Does it matter that Apple does the same?

> In comparison to MacBooks ...

I can buy 3rd party: RAM, SSD, WI-FI,random Expansion cards from the marketplace. I can open and clean and change thermal paste, etc. I've heard the display can be bought from alibaba, etc.

I can't even open my Mac.

I dump AI output in PRs, because it ads context for the AI reviewer.

The OAuth or the usage cut?

All of that plus all the privacy and user data stuff that as an app developer I may chose not to deal with.

"I am not touching your data, you are using OpenRouter and whatever provider, I am getting a small cut from your usage."

Not sure why this does not exist yet.

I am using oauth already. Thanks. I really need the second part.

If someone from Stripe / OpenRouter is listening, please let me provide Open Router OAuth to my users and let me take a cut of their usage. Apple takes 30, I would take whatever the users are willing to pay. 5 to 15 is reasonable.

Started using them like 2 weeks back, happy to see how they work.

Wondering where and who plugs in monetization here (for example with the new Cloudflare AI Wallets thing)?

There are two things here:

Allowing Siri competitors. EU is 100% right to demand from Apple to give the same data that Siri has to any other app (competitor) that the user chooses to install, trusts and has granted access. The grant should be the gate keeper, not Apple.

User privacy, data retention, pii, etc - I am not 100% sure here - if you send user data somewhere to a LLM, it gets very complicated, very fast, and probably the rules should be revisited / simplified / relaxed.

I've used Windows since 3.11 and I am using macOS for 5+ years now for work (requirement).

Switched to Linux on my personal devices 2 years ago and using Ubuntu and PopOS! on two different laptops. I've had very small number of issues. Can't understand people moving to Mac - it is the same messed half backed OS as both Windows and Linux (flavors). With the llms these days, any linux issue is fixable within minutes.

With Linux at least I don't have to worry about privacy.

Why the f this was downvoted? Literally from the article:

> Tesla has indicated it will appeal the verdict to a higher court.

With OpenClaw we are seeing how the app layer becomes as important as the model layer.

You can switch models multiple times (online/proprietary, open weight, local), but you have one UI : OpenClaw.

Really hoped you'd say Linux next.

> For example, in the UK sophisticated gangs steal cars and phones and ship them around the world where they're resold.

This does not happen almost anywhere else - car theft. This is UK issue with local law enforcement / insurance companies.

Phones - just fix your streets, elect politicians that are tough on crime. Simple.

"No deal has been signed" per Elon Musk's post on X just now.

Wait, the music mafia industry is finally getting out-mafia-ed?

There is a friendly warning here from Groq: https://wow.groq.com/hey-elon-its-time-to-cease-de-grok/

> Which is the only valuable thing Twitter (X) has left. reply

They have a very valuable user base (all kinds of world leaders for example), so the data is not the only valuable thing they have.

I have not played Fortnite in years, but I am buying the new battle pass.

When they announced usernames I thought I will be able to install Signal on my TV desktop (linux) and send / receive messages from to it (links, files, etc).

Now that I know it still needs phone number I assume it will need to be unique so my use case fails.

For the record, I am still a happy Signal user and a monthly supporter, thank you very much.

If it is going to be an "everything app", that also includes banking thus the KYC. I presume this is related to financial services, banking, etc.

I guess the Q that bothers me the most is who has access to my activity, when it was accessed and why.

> I can't really outsource much of my support work because it is so technical and specialized.

Yeah, I had a Sidekiq question on StackOverflow and Mike Perham answered himself couple of days later.

Never buying a Sony device ever again. Got one 4,5 years back (3rd one for last 10 years). It had Google TV and I could not pass a screen and use the TV unless I agree a stupid EULA. Had to take it, because ... family, but they made me feel soo stupid.

Pair this with a horrible PS support and Sony is banned for life for me.

Hmm, I just gave it a try with https://fingerprint.com/ and each time I restarted the browser it says it is my first visit. This is really a nice surprise, as fingerprint.com tends to always recognize your previous visits.

FB open source algo looks much better, right? /s

It is weird that you mention Elon Musk, but not Apple and Google, for example. These last two also push their employees to come back to the office, especially Apple. Every two months there is an article about Apple trying to bring everyone back working from an office.

I think you should do what you told them you would do anyway - posting on each and every social network.
