The article seems unfounded to me. We need regulation because companies are gaining more power, money, and data. Social networks are shaping entire societies to behave in different ways. Android is able to comply with these rules when implementing AI why not Apple? Late? Poor implementation? . However, I hope that movements like this will push the EU to create conditions and finance channels to enable competition in the tech space. I agree that Europe is lagging more and more behind, but Apple not releasing their products here is not the problem. Not having big tech companies is the problem


I see many Chinese companies there. Wasn't nvidia not allow to sell this kind of gpus to China?


That ban only took effect around Thanksgiving (late November 2023).


Until recently pixel did not allowed 5G in several Europeans countries, it was sw disabled. Meanwhile they activated it some weeks ago because they are launching the phone officially there . This kind of things is just stupidity, no one in the world does that why would they do? To provide a bad experience? It seems that they have a product team full of lawyers. Instead of putting sw engineers working on these blocks they could put them fixing the 911 issue


If a device is still pending approval by the RF spectrum regulator in a country, they're required to not use those channels by law. Software blocks mean that they can sell a device that's hardware capable before regulatory approval, and then unlock the functionality later. It allows them to ship the same hardware globally but comply with differing laws in different regions, and it's far from just google that does this. Every major wireless access point vendor, for example, will require you to identify the country in which you are operating and software lock which channels you are allowed to use, alongside other limitations like transmit power.


Of course their market share will decrease. No news here. The question is : will they still be the n#1 EV company ? probably yes


And like Apple, will they still have the best margins in the business? I'd also guess yes.


They negotiated a lot in Tiananmen Square, Hong Kong more recently and Taiwan in the near future.

Imagine the Capitol attack in China, it would be a massacre


China has nuclear weapons, so obviously direct attacks on China are inadvisable. Same rules don't apply to countries without nukes.


Besides the multibrowser / OS limitation, is there any other drawback on using native browser pass managers?


What this article does not say is that the prime Minister has 6 houses... So he is benefiting from this (https://www.cmjornal.pt/politica/detalhe/antonio-costa-tem-c...)

We are living more and more in a world where people work but are not able to live with dignity


I don't doubt it. However, the source you've chosen (Correio da Manhã) is famously untrustworthy. It's the butt of many jokes here in Portugal, being regarded as everything a news organization shouldn't be.


It was declared on his 'declaration of interests' or whatever it is called. Was also published in Eco and Publico (at least saw in these two).

And from what I remember, a lot of the politicians in the Parliament also have multiple properties, and lets not even remember the 'Rubles' case.


And also in a world where bricks make more money than honest hard work.


We need a cap on property ownership for those in the political class. That's the key to fairer policies.


Is it fair to prevent wealthy people from going into politics? Does a politician have to be poor or middle class, or not own homes? At what point do the restrictions begin to become 'unfair'? Some people are born with wealth, which under this system would put them at a disadvantage in politics...fair?

Fair always has two sides, and it's "impossible" to come up with a perfectly fair system.


You can always lose your wealth, pretty much instantly and painlessly. The inverse is not true.


Firefox has great privacy features today. The containers, also Relay which allows you to create email alias. We all can wait some ms more to open a web page and support an independent browser


I got some emails from them asking for some dates, I gave them 5 different timeslots, 5 times and they failed to answer within all the time-frame I gave to the. no-go for me after this.


Everyone who had dogs knows that this is a not correct. There are behavioral characteristics that you see in races like Labradors Rottweilers, etc
