  1. I think the idea is that with their monopoly in software (which a Congressional report accused Apple of maintaining), they wall consumers into their garden, essentially monopolizing the smartphone market.
  2. Summary It is happening. According to the AP, the Department of Justice in the US is accusing Apple of having a monopoly over smartphones in the US Quotes My thoughts I never thought the iPhone would be accused of being a monopoly, but thinking about it quickly as I write this, I can see why. The ecosystem (iMessage) has taken over market share among youngsters (me), and Apple essentially has customers for life. I am curious to see how this plays out. I will add more articles and sources as the news plays out. Sources AP The Verge Lawsuit
  3. Answer to the title: No. Nothing more needs to be said.
  4. From what I've read, I belive they want a seat on the board. But this whole thing has been so chaotic, I don't know what's what anymore.
  5. About that picture... Here's a lengthy but valuable article about how Sam Altman's Worldcoin seems to be exploiting the poorest of the world. Worthy of a read, even if it's pretty long.
  6. Summary After a review by the Board of Directors, Sam Altman has been fired as the CEO of OpenAI. Quotes My thoughts Well, I was certainly not expecting this to happen. I'm extremely curious about the specifics, but we'll probably never know. Also, what do you guys think the impact of this will be? One could argue that it might not be significant, but sometimes the CEOs of bleeding edge companies (my way of saying companies on the bleeding edge of tech development) have strong visions, and when they go, it all comes tumbling down. OpenAI seems to have a strong structure in place, but you never know. Curious as well how the new CEO will do. This is a developing story, so I'll keep adding details and sources as they come.

  7. I don't think it is a deliberate decision, they have mentioned that there are many immigration issues considering he is a US citizen and they are located in BC. Heck, Jon (TechQuikie writer) works from NC now.
  8. Doesn't GN touch on the community defense at like the very beginning of the video? lol
  9. For the large majority, GN is correct. The thing that sticks out to me has been the extremely large increase in * corrections. * this and * that. They need to let their foot off the gas a little. They're moving too fast and breaking things too quickly, catch my drift? However, in my personal opinion, part of the video, in regard to sponsorship, seemed a bit more personally driven, rather than fact-based. But besides that, LTT needs to ensure accurate data. I will 100% back that. Hopefully, Linus and LTT will take a moment to reflect before rushing to any statements or any off-handed remarks on the WAN show on Friday.
  10. I'm right random YouTube chatter.

  11. There is, and it was at first until Linus overruled that and had it turned back on. He explained it on the WAN show on July 7th.
  12. Has anyone had any experience in integrating Stripe Identity into their Wordpress site? Or if that’s even possible lol And if they have could I have some help with it. I’m trying to implement identity verification when I have a member register for an account. I’m trying to use the redirect method when using their docs, but I seem to have issues when implementing the API calls. Additional context: this is for my personal hobby website, so all this effort is probably pointless/a complete and utter waste of time, but I want to have some fun and try. Thanks for any feedback/answers.
  13. Linus doesn't even want to make one, he's said it on the WAN show before. I don't even think they trust themselves lol
  14. Well, there you go. Weak, I know it was supposed only to last 48 hours, but still. Based on all the news, I was under the impression it was still going.
  15. What I see: Reddit doing what they want with their platform. But honestly, day by day, the more I see, the more I support Reddit. Consumers are weak, this boycott won't last long. Those who are vocal are almost always in the extreme minority.
  16. I found out the instant it came out via sheer luck while browsing the internet and stumbling upon the business newswire as soon as it came out lol
  17. I'm just worried that I will have to pay more. Which I really don't want to do.
  18. well now im sweating like crazy here with my gigabyte motherboard. edit: my model isn't on the list thank god
  19. Could it be that you were gifted one during the WAN show? That is definitely a possibility.
  20. agghhhhhhhhhhhh come onnnnnnnnn I'm upset now like a small child. @Spottyi take it all back.
  21. ig lol but i cant find font settings now
  22. oh no way thank you spotty best mod out there
