You can certainly argue that more control makes iPhones safer, since its harder to get malicious software on the phone. But Apple is also abusing their control for their own gain.

You could also argue that locking you in a room would be safer than letting you walk freely out in the world. But I don’t we want that either.

There isn’t really any getting away with. If what Apple does is within the law then the EU can’t prevent it. I’m sure somebody is looking into preventing Apple from doing it, but propper legislation takes time.

They are well aware of how we feel about them. They just don’t care.

Everything the American government does at the moment is with full intent. its calculated and the sooner we stop thinking of them as stupid and incompetent the better.

Not just good enough software. Also good enough cameras and good enough processing power. None of which curenty match humans so this is not a valid argument.

The camera only system is just worse at everything.

I don’t understand their endgame here. I’m sure they could take over Canada by force if they wanted, but keeping it is a whole other matter. They should have learned from the many wars they fought that occupying land the locals don’t want you to occupy sucks.

They already have strategic control over Greenland. Denmark would let the USA do almost whatever they want on greenland.

Denmark probably were the USAs biggests bitch in Europe until they started threatening Greenlands sovereignity.

Hard agree. Why do people always expect someone else to foot the bill for their parking needs?

Your car takes up space when parked. Somebody is paying for that space, so you need to do so when you park there. It’s not that difficult.

“who else but this guy could have designed this?”

I was thinking the exact same thing when I first saw the cybertruck. It just wasn’t In a good way.

Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.

I don’t think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.

I actually agree with you that, the EU/Europe destination doesn’t matter that much, but my pedantic side have to point out that “Europe” technically also include Belarus and a big chunk of Russia.
