No one is being turned into a borg drone.

Yet.

I really do hope that this crap is handled better in EU. At least theoretically it should be.

AFAIK with Apple it is even part of the SoC, not even soldered.

Kudos for paying Spotify (as I do). I disagree on "if they give me shit service" part. If that happens, you have an option to either switch service or don't use any of them. IMO pirating is not an option. Also when pirating though P2P, you also distribute the content.

If you don't want to pay, then don't use it. Regardless of everything, music producers still need to live and pirating is a shit move to help them.

I don't think Qualcomm can outperform Apple at CPU game out of the blue. They were always trailing behind and Apple has now three generations of M CPUs behind. It'd be nice, though.

Edit: fixed stupid typo - can't outperform -> can outperform

It's almost like Israel is committing genocide, I'm shocked.

This is all because they failed to award Elmo with those billions. Quick, there is still time to save the company. /s

Let's declare any successful foreign country as enemy and either ban, or better, steal their products. True market.

OK, let me give you another analogy. US didn't "agree" with Sadam at certain point in time. Did they arm Iraq while not supporting Sadam? The point is, US is supporting Netanyahu with providing all the toys for his genocide. Saying that they don't support Netanyahu and at the same time providing all the support is funny.

Imagine the situation where US gives Palestinians a ton of weapons while not supporting Hamas.

Follow the money. And vetos in UN. And weapons flow. And turning a blind eye. You get the idea
