Again, they have a court approved document. As per the lawsuit filing:

Recognizing the value of Wiwynn’s custom-tailored solutions, on September 24, 2014, X Corp. entered into a Master Purchase Agreement with Wiwynn. For nearly eight years, X Corp. sourced and Wiwynn provided unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions for X Corp.’s data centers, based on forecasts provided by X Corp. The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers. To ensure that products could be manufactured on the strict timeline X Corp. required, X Corp. specifically gave written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the custom products being made for X Corp., and expressly assumed liability for the procurement costs.

And a master purchase agreement is a legally binding contract.

They have one, the contract signed in 2014. As is mentioned in the quote I shared.

When you read the article, it also points to another article that goes further into this case.

…in 2014 it contracted with Twitter to provide “unique, custom-designed IT infrastructure products including rack solutions.”…

Seems it was already approved in 2014 for such a long-term relationship in writing. It seems that Elon just didn’t want to pay for it even though Twitter was contractual bound to pay.

Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and then an HDMI cable would do that, but more things to add.

The regulation requires all phone makers to abandon proprietary Bluetooth coupling standards that may interfere with hearing aid compatibility. The FCC will require all handsets to ensure universal connectivity between smartphones and hearing aids, including over-the-counter devices like the recently approved Apple AirPods Pro 2.

I wonder how Apple will try to handle this, as we’ve seen with them and the EU app store business that they will take malicious compliance to the extreme to fight against having to lose any control over their devices.

It’s hooked to a Mac, so most likely on Thunderbolt which would allow it internet access with the video feed. So it’s possible they didn’t have a choice. (This isn’t limited to Mac though)

Present day. Present time.

No. It was a completely different product. It’s like trying to claim that an iPhone is an iMac because it has the “i” in the name and is made by the same company. Similar branding to help tie it together, but completely different devices.

The Kindle Fire was an Android tablet, not an e-reader. Completely different products.

I don’t understand what the point is with having an e-reader with a colour screen when the screen is so small. Anything I read that would benefit from a colour screen is either a PDF or a comic, and those suffer from tiny letters on a screen under 10 inches.

Or is there a lot of newer books that have images and such that aren’t PDF/CBR based?

A family of four can have serious issues with data caps.

So, if you are single, multiply your usage by four. Would you still be under your data cap?

With the rise of ARM, I don’t think they’d need to, since ARM gives enough competition.

That’s an amazing strawman argument you have there. But please, let’s stay on topic.

The topic was “Apple shares iCloud data with law enforcement, regardless of whether the iCloud data is encrypted or not”.

Sure, here is the legal document from Apple by Apple of what they share with law enforcement.

Included inside is:

III. Information Available from Apple A. Device Registration B. Customer Service Records C. Apple Media Services D. Apple Store Transactions E. Apple.com Orders F. Gift Cards G. Apple Cash H. Apple Pay I. Apple Pay Later J. Apple Card K. Savings L. iCloud M. Find My N. AirTag and Find My Network Accessory Program O. Extracting Data from Passcode Locked iOS Devices P. IP Address Request Q. Other Available Device Information R. Requests for Apple Store CCTV Data S. Game Center T. iOS Device Activation U. Connection Logs V. My Apple ID and iForgot Logs W. FaceTime X. iMessage Y. Apple TV app Z. Sign in with Apple AA. Apple Push Notification Service (APNs)

They’ve been doing it for data on device, not on iCloud (cloud data). They have full access to that.

Apple is still not offering governments a backdoor into encrypted content

You mean like they have to under the USA PRISM Act?
