Unfortunately, even though you (or me) may not, some random person/company (that we rely on) probably is. And, when they go down, we are coming along no matter what.

Yeah. It is on by default for my iPad. And, boi, almost all third-party apps that I use does not work with that.

Damn it. The UK is not in the EU. 😂

Yes. And, I bet this the ban would not be resumed until next version comes out.

Yeah, true… But, this case is not the best example of that, since Apple is getting punished quite serversly here. And, the fact they there was any punishment / lawsuit at all make the US looks like the fairer place to be. The Chinese big brothers would just swept it under rugs in favour of the bigger company from the get go.

This is the second times Apple got caught red-handed for stealing, and there is no doubt there were many more cases where they got away with it.

Technologically, Window is great. There is no denying that, and if anything some the dated (+ insecure) things on it is the result of its own success, i.e. the app installation and management process, as it is hard to convince billions of people to do anything different.

On the other hand, the management of the company is the biggest problem with everything in and around Window. First, there is no single business model; MS sells you a 1 time licence for the OS itself, but then constantly try to harvest and sell your data (with ads everywhere in Windows 11), and if you want to do any office work then you have to pay a subscription for MS 365. Last but not least, they keep breaking things every few updates, i.e. I actually failed one of my university course because OneDrive decided that my report don’t need to exist after an update (in 2018).
