rather than inside) and, in the end, economy will not do great either (who will buy the crap people will produce?)

Again, I think that this plan will fail on technological grounds but removing red tapes will not accelerate this failure

Required: only in EU Available: EU close countries (UK, Switzerland, etc)

In the US banking is a bit different than over here. People still pay rent with checks (that in EU are de facto obsolete) possibly sent in an envelope via mail.

You may wonder why…. Because a money transfer (that in EU is generally for free) in US is often a double digit operation.

It’s a mechanism that is compulsory in EU (and nearby countries like Switzerland).

When you try to spend money online (without the plastic card), you need a second factor. In practice in, let’s say, Amazon there is an iframe with a page of your bank that asks to confirm the operation on the banking app or insert the code they sent you by SMS or things like that

If you lived in the medieval, would you have rooted for the apocalypse?

Dude, have you read the article? this is from an article on Nature.

Nature! Not the flat earth society scientific newsletter.

For publishing on Nature it is necessary that a number of the most well reputed experts in the field have peer reviewed the article.

By modern standard of “science”, publishing on Nature or Science is the closest to get to “consensus”.

I see your point in some newspapers articles but this is not one of that cases

My setup as well (plus encrypted DNS for good measure)

I still have to somehow trust my ISP but I go down from having to trust my mobile ISP, my employer WiFi, random shops WiFi to just one ISP (that,fwiw, has shown to be transparent, customers friendly etc)

Microsoft: <comes with a controversial idea>

Google: Hey! That is a great idea! Let me say publicly that I want to do the same

Or give psychological safety that it is demonstrated to increase productivity 🤷‍♂️

What makes you think union decrease productivity instead?

Well it sounds more scary than it realistically will be.

YouTube must pass to the player the metadata of where the ads start/end. Why? Because they need to be unskippable/unseekable/etc. If the metadata is there it is possible to force the seek 🤷‍♂️

Just matter of time

Likely android 7 would not honor (or even be aware) of this new metadata bit. You’ll be fine 🙂

You are technically (and possibly legally) correct… But the spirit of the law is allowing customers to install what they want on their devices.

This move defuses the responsibility to the developers but EU showed in the past that what they care is the spirit of the law and not the law itself…and they are happy to change the laws to make them more adherent to the spirit

Copyright doesn’t work like that.

The fact that you put online (e.g. in an online shop or, heck, even for free on your website) doesn’t imply anyone can use it for anything they please.

For example an mp3 on a indie musician website for making people know their music, doesn’t mean people can start making CD out of it and selling them

You may say that piracy exists but it is illegal and AI training is pretty much for profit piracy (using something outside the intended scope defined by the author for profit)

This was not the driver, it was a config file or something read by the driver. Now having a driver in kernel space depending on a config on a regular path is another fuck up
