Ok, what do you call it when the government tells businesses what they must charge, how they must run their business, and how they are to handle their costs and risks? This isn't capitalism, thats for sure.

Hey grampa, take your meds and a nap. None of your "advice" has been valid for years, if not a decade. Most companies refuse resumes handed in person, they will tell you to apply on their site/job posting. The reason is they will filter it to see if it has a high enough score with their keyword list, and the other reason is for your sweet sweet private information. A lot of laws are being written that companies need your permission/have a business relationship with you for this behavior, and applying for a job checks that box.

Again I see. The US slides further into becoming a communist nation. "Walmart must eat the tariffs", now lenders must accept crypto. This really will be a wild 4 years.

And they can keep using their iPhones the same. That's the magical part about all of this, if they don't want to use the feature, they don't have to. No one is forcing them to have to install 3rd party apps, absolutely no one. They don't want to install 3rd party apps, then they don't. It's the same as on Android, yes you can, but in reality most don't. And no, companies aren't going to switch overnight and demand that everyone install their app from some sketchy 3rd party app store. This never happened on Android, it won't happen on iOS either.

The EU has already made this a requirement by 2027.

Let me guess, you’ve never encountered the wonders of a thing called glue?

When you only have one card left. It's a Mexican game.

How is this different from sampling in music, visual arts, or parody? The only difference I can see is that one relies more on machine input / control than the other. I get that, in a way, it's different, but from a legal perspective, terminology becomes crucial. In all these debates, it seems like the same definition for applied is sampling and parody, with just "with a computer" tacked on and I don't think that would hold up legally to stop it.

Apple is in the end a hardware company with a side in services, which isn't a good thing in today's tariff war landscape. This is causing Apple to have a murky outlook. While I don't think anyone is claiming Apple is go bankrupt and close up shop, they might be in for a rough future.

IBM was the biggest computer manufacturer until it wasn't, Sega was one of the biggest makers of gaming hardware (Genesis) until it wasn't. Blackberry was THE company for smartphones, until it wasn't. All of these companies still exist today but because they couldn't adapt fast enough, they are now a shell of themselves. I think this is the worry about Apple. Apple has tried for years to make more from services income, but aside from the App Store, they haven't done very well. And the App Store is heavily tied to their hardware, which leads back to the original issue.

As for their amounts of cash and investments, their investments haven't been rewarding. The Vision Pro is still considered a failure, the Apple Car was canceled, and Apple Intelligence hasn't been helping their bottom line either as it isn't holding up to it's promise. Besides those three, what else has Apple invested in and gotten their moneys worth in the last 5 years? The Apple Watch is 10 years old, the airpods are 9 years old, and they have the same issues as iPhones with their being physical devices that can be harmed with these tariff wars. Every major income source for Apple is affected by tariffs, and that will hurt it's future, in the near short term and possibly long term.

If it's because they don't build in the USA, then why limit this to just Apple? You could do the same to Microsoft and Google, both are American companies that don't build in the USA. (Samsung isn't American, so it's a different subject in this debate.)

Instead of always wanting to punish and threaten everyone with a stick, he should instead opt to use a carrot and offer incentives to build in the USA. Of course, Trump has been fighting that option with the CHIPS act, but I figured it was more because it's a Biden thing. But he could have just renamed it as something else to claim it as his own idea then.

Trump was just starting to tell companies like Walmart on what they should start charging (aka, "eat the tarrifs"). This is what communism does, tells companies what to charge.

Just because I don't personally open my car hood to tinker with the engine doesn't mean every car owner should be restricted to dealership garages for repairs.

But it is the same, and you know that. It's why you had to hide as a AC.

So, it'll be like normal and nothing wlll be different. It's like how Walmart sells Apple devices, all Apple products show Apple's website where they can also buy the device, and allow you to purchase things through the device without Walmart (the original seller) to get a portion of each sale.
