EU Has 'No Intention' to Repeal DMA Following Apple Challenge

The EU already has protections against the collection or use of health related data for tracking (and many other protected types). Tracking works differently in the EU by law, even when you give your consent.

It’s just an example. The point is customers will not know “Let Meta display my notifications on my sunglasses” will lead to additional tracking. And I suspect the EU won’t let Apple tell them.

And this is all besides the original point - the EU shouldn’t be forcing Apple to give away access to its translation technology to Apple’s competitors. It’s a bad law that when taken to its logical conclusion will absolutely chill innovation and reduce consumer choice, and already is doing so.

Remember, if Apple loaded iPhones with Android it’d be 100% DMA compliant and consumers would lose all choice and competition. But sure, the law “encourages completion”.

Well what do you think is preventing such swapping?

Thers a common cheap and sometimes underhanded way scammers fix screens. They replace your oled with an cheap lcd screen.

These screens are not plug and play compatible. Someone has to intervene with some hacks to make it happen. You are missing the entire point by conceding with a bit of ingenuity, time materials and labor we can swap screens.

They are plug and play as you purchase them as replacement parts. And as easy to install as OEM.

They are just cheaper and can often be half the price 🤷‍♂️
 
So this is so cool ...

This is what competition for App Stores can look like!

Innovative features and ways to curate/promote/discover/etc

Love it!

Interesting. I see this and think "I hope they're not spending a lot of money on that, because it is a terrible idea that appeals to almost no one." (To be clear, no offense meant for those who like the idea, and I happy to be proven wrong).
