Finally, a fine that isn't just "cost of business"
for apple it's cost of business
Business is done in percentages this is less than 2% of Apple
this is less than the cost of business, less than a $0.01 fine to a regular person
Some of the replies seem to have missed the difference between net worth and liquid assets. This freaked out the shareholders, which a big deal for Apple, everything else aside
@@nicholaschevy134Average redditors. 🤡
Fines being higher than the profit made should be the norm.
Then they'd increase their prices 10 times and next Mac would come with 2 GB RAM and 128 GB SSDs

@@KazrBrekkerthey can't because people wouldn't buy them. There is a limit to how much people are willing to pay for an apple product.

The description for Certo sounds exactly like malware trying really hard to not sound like malware.
Yeah as an iOS developer, what they're claiming seems impossible to me. You can't even jailbreak the newer OS atm. Writing a hack for it, and then have it detected by Certo sounds like complete bullshit. You'd think a tech channel would know this...
@@GetSwifty well if it was intended to be possible it wouldn't be a very good security breach would it?
@@GetSwifty You'd also hope that a tech channel would read the report it's quoting. Kaspersky did indeed claim a 50% rise in attacks on mobile devices, but if you read the report it only talks about malware on Android, they don't mention a single instance of iOS malware as far as I can see. So we have a product that reeks of bullshit sold on the back of obvious fear mongering,
Seriously, $2 billion is a LOT of money for any company, just like none of us want to drop $1,000 on the sidewalk. I work at a fortune 1000 company and we still use MS Office 2010 because the company doesn't want to pay for the upgrade. Anyone who's dealt with the budgets knows how there's never enough money for everything. A trillion dollar company doesn't have a trillion dollars in the bank just like a $30,000 car doesn't have $30,000 cash in the glove box. Apple is not brushing this off, they're coping hard.
Bro any teen with kali Linux can hack you guys. Upgrade or use open office
Was using Office 2003 for years until the wife had a file from her work that it wouldn't open up. Even with all of the patches from MS. Installed her Open Office on her PC instead.
@@ReverseCity777 Oh dude everything runs on Windows 10 if you're lucky, some computers still run on 7 or even Vista. The need for legacy support has totally sandbagged the cybersecurity, along with Windows-only software making Linux impossible. You see exactly why companies get pwned so easily, it's a duct-tape and bungee cord disaster
@@ReverseCity777Btw we can't install anything on the work computers, so what you have is what you got. I use Overleaf in the browser to write stuff in LaTeX instead of fighting with MS Word 2010
Wouldn't surprise me if they announced layoffs and made the next iphone cost an extra dollar to foot the cost than actually change though. It's not like the shareholders or the executives are gonna feel it at all lol

I laughed more than I should have at the “spy, where?” Joke 😂
Same. It was real clever.
I can't believe Im hoping that Facebook tells the Australian government to F-off no "news" on social media is a good thing
The rule was put in place by our previous government, that was getting a lot of money from news conglomerates. So they were basically just appeasing they're donors by securing them money from Facebook. It was a dumb idea lol.
@@lil.dogbyte Facebook pays the media companies to access/data scrape their websites.
They're getting rid of the news tab and are now saying that they won't pay. The Aus government doesn't really care - but they'll probably have something to say if they pull meta data and display it in the general feed.
EU is our last hope at standing up to these Dracula-ass companies
The eu should get Spotify to pay artists the same per stream as Apple Pay’s. That’s putting more into the struggling artists pocket.
@@RockG.o.dWhile Apple Music probably pays more than spotify, beacause they can make it not profitable at all (it's all about selling you that sweet apple one subscription), Spotify already only takes 30% from your subscription and 70% goes to royalties. It's not Spotify, but record labels/publishers that screw artists. Subscription price would have to rise even more.
@@Lego_Fish and Apple only takes 30% from subscriptions purchased through the App Store. So what’s the problem? Spotify have been screwing artists for years. CZcams have been screwing artists more though. Maybe regulate the platforms so they all pay the fair share. I think a 90/10 split is more than fair and overdue. Artists are struggling worse than Spotify with the “hefty” 30% Apple tax. Apple also has a big platform of users it brings.
@@RockG.o.d they are paying fair share , exactly what artists ask
If they don't like it they can fo elsewhere, Spotify isn't the only app out there
@@RockG.o.dIf artists believe that Spotify uses a monopoly power to pay them less they can make a complaint with the EU and it will be investigated.
That said, unlike Spotify, Apple does not need to pay 30% of their profits on subscriptions through the App Store to someone else while Spotify need to pay this to Apple and can't even suggest other payment options for their users and that's their only business so they cannot subsidies it through other means.
God I wish the US could do something even remotely similar to the EU to the companies here, rather than just letting companies be fair in Europe and still scummy in the US
What you mean? America living 50 years in the past is the norm

"you eat them with your ears" is gold
This is 2.01% of Apples net income for all of 2023!
It’s also big enough that it’s upset share holders, so I believe it will have an impact.
Apple shares will recover. They have been on a slow decline since Xmas 23.
@@RockG.o.d yes, they will recover, but it will hurt a little bit. Much better than having them pay few milions which they will just look over and don't care. This is way of showing that not complying with certain laws can make you to pay hefty price. Not only signal for Apple, but all companies.
@@RockG.o.d Shareholders are generally not amused if you preventably burn their money.
@@MilitantPacifista lol, "their money".
@@castform57 Let me guess, you don't understand that shareholders lose money when share prices drop?
Need more of Jessica's writing in LTT's videos. Bloody hilarious.

@@Jadae He's right you know, up the bum it goes!
Satelite SOS sounds SOOO much like Trauma subscription in Cyberpunk
Papermaster cracked me up!
Apple arguing that they didn't harm the consumers and therefore shouldn't be punished is the weakest defense I've ever seen from a big company. That's like saying "Yeah I burned down the town, but nobody was home so did I really do anything wrong?"
I want eBay to allow me to tell customers they can purchase the product on my website.
@@RockG.o.d difference being Ebay isn't a monopoly. The app store is designed from the ground up to have a monopoly on ios devices.
Imagine if Microsoft prevented you from buying and installing any software from outside of the Microsoft app store. No Steam, no downloading programs from your browser, no subscriptions that isn't run through Microsoft first. That's what Apple specifically designed and created with ios.
Yeah lmao, like nowhere in the law that this is about does it say that you NEED to harm your consumers to be in breach of it. The worst thing is that the iSheep will gobble it down and demonize the EU like it's the second coming of Satan.
spotify complaining about unfair practices is hilarious to me, spotify itself is one of the most IF NOT THE MOST ABUSIVE music streaming platform
it is
Spotify pay artists half as much as Apple per stream.
and yet they still can't turn a decent profit. Also, I would consider you look at the shareholders of spotify before you buy the bullshit the labels are claiming. You know owners like Warner Music Group, Sony and Universal Music. Artists under those record labels are going to get terrible contracts because the labels are going to undersell the rights to themselves basically. And the competition is going to get bad rates because they're the competition. Either way the fault really lies with the record labels and many artists should frankly consider not signing up with the big names these days
Never used it😂
@@RockG.o.d probably because spotify has way more streams that they have to pay for compared to apple music's much smaller user base, not to mention how much spare money apple has to throw around compared to most other businesses. still fuck all streaming platforms tho we need to return to buying albums and singles
7:33 if that was a Wilbur joke it was funny but also too soon. Keep that up
I thought the same, but idk it might a reach
So glad that suing Apple is trendy now
It's only trendy in Europe... not in the US
@@MallocFree90US hasnt sued a company for unfair practices since Clinton.
Bush set a precedent that "Companies can do no harm, if consumers are buying their stuff without bodily harm".
We're still waiting for a 4-5 times bigger lawsuit that would destroy Microsoft. That would make the world a better place to live.
@@edenrose2374 It's within US government interest to allow American corporations free reign, It helps bolster the economy.. Capitalism is what runs the eagle engine. This can be said for any engine tho, But at least in Europe the focus is more on a fair playing field of an economy rather than a handful of companies bleeding everyone to death lol

Ezcited for AMD's AI FSR
what happend to performance if CPU has no hyper threading?
depends on the application and the number of cores the cpu has. A dual core processor would be significantly faster with hypperthreading enabled. However, if you have a CPU with more than 8 cores, disabling hyperthreading could actually improve performance in games.

is that a fallout new vegas reference?

How does someone get spyware on an iphone thou? I thought cause their sandbox architecture that it avoiding that from happening since nothing can escape the app its originating from or something?
Ya idk what to think about that ad lol
@@LegoJJ definately strange that one of the largest defence mechanism on an iPhone is apparently this spywares advantage to get through it. Idk seems weird to me too. Idk how u can get spyware when nothing can break through that same sandbox this antivirus needs a whole other pc to use to break through.
That whole advert was nonsense. They claim that cyber attacks on mobile devices are up by 52%, which references a report by Kaspersky that talks a lot about malware on Android, but says nothing about malware on iOS. They also fail to mention that the sandbox that restricts other iOS security apps also restricts their app in the same way, if they had somehow found an exploit to escape the sandbox then Apple would have removed their app from the App Store long ago. Most security apps on iOS are a bit of a scam, to be honest unless you've pissed off a nation state, then you probably don't have to worry about your iPhone being compromised.
That is amazing!
5:44 😂
I like the thought of Chinese officials watching the Terminator and thinking...this is a great idea. why have we not implemented this yet
At this point I think it's best to start a new video series just for apple getting fined 😂
wait is Arrow Lake rumored to have e-cores or no e-cores?
In space, no one can hear.... your alarm
That's ironic, Facebook says Google is to restrictive. lol
Wasn’t Mark Papermaster at IBM and/or Apple back in the day? I swear I’ve heard that name before.
Edit: Yep. No wonder the name is familiar. It was at IBM for a long while, Apple for a couple of years, then Cisco before finally landing at AMD. Apparently he was central to a lawsuit regarding non-compete contracts when he moved from IBM to Apple, which hit the news cycle.
Ai for retro games seems huge to me If it can learn how to make it look like an actual crt on various modern displays. I think ai thumbnails for old games could be fun too if it can keep the og boxart esthetic. Lastly theres a lot of asia specific titles without any real or accurate translations
The problem with translations of old games is finding the right addresses and changing the assembly code around to support the new font and everything. Many translations from the 90s and 00s done with rudimentary tools are straight up broken, you change the font and text around and all kinds of bugs pop up, like the old Front Mission 2 translation for example.
Could AI deal with that? Maybe, idk, but I know for a fact the actual translation of the text is not the biggest hurdle.
@@steel5897wouldn't it be possible to just overlay the new text over the old?
Don't change anything of the game, just have another program (the emulator?) do that.
@@steel5897 I was thinking of using a type of vision ai that takes what the game should look like and overlays the text. Instead of it directly touching each individual games code. It would need to learn how to read the different fonts and not cover up the gameplay. It could even be a separate device that plugs into the video port
You are absolutely right and it's why I don't think it's been done before very well. It would need to be like Google lens copying text from an image and overlaying only the text to avoid compatibility issues across different games. This way it would be able to work as an adapter too so people don't need to touch their old consoles software.
Intel, confusing customers since 1968.
"some people like the biting" ok, more of that guy saying things, please.
"Sound an alarm...in space"
Space...where no one can hear you scream......but your alarm can still wake you up just in time for your minimum wage job.
Yes, i know that the moon technically has an incredibly thin layer of atmosphere that Might allow sound. But still.....wouldnt any moon spies would also be wearing a spacesuit?
tbh, the way the vaguely worded everything, makes it sound like they are not monitoring the moon, but earth... but still, its a automated facility with a manned defense crew.

The whole charging Facebook for news thing never made sense to me. Why should Meta have to pay publishers to drive readers to their own websites?
In any case, with the state of Australia's monopolistic media landscape it's a good thing that less of it will be shown to people, Newscorp has already done enough damage.
You failed the mission.

The only better thing from this Apple fine that could come is if they determen during appeal that it should be more.
4:04 missed a golden opportunity of saying "fake news"
If typical on-phone spy ware detection tools can't get into certain areas of iPhone because of how locked down it is, how can the spyware get there?
For iPhone specifically? Because malware doesn't care about adhering to Apple's TOS to do business.
Remember the Netflix show Spaceforce? China is foreshadowing it
The iCloud is the most annoying , cannot use my Google drive to backup my iphone etc…
3% of the what people see on Facebook is news, the other 97% is fake news 😂
Tim Cook is always cooking something in secret.
I just started reading 1984 and I now realize that it is literally just describing China.
fines should be a percentage of company value, and that percentage changes based on how bad they think the crime was that earned the fine.
