Comment all through the store but you pay tax's ? (Score 1, Insightful) 84

ok how about you stop optimizing your tax

keep your monopoly but you pay Tax and no more charging Apple AU variable rates to use your "brand" to avoid tax's etc

and you actually host rather than cache things in australia rather than sending all the locations and imessages of politicians and ADF to the USA

much love

Comment details matter (Score 2) 14

there is no details

just an announcement that they will be claiming against the insurance and that they could claim £100mn (pounds not dollars) means they did not have much insurance...

frankly americans routinely leak customer names, dates of birth, home and email addresses and phone numbers

whats actually worrying is household information, and online order histories

thats going to be hard to clean up and expose a LOT of people

Comment about that standard support... OpenTherm (Score 1, Informative) 39

their explanation was that support in EU was hard

translation : europe has a standard (opentherm) and the market for controlling old not standard is large but complicated and those with the standard do not want nest, the support costs in europe are large compared to USA so lets just abandon it

so now its up to european manufacturers to support opentherm and matter standards

what is really pathetic is they claimed support for opentherm but only in europe so americans are still in a simple ecosystem and nest can dominate with their "smart"

Comment DRM - Music industry and expats complain.... (Score 2) 24

DRM is there because the MUSIC industry wants it and wrote it into contracts

the BBC do not hold the rights to all music and video they want to broadcast they have to pay a license they recoup this cost by charging a license fee and by selling the productions they have to the commercial market

the UK cant keep funding expats and others who do not pay a license fee

I expect that expat community will be the most vocal but honestly they dont have a leg or anything else to stand on... they like the rest of the world can get their news from the world service and if they want to listen to BBC radio 4 go for it...

a geo block is remarkably effective it also reduces the amount of infrastructure costs therefore allowing more resources for the UK license payer
