whoa looks like they also fined apple over their botched PR/tech rollout for the iphone battery problems. both of these fines kick rear end

also project treble is not mandatory, samsung have said they aren't going to use it

and the new requirement for security updates on phones that sell 100k+ is... something, at least. it looks fairly toothless though, even for phones that fall under it: the first year of security updates are required to be released quarterly over the calendar year, but the second year of updates don't appear to have a mandated schedule, just "the manufacturer will provide them" or something like that

it's literal loving pocket change, it does not "kick rear end"

what would kick rear end is the full and immediate seizure of all apple's assets within their jurisdiction (and subsequent redistribution to the poor, with the bulk of the payments being made to members of oppressed groups) and a formal indictment of all of the company's top leadership

how many times has google done the "no, this time we are serious about forcing oems and carriers to provide updates or at the very least security updates, really we are" dance. four? five? more?

is it more or less than the number of times theyve promised that is totally going to be the year that we get serious about making and selling hardware?

italy couldn't even bring themselves to throw the book at a convicted kidnapper that was dumb enough to revisit the eu with an active arrest warrant against her, there's no way they're ever going to get around to this.

Friend of mine had his Nexus 5X die finally after touting its lifespan. Made a reservation (?) at Best Buy for a Moto some poo poo that’s $250. iPhone 7 at $449 is too expensive.

but since he knew the nexus would break , he’s now only faced with the simple task of alternating the phone between the freezer and oven like a digiorno to try and recover some sort of token that’s on it .

I don’t have a copy of the DSM V handy - what’s this affliction called again ?

RED has spent the last year building up expectations around this “holographic” screen. It’s only shown the phone to a small number of people — including director J.J. Abrams, who supposedly said the phone was “ground-breaking, barrier-smashing, bar-raising, and badass.”
