Apple would be looking at a fine of over $35 billion. To put that into perspective, that is equivalent to half of Apple’s iPhone sales evaporating instantly.

Now that’s pretty spicy! I’m glad something is finally being done to try and break up the iron grip these companies have on the world. Shame it’s happening at such a glacial pace though

The EC expects its investigations to conclude within 12 months.

I love this. I have to know what the wider context of it is. Is there more?

Cola and cream? 🤔

Alright… I’m in

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

Serious eats 😢 RIP

Can one of you younguns let an old timer like myself know who this person is?

Who checks for updates to the updater 🤔

The point should be to bring everyone up, not pull others down, though

Truthfully?

Hetzner got blocked by who?

This is true. Would probably be much easier technically and legally if they already own it, though.

That’s interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept

That said, I’ve owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I’m not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV

So it’s possible to run it without signing up. Thats good news. All the reviews seem to say it’s a requirement for the initial set up

Are there any special steps to get your set up? I imagine you need to side load your apps because the play store won’t work, but is there anything else?

I suppose I could use someone else’s account for initial set up. I’ve had a look and it seems nextdns allows different profiles per device, so I’ll just block as many google domains as I can that way

Tbh, I’d be happy with side loading both Plex and revanced, but from what I’ve seen, it won’t initialize without a google account

What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn’t understand why they’re better for privacy than any other

Same, this will plague Rod Stewart just like what Team America did to Matt Damon

I’ve not heard about this. Does anyone have a link to share? Can’t find one myself

Down votes is the price you pay for trying to be informative

What do you mean with “went to bed”?
