    It is called a rubber o-ring.

    That’s how other companies have been making water-tight compartments for batteries and other things for literally decades now. But all of a sudden, Apple wants to pretend this is some unsolvable problem. For fucks sakes stop acting like this is some insane ask, goddamn it.

    No other government body is as consumer-friendly as the EU, so I really hope this bill passes and forces Apple to comply. I am so sick of the bullshit from these megacorporations who are so big they just don’t give a flying fuck about what consumers want. And on the flipside, there are going to be a million Apple apologists who will side with Apple on this topic. Those bootlickers only make things worse for everyone.

      Just wait, Apple will solve this with a rubber o-ring and will receive heaps of praise for their innovation.

        You mean magic rings?! Or maybe they’ll be called i-rings.

        They’ll come up with some stupid ass name like that to make it seem like it is a proprietary thing. Man, I hate that company so much.

            I still feel like building an open source os form the code is more secure then believing what a company tells me

              Yeah, people like to say that. “But the source is open!”

              When was the last time you actually read any source of any program you use regularly? Do you just assume other people do so?

              They don’t. Just look at the amount of bug reports on any large scale project. That’s all unintentional errors someone missed.

              How many intentionally obscured errors are out there?

              The only true response is to trust literally nobody except those that have some level of massive fuckoff financial responsibility not to screw you over. And also don’t trust them either. Trust them less, actually.
