Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple’s $2 BILLION Dollar Fine”.
Today’S Tech news is extra premium, so it’s sponsored by serto software that helps detex threats on iPhones, we’ll have more to say about them later, but until then speaking of iPhones and premiums Apple just got fined 1.8 billion EUR or almost $ 2 billion by the EU. After Spotify complained about the company’s anti-competitive, App Store practices, ah apple and anti-competition, a love story for the ages, while that might not sound like a lot for a multi-trillion dollar company, the find is almost four times larger than expected and actually caused Apple to lose $ 80 billion in market value, the fine was levied after the European commission discovered that Apple bans, music, streaming app developers from telling iOS users about cheaper subscription Services outside their apps and also bans them from providing any instructions on how to subscribe. To said, cheaper options, these shocking facts were uncovered by an exhaustive investigation lasting hundreds of seconds. It probably costs a lot, though. These practices undertaken by Apple are illegal under EU law.
They have such good laws there, and the block has ordered the company to stop it. Now, unsurprisingly, Spotify is happy with the decision, while Apple pretty miffed Tim Cook and and the boys Tim Cook and the boys Tim Cook and the boys they. They say that they plan to appeal the ruling, claiming that the commission failed to uncover any credible evidence of consumer harm. I mean people, love, love, being overcharged, isn’t that why they buy iPhones Intel is shaking things up with their upcoming aerol Lake processors, at least that’s aord reports from a reputable Chinese leaker Golden Pig upgrade, which is also the title of a movie cataloging. My glow up through college in a post on Billy Billy translated by video cards, the leaker claimed that AOL lake is highly unlikely to be named 15th gen and will instead be core Ultra processor Series.
2. According to wccf Tech, this means Intel’s, 14th gen Raptor Lake CPUs will be the last lineup to use separate naming schemes for desktop and mobile processors. Furthermore, Golden Pig States, AOL Lake will ditch low power, ecores and hyperthreading, and will only feature up to four x e cores, Z, cores half the amount of XE cor’s meteor Lake God even more shocking, despite Intel hyping up their 20 Ang from process. The leaks suggest that most of aerol Lake will use tsmc nodes, apparently only mid-range AOL, Lake processors with six pees and eight e cores will actually use Intel’s 20a, but it’s unclear if that’s just for mobile CPUs or for desktop skes as well. This is, of course, all unverified, so we’ll have to wait and see when AOL leag actually launches, but these allegations could still affect Intel. Ceo, Pat Ginger’s chances of being named. This year’s sexiest Pat Ginger Alive by People magazine he’s in contention.
Meta has decided to stop paying Australian news Publishers after the company’s current deal. Exp fires meta signed agreements in 2021, after the country’s news media bargaining code took effect. The legislation allows the government to designate digital platforms like Facebook, as subject to certain obligations. If it is determined that there is a significant bargaining power, IM balance between said platforms and Aussie news businesses, so far, no platforms have been designated due to agreements like the one meta has decided to end.
But after meta announced their decision last week, while also stating that they would be deprecating, Facebook’s dedicated news tab in Australia and the US, the Australian government is looking to take action against the check giant. For its part, meta claims that this decision was made to better align their Investments with their services that people value the most claiming the use of Facebook, news in Australia and the US had dropped by 80 % in the last year. Meta has also claimed that news makes up less than 3 % of what people see in their Facebook feed, but the Aussie government has fought back against that statistics. They say the company has deprioritized news content.
Personally, I agree the reason. Only 3 % of what you see on Facebook is news is because 17 % of what you see are angry posts from older relatives and 80 % are ads. Now it’s time for the quick bits brought to you by CTO, one of the most common threats to mobile devices is spyware, which is notoriously difficult to spot.
It’S right in the name, spy where we don’t know. In fact, cyber attacks on mobile devices surge by 52 % in 2023 traditional iPhone security apps, are great, but due to Apple’s sandbox restrictions, they can’t access areas of the device where spyware, typically hides. That’S where serto anti-spy comes in. All you’ll need to do to perform a deep dive. Scan of your iPhone is plugged into a computer and click scan on their desktop app, which allows serto to detect more threats than a traditional on device Security app after a few minutes. If there are any threats detected, simply tap the remove button and voila she gone want that protection to feel even better get it for Less click, the link below and get 20 % off serto. Today, quick bits are like a box of chocolates. If that box only fit five chocolates and the chocolates were actually small news stories, you eat them with your ears, apple is facing a class action lawsuit over alleged anti-competitive behavior in the cloud storage Market. This time, a complaint filed in California accuses the company of restricting certain Apple device file types to only back up to iCloud things like app data and device settings. The filing alleges. This allows Apple to stifle competition and infl prices, making iCloud one of the company’s most profitable products. The lead, plaintiff’s representation, the haens Burman Law Firm, has brought multiple class actions against Apple in the past, including the 2011 lawsuit over price fixing in the Apple Books app. It it makes sense if there’s anyone that knows something about overcharging.
It’S a lawyer, amd’s CTO has teased AI powered FSR in an interview with YouTube channel, no priors lot of letters in there, but what? Whatever? During the conversation, the AMD executive and master of paper Mark paper Master said we’re, enabling our gaming devices to upscale using Ai and 2024 is really a huge deployment year for us. At this point, we aren’t sure if this AI upscaling will be limited to new hardware. Like what Nvidia does or if it’ll be more accessible for older cards, all we know for sure is that Mark paper Master possesses at least 1,000 origami cranes, and they do his bidding. Google seems to be planning to add a satellite SOS feure to pixel phones, based on an update for the Adaptive connectivity Services apps.
According to Google news on telegram, the feature sounds very similar to iPhone’s emergency SOS via satellite functionality. Unlike Apple’s version, though, satellite SOS teases, a partnership with Garmin based on screenshots users, will be able to purchase Garmin search and rescue Insurance cool. I mean the last thing you want to be worrying about, while you’re fighting for your life after falling off a cliff is if you can even afford to get your arm. Reattached thanks.
Garmin Google has reportedly approached meta to partner on his in development Android XR platform. Only to find themselves coldly rejected, which is basically like getting turned down for prom by that weird kid who bites. According to meta, CTO, Andrew Bosworth, affectionately known as boss, who confirmed the story, Mena, would love to work with Google to create a cohesive, VR ecosystem. It’S just that Google’s terms are just too restrictive.
Meta Quest already uses an Android Fork as its OS, but they probably prefer to make their platform the standard, rather than submit to Google’s demands. Demands like go to prom with me and stop biting some people like the biting and China has plans to expand its already massive video surveillance Network, casually known as Skynet to the Moon as security for the unmanned research station. The country plans to start building in 2028. The system will reportedly monitor both infrared and visible light spectrum using 3 and 1/2 oun cameras equipped with AI chips, capable of identifying, locating tracking and aiming at suspicious targets independently. If the system detects abnormalities, it will sound an alarm and initiate appropriate response measures like sending a high-tech cyborg assassin back in time to kill the mother of the human resistance leader to prevent him from ever being born. This could be a movie and a new episode of TechLink will be born on Wednesday. I can promise you it’ll be lightning and semi- trucks getting chopped in half, but you better watch it anyway, or else will find you .
