Everyone will benefit, but have to imagine relatively few will buy tools to actually take advantage of it.

I knew there was a link between cell phones and cancer!!

People talk about Reddit and AI in terms of what Reddit will do for those LLMs. But I imagine another part of it has to be what they’ll do for Reddit. Like redditors volunteer sooo much information that it’s really an advertises dream if you can start to thread it together.

I’m starting to worry Lemmy users read the article at a lower rate than redditors.

Apple told the regulators that implementing the changes would mean it won’t be able to “meet the PLI targets,” minutes from the meeting state. PLI, India’s Production-Linked Incentive scheme, is a major project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, providing manufacturers with financial incentives for investments and incremental annual phone sales.

The use of USB-C in the iPhone 15 means Apple meets the criteria for the rules with its current-gen hardware. However, the bulk of its sales in India are based around older iPhone generations.

Apple says it can comply with a timeline for compliance by June 2025 if existing models are exempted from the rules. Otherwise, it would need another 18 months beyond 2024 if there isn’t an exemption.

I know this is more about switching from ICE to electric, but this is kinda hilarious

Feedback about the company’s new capacitive multifunction steering wheel was so overwhelmingly negative that last year, Schaffer promised to ditch the design. Meanwhile, much of the range—both electric and gas-powered—is saddled with temperature and volume controls that are touch-sensitive but not backlit, making them all but impossible to use at night.

The number is massive regardless, but this figure is speculation fyi

The Justice Department’s lead litigator Kenneth Dintzer, estimates Google’s ISA payments to be over $10 billion, and while the true figure remains confidential, the $18-$20 billion estimate assumes a new magnitude.

Are these shocked cell phone companies in the room with us? iPhone sale peaked like three years, Samsung probably close to then as well.

Nobody tells you making friends is hard.

The seattle freeze??? It’s like a major major trope, usually one of the first things people warn you about when moving to seattle.

At some point there is going to have to be legal action against Amazon. It’s obviously an issue, and they’re clearly complicit and operate their distribution centers in a way that facilitates this.

“These elite CEOs probably work 100-plus hours a week and they’re much more work-focused.”

No they don’t. Full stop. Let’s stop fabricating this bullshit. That’s 16hrs a day M-F with 10hrs Sat/Sun. Elon Musk is not doing those hours period, let alone while also finding time to play Elden Ring.

Cursory Google search says yes.

“These articles about cars running people over and cooking the planet are dumb because I can drive to the grocery store 10x faster than walking”

Just cause chatgpt can write some code for you doesn’t mean the bad parts aren’t true

Outside of mod tools pretty much no reason for them.

Next iPhone is pretty solidly confirmed to be USB-C, barring something drastic, which would spell the end for lightning, unless I’m forgetting something.

It’s not really the battery thickness that is the issue it’s the docking mechanism that has to be robust enough for real world usage.

Sooo I totally get the appeal, but I actually don’t want removable batteries. Like the everyday benefit of a thinner, more water/dust proof phone is much useful to me than the annoyance of having to take my phone in to get serviced once every three to four years.

EU is such a large market that it would likely force manufacturers to adopt the standards, since making two variations would be prohibitive cost wise.
