The claim is the reverse, that it is unethical to decline to provide services to competitors. Equally specious however.

Don't forget about the whole scandal which caused his firing - https://www.businessinsider.co...

Story failed to mention the how much of an asshole he was and how much mass misery in his wake. I don't recall how many total people he gave the axe to over at HP but he was certainly responsible for laying off well over 10,000 people. He also helped to destroy what was left of the old culture at HP that had somehow survived Carly Fiorna. The world is a better place without him and he can burn in hell.

for what he did to HP.

Immigration *policy* is racism. Do you see a militarized secure border north of the US? No, you do not.

Did they study the improvement on early classes if kids went to sleep and woke earlier? Did they study the benefits when kids stay up even later and wake even later?

Didn't we last month some story about MsDev IDE taking one full core to implement the blinking cursor? They probably tuned the code for this specific test.

Nobody believes you, MS. And even if it were true, Edge sucks so fucking bad that I'd rather have a shorter battery life and a decent browser than that worthless piece of shit browser you've produced.

Did it occur to you that maybe if a repair shop can intercede with the authentication mechanism, so can govt. spooks (think Chinese Govt vs. Political Activists) as well as hackers after your apple pay info, or other sensitive data stored in your keychain? The independant repair industry for a $1000 product that has a practical life beyond the warranty period of just a year or two, for just a few specific parts is far, far, FAR less important that data security and protection from absolutely everyone. So while most people will not think twice about it and say "Fuck Apple.". No. Fuck you. Go buy an Android any ass-hat can repair then. I prefer my iPhone to be as secure as they can practically make it, while keeping it relatively functional.

Wages for virtual ditch digging is going up in Silicon Valley. Top rate was $25 per hour. I've seen positions going for $40 per hour. Most millennials don't want to drive more than 30 minutes away from San Francisco (i.e., Menlo Park, Palo Alto or Mountain View). Southern Silicon Valley is 45 to 90 minutes away from San Francisco.

I don't understand why companies would even give a shit about cultural or demographic homogeneity issues. They exist to make money, period. Nothing else matters, except as it relates to that.

Or maybe it was something you failed to comprehend. It certainly seems to be implied, even though it's not explicitly stated. With such poor critical thinking skills among the masses, it's no wonder they turn to the government to be their nanny.

They are doing this to cut their expenses. I understand why small businesses might need to do it, but close this loophole for big ultraprofitable megacorps like Amazon. Also quit allowing them to stash their profits overseas and avoid paying tax. This should be a bipartisan effort, and any politician opposed to it should be voted out of office.

The touch sensor is tied to the CPU.

That's all the "error 53" issue is.

It's intentionally tied so that some asshole who steals you iPhone, and then parts it out on eBay for grey market repairs now has a worthless piece of junk.

This discourages assholes like that from stealing your iPhone in the first place, because they can maybe sell the battery and a couple of other parts ... and that's it.

Do you think all those "fixit" shops were buying their parts from Apple? Apple only sells to authorize service persons, and they only sell to them because they have been trained in proper repair techniques.

Can someone figure out how to repair something with no training? Probably. But that won't cause Apple to sell them legitimate replacement parts.
