Apple poached engineers from the company that owns the patent for the blood oxygen sensor, rather than bothering to license their tech. Company sued and Apple lost, now their products are under an import ban.

I’ve proactively blocked automatic updates on my watch in anticipation of them doing a rug pull on the feature.

Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.

That counts as unauthorized access in the eyes of the law. It’s a private system and they did not have any agreements permitting them to use it as they wanted.

Why would they need to look into Apple’s conduct here? Investigate Beeper for CFAA violations since they cracked into Apple’s internal APIs and ignored large chunks of their ToS in the process.

Of course Apple is going to shut down unauthorized access to their messaging system. They’d lose all customer trust instantly if they didn’t.

Hey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if their apps are still screwed up and sending large amounts of junk traffic at me, but at least now it’s going into a void.

Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.

Or quit using his code altogether.

Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.

He probably had to drop it because his lawyers wanted paid up front to represent him.

How exactly does this keyboard make the iPad “more like a laptop”? It’s a keyboard, we’ve had iPad keyboard forever. Needs OS support to allow more laptop-y features.

Looks like I’m about to switch fully to YT-DL/Plex for the subscriptions I care about. Should be good until they start embedding ads into the video files anyway.

Yeah, after literally bankrupting Westinghouse and costing us Georgians billions of dollars. I’m all for more nuclear power but this project was a colossal shitshow.

Georgia also has some shiny new solar factories so I’m interested to see how deep into renewables we can get in the next decade.

They can, but Reddit can just as easily restore it, with a blank mod list. But based on their actions I wouldn’t be surprised if they outright ban any mods that try this.

Probably, it’d be pretty stupid not to put his ex-Twitter engineers on the Threads projects. But it’s entirely legal to have your employees work on something close to what they did at their last job. I’d be very, very surprised if Meta knowingly allowed stolen IP to be incorporated into their new product, Musk needs to provide some evidence to back his claims.

What “trade secrets” does he claim were stolen? Obviously ex-Twitter employees who move to Meta know their tech stack. But there’s not a chance that their codebases are compatible so even if someone directly carried cover over from Twitter to a new job at Meta, it’s not like it would be useful.

And if he thinks current Meta employees are still accessing Twitter IP/code/etc, Elon probably needs to first look internally and maybe not fire entire security & compliance teams.

Apollo going away was the catalyst for me. I will never use Reddit’s garbage website or first-party app.

Plus Lemmy gave me an excuse to host another neat service and still waste the same time I did on Reddit.
