>The bill in question, SB 1596, would require companies to provide the documentation, tools, and parts both customers and independent repair shops need to fix broken products.
If that's their security model, they don't have any security.
that's an incredibly fallacious argument that apple and others make in really bad faith. unless you mean security for apple, that is.
having the right to choose whether replace my screen/battery/etc. with a genuine apple (tm) part or a high-quality substitute does not diminish my security. if i use a cheap knock-off from alibaba, it might be less quality or any number of other scams and problems, so if you care - don't do that.
it's not apple's job to decide whether i want more or less "security", what my security goals are, or the best way to achieve it (e.g. not being "securely" locked into their ecosystem). and for some people it will be just buying apple-care and new phones every couple years, and that's fine.
LOL. Inspire is nothing close to inspiring. Additionally, if Amazon was doing so well, it would not have struck such a lucrative deal with Tiktok to push Amazon product content on Tiktok platform. Amazon is losing its footing. It is grossly dated, and they fire anyone who can bring actual innovation to its services.
Ah, yes. The dream of company towns is alive and well for Amazon. Wish we could get some strict regulatory standards to block Amazon from obliterating cities and towns like that of Walmart. One was enough.
Discussion of "energy transfer" is particularly troubling. IMO, it's very much a brush off in ownership to "whoever" (e.g., "small economic actors"). It's hard to be an economic superpower when there's no stable power grid, USA.
For responsible scientists and researchers who've disclosed to Google how this is being used to execute large-scale phishing attacks, and Google opting to not fix it, this news warms our hearts.
Anything to push their Games division to success. Sounds about right for Amazon; it's their business model. Make a deal with 3rd party, learn about them through legal and illegal means, then kill them.
Isn't Amazon being sued by SEC for this exact thing?
