They are pushing but sadly that fine is only %0.1 of each companies annual revenue for that year alone. They can go as high as 10%.

So yes they are making headway but they are far from restoring some level of sanity between big corporations and society at large.

The fine represents %0.1 of Apple’s annual revenue for 2024. That’s right. That’s how little the fine is in the grand scheme of things. And they are STILL mad.

Also, the EU can go as high as 10%.

They’d both be graping each others mothers for the prize I’m sure…

Funnily enough, my old employer hired an HR rep… formerly from Nestle. Just, wow. Like the worst kind of human I’ve ever met. Man can these shitty companies spot “talent.”

I’m convinced to work for either, you need to film yourself eating the liver from a blind baby in your final interview.

Reason #56,789 of why Sony is on my permanent embargo list since 2002. They treat their customers like absolute shit. And they pay their bills.

If Sony is involved you know it’s straight sleaze. If there was an award for most evil company, they’d be leading.

Sony’s part of the fine was raised by a third for trying to obstruct the investigation by refusing to answer inquiries made by the EU officials and shredding of evidence during the multiple law-enforcement raids.

From their part in the videotape price fixing snafu back some 20 years. That’s how they roll.

Shitty company does more shitty things. Also, how does that get patented lol. Absolute fucking gong show of a country.

They only wanted a back door for regular citizens. The governments would always be secure.

So that tells you everything you need to know.

It’s still got to get it to the US. You can’t circumvent Tarrifs unless you buy the item outside the country and lie at the border.

Buying elsewhere means when it hits your local customs, you pay the increase there.

Don’t worry once all the kickbacks and bribes are in place the actual sum should come down considerably 🫠

There was a trial with a TV on the stand?? Link?

Too many mushrooms. It’s always the mushrooms.

I’m talking about whatever nomenclature people think will be used to put a fucking TV with a face on the stand so it can defend its right to liberty and the same protections afforded to it as we afford to us.

Never happen.

Call it whatever you want.

AI could never be considered a person because you have to be human for that to apply. Even if it was a human and we uploaded it, that still wouldn’t apply. You need a pulse. Or at the very least, your head.

Yes! The CG on Avatar took away jobs from real Navi that could have played the part. But they had to get them to look exactly like the human actors. Pathetic.

Thanks pal. Fuck just got a lick of a smoke in my eye. I’ll be ok just need a min.

This is basically tying every immobilizer or alarm to a car horn. Now all you hear is horns all fucking day and night because every car has one.

If I lived near one there is no way that road would exist for more than a week. Things like this should be banned, in perpetuity.

Whoever came up with the concept should not be allowed to make further decisions in life.

I keep forgetting it’s been irrelevant for over two decades

He just parrots bits and pieces of things other people have explained to him. His entire life is a lie thru and thru. I mean Tesla makes 99.9% of its profits from reselling carbon credits. He built a car company that can’t even make money from its cars.

He as fired from PayPal after 6 months with prejudice. His entire code needed to be gutted and essentially rewritten it was so bad.

He said there would be people living on Mars and built spaceships to get them there and in the 10 years since then, all they do is blow up.

He planned to build tunnels that would only let Teslas drive around lol.

He is poking electrodes in chimps claiming you will get superhuman powers and implanted people with the chips all of which showed the revolutionary skill of eye tracking, something Apple software has been able to do since 2021/22.

His starlinks are used mostly for political espionage and control by the rich oligarchs or oppressors.

He called a diver a pedo letting loose a legion of his sycophants because he criticized his insane idea to build a sub for a cave that could barely fit a person in choke points. In an other country. Where no one had asked him for help.

He faked being really good at a video game for internet points. Then people found out and laughed at him.

He did a Nazi salute.

I don’t know man. I can’t see anywhere at any time a smart person. All I see a little troll that conned the lot of you because most people know nothing about anything so stringing together some jargon seems legit.

Naw easiest thing in the world! Move aside rolls up sleeves

It’s one of those really myopic decisions that sink companies. But god bless em, they just keep trying lol

I may have used this line at work far before AI was a thing lol
