The Japanese legislation applies to all platform holders. Does this mean that Android vendors will have to offer SIRI on their platform? I can't imagine anyone sane wanting that but we never know. Who else is considered a Platform holder in Japan?
Got a tip for us?

They could, if they want. EU could easily hold elections in Asia, South America and Africa. -Thanks to France’s DOM. I remember France’s Olympic Swimming finals were held in Micronesia.
BTT: Apple should make Siri better. I think most people wouldn’t even consider switching away from Siri if it wasn’t one of the most useless assistants ever. Even when Siri got released it lacked already behind on both, human voice and features towards Alexa and Googles one.

Mexico has the good Coca-Cola with made with cane sugar. In the US, freakin' country that invented it, we get the high-fructose corn syrup version. Why? Because laws were passed to help corn farmers get rid of all the freakin' corn they were growing. Now, in the US, a product made with actual sugar is a luxury sold at Whole Foods.
I hope there is backlash from the rest of the world and Apple allow everyone to choose the assistant. It's not fair to allow some countries and not others (well in a business sense) but we want choice!

You'll have to explain to me why some people are so opposed to choice.
You can keep you're motor if you like (though I'd suggest that Siri is a little more Fiat than Ferrari).
I can buy cane sugar Coca Cola at Kroger and Meijer. You just have to look for it.
I haven’t had it, though, as I don’t drink soda…so not sure what the hype is about.
Has no access to App Intents though. And that’s what the EU wants for 3rd party services.
Bro, they re-imort it from Mexico to sell it here at grocery stores for literally $35.49/24-pack. Over $3 individually. In Mexico, a 2-liter of the good sugar cane stuff is 25 cents. You completely missed my point.
I’ve logged into login gov. But you are correct. With iOS, Linux and windows I will only do certain things in windows.
It's 6.49 here for a 4-pack, in glass. So $1.63/bottle. Upper midwest. Pricy, yes, but my only point is that you can get it here without going to Whole Foods. Every grocery store in town has it, except Trader Joe's, I guess.
I don't personally care as I don't drink soda, cane sugar, corn sugar, or otherwise. It's absolutely terrible for your health.

let those who want to use AI, just load our own local models in, in place of Siri. Sounds like this will be the official death knell by Apple, possibly?
