Just finished disassembling a late-Intel-era Macbook Pro to remove the spicy pillows from it, and I gotta say, I am not impressed with Apple's hardware engineering on it.
I'm not talking about them gluing the cells of the battery to the case - that's been discussed to death, and was unnecessary […]
5-If U don't believe me then Google.com it & while UR @ it ask Google all about humanity oh wait most of U make badass decisions W/ Democracy but still vote wrong W/ UR wallets backwards W/ #AppleTax that's 💯 of the oligarchy now I know that Samsung is 🍆🍩 Google but they have their own AI future😱
iOS and iPadOS v26 are so fast that I wish I knew somebody that would care.

Y Combinator challenges Apple's 30% App Store fee, calling it an Apple Tax that stifles startup growth. Legal battle continues with oral arguments set for October 21. #AppStore #AppleTax #Startups Link: thedailytechfeed.com/y-combinator...
💸 Apple paga los 16.500 millones de dólares pendientes a Irlanda tras 9 años de batalla legal, y el gobierno usará ese dinero para proyectos de electricidad y agua. Inversión histórica en infraestructuras con sabor a Cupertino.

A big point of contention: Apple's high storage upgrade costs. Users weigh the 'Apple tax' vs. DIY savings. Some find paying Apple worth the saved effort, others see exploitation. #AppleTax 4/5
How much is this #Apple mitigating how completely #Epic destroyed their juicy 30% #AppleTax in the courts?

For me it is quite obvious they knew the chance they where going to lose was high. This "debut" has been cooking […]

⚖️ How Apple’s App Store Empire Got a Crack – The Epic Aftermath
A win for devs? Maybe. But the war’s far from over. 🍎💥 #AppStoreWars #EpicVsApple #Antitrust #TechPolicy #DigitalMarkets #AppleTax #Hamas #Israel #Norm #CanadaPost #GeorgeWendt #GoldenDome #Leafs #Gaza

How bad is #AppleTax?
Apple takes a 30% cut from digital purchases. How much markup do the developers have to set the price?
30%? WRONG!
It's almost 43% (42.857...%)
Let's do some math:
$100 value, $130 charged, Apple takes $39, devs get $91<$100.
$142.86 charged, Apple takes $42.86, devs get $100
So, That Apple Tax Thing That’s Dead Now… What Was It, Again?

A funny flowchart explaining how to fix computers based on OS: Windows suggests rebooting or reinstalling, Apple suggests visiting the store or buying a new Mac, while Linux involves recompiling the kernel, switching distros, and growing a beard before giving up.
The ultimate guide to fixing computers…

Children's Rights Alliance and Community Foundation Ireland are partnering on an event today, called on the Government to invest some of the #Appletax money in children and young people. The Government is currently planning how to spend the billions from the Apple Tax case.
Shocking lack of commercial foresight by Babbage. Completely missed the opportuntiy to charge 30% fees to app developers wanting to side-load apps onto it. #AppleTax #RentExtraction #AppleTax #RentExtrqction #RentExtraction
We need to use the #AppleTax money to resolve the housing crisis. A State Construction company could build the social and actually affordable housing that we need, as well as retrofitting people's homes to bring bills down, tackle our emissions, and make people more comfortable. #SpéirGhorm
“if Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had their way, the state and Irish taxpayers would be down over €13bn.
“You could not make this up. The parties of government, who lecture fiscal prudence, sought to obstruct more than €13bn that the state was due”

Today, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that Apple must pay €13,000,000,000 (€13bn) in unpaid taxes to the Dublin government - much to the disappointment of the latter. #AppleTax 🧵
Ireland's "win" against #AppleTax is akin to an older grandchild awkwardly refusing money from a grandparent.
Yes, I get that's the "correct" decision. I don't need to be reminded. However, doesn't it just not feel right?...
Sooo... Apple made a an Amazon Echo/Google Home that costs ~2-3x as much? Hard to see why aside from the traditional #AppleTax
