I wonder how much those good ol’ military bunker high security padlocks cost.

“Preventing and prosecuting robbery is a private matter” is a take, I guess. So you’re recommending they load up on armed guards since it’s not a government problem?

The train companies have consistently complained that, even when they do catch a suspect, they get out with no bail the next day.

I’m surprised by how many journalists from big papers like the New York Times and the Washington Post will research and publish articles that conclude awful things about Twitter (increase in hashtags containing the n-word, etc.) but then they conclude their piece with their same old signature, “Follow me on Twitter!”…

WSJ story about this from two years ago. Newsom showed up, picked up some boxes, pledged more money for policing the issue, and that was that.

It also asserts that the next generation of CarPlay will take “over all of the screens, sensors, and gauges in a car, forcing users to experience driving as an iPhone-centric experience if they want to use any of the features provided by CarPlay.”

Capabilities are irrelevant to almost everyone since they’ll never come close to those limits.

Great point. I agree completely. It also points to the political nature of the case. It’s an election year and you can be assured the Congress people who leaned on the DOJ to do this will be trying to campaign on how they did this to help protect the little the people from big tech. The truth is they refuse to do…

Apple is adopting RCS, just not the propritary fork Google likes to think they invented. https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/16/apple-rcs-coming-to-iphone/

Didn’t GM say it was going to stop including CarPlay in the future in favor of their own service (probably subscription based)?

Better yet, what happened to being able to install your own audio equipment.

How on earth are they trying to argue carplay is anticompetitive, but not the automotive infotainment systems themselves? Why aren’t automakers forced to allow us to install whatever software we want on our infotainment systems?

This part of the DOJs case is absolute garbage. It is so fundamentally wrong it makes the rest questionable as well.

The entire suit is weaksace, but this is absolutely asinine.

So, Spanfucker strikes again. I still have no idea what that piece of shit gets out of gutting everything and turn it all into trash bin of low-effort clickbait, slideshows, auto-play video ads, banners, banners, banners, etc.

Good thing too, over the last few years Kotaku has become something of an embarrassment.

Posting here for reasons about to become obvious:

It put Ogdenville, Raccoon City, New Haverbrooke, Atlantis and Rapture on the map!

They obviously should have told everyone it was for a monorail 

“U.S. automakers lose roughly $6,000 on every $50,000 EV they sell in America,”
