Apple already knows the EU is going this way.
Apple is probably already close to leaving the EU, since the financial risk of staying there is too great.

A higher minimum wage in a number of states will usher in many uses of robots to take over lots of jobs, and more robots doing jobs like that means more robots being able to move into other jobs more quickly.
AI needs interconnections.
Starlink exists, for locations that cannot be tied back to the primary internet connections of the area.
Also this is more about future profitability than current, assuming projected power needs for AI are correct. At some point it could easily be profitable.
This seems like a pretty good use of otherwise wasted power....
However I wonder if any some point, it would actually be more profitable to use that energy to power compute for other things - possibly AI farms.
1) Got nuclear?
2) Got coal?
Apple could've implemented the indicator in some other manner rather than making each and every bubble that God-awful bright florescent green color.
OOOOHHHH ! I know! They can make it rainbow!
Suit DISMISSED.
Kermit was right I guess, personally I always liked the green.
Is this Reddit? Because YTA.
Been a while since I've seen such an egregious collection of misinformation in a post.
Just a few random points you got wrong, out of the large total:
1) Not up to Apple to port third party iOS apps to Android.
2) No one pressures people to switch to Android because it's not liked as much it's just there.
3) Market capitalization has nothing to do with how much they are making.
4) You could have used a Lightning to headphone adapter all along champ, you never had to use Bluetooth.
5) The blue/green bubble is not vindictive, it's a technical indicator giving you important information about what you can and cannot send to other other side. It was humanity at large that came to the conclusion that green bubble people were lower on the social stratum.
Have to say your wife sounds nice though.
A few times, I've fallen asleep watching some YouTube video on the couch, and woken up an hour or two later... with several videos having been played through while I was basically AFK.
Seems pretty bad to capture data on people watching anything, on a platform that auto-plays random strings of videos based on what it thinks you might want to see. Or, at the very least a pretty useful dataset.
In your saying that your government is simultaneously driving inflation both up and down at the same time.
No.
I said they act to drive inflation up and down.
But it is at different times, depending on what the current desired direction of movement is.
The goal in theory is 2% but there are many factors involved and they appear to have giving up trying to regain 2%.
In part because it's an election year.
Well, the first half, never got any farther. I bought it because of good reviews and found it unreadable, uninspired, shallow and recycling ideas that proper SF has discovered a few decades ago.
I can't remember exactly what all was in the last half of the book but I think you skipped out on some pretty interesting ideas in the last half I don't recall seeing elsewhere before. I am pretty sure it's those ideas that give it such high marks from so many.
However I would agree it's not easy to read, and I only made it through about half of the second book before I stopped... maybe I made a similar mistake but I can't argue that maybe what is there is not worth forcing yourself to get through the writing.
I've still not seen any of the TV shows based on this but plan to watch the Netflix one to see if it does a better job presenting the story.
That works great locally, but not for power for an entire grid... it's not practical for everyone to get individual solar panels.
It's a great option for us 1%ers though! Not to be trapped by bad life choices of our governments. I am right there with you brother, do not use the power of the peasants if you have the money to opt out.
Seems like the DOJ has been really hounding Apple in recent years.
Another few legal attacks like this and the next Project Red iPhone is going to be "MAGA Edition"!
We have seen that it is a waste of time to argue in good faith with people dumb enough to play parrot for the nuclear industry.
I am playing for the good of all humanity.
You are playing against.
I would say thanks for playing but people like you and the prevention of the advancement of nuclear power have caused probably millions of deaths, so I really don't feel like thanking you for that.
One thing about nuclear power most people do not think about, is how you an so easily store decades of spare power in a warehouse or two.
Nuclear energy is so powerful that you can hold years worth of power for an entire nation in an amount of space, that would take entire U.S. states to store using any other form of energy.
This buffers any possible issues from supply shocks or other kinds of issues that can lead to you not having a stable energy supply for the nation.
Japan once had this, they when they shut down the nuclear reactors they sold off most of the spare stock... but now they are restarting a lot of reactors and sorely regretting selling off all of that massive energy reserve they once had.
You contradict yourself when you say that the government is forcing inflation by failing to keep it down.
That's because that is not what I said.
The governments goal was to drive 2% per year inflation. So you cannot feel the pain. Like boiling a frog.
However in recent years it has been over that target, so they have been desperately trying to bring it back down.
Where is the contradiction? They don't want people to feel inflation, but the fact is food costs alone have gone up fast enough now people notice.
"The money supply has surprisingly little effect on that. If more money is available, people will, in order: 1. pay off debts, 2. save up, 3. buy things."
Irrelevant what PEOPLE will do because we are talking about the total money supply from the government.
With more money, that extra money will be chasing the same amount of goods, thus driving up prices generally.
