doesn’t he use an iphone?
Tizen in the corner: “Pick me, pick me 🥺”
Even Samsung have practically given up on Tizen. In smartwatches, the plug has been pulled, and for smart TVs, it’s not updated anymore, because they probably realized that it’s a waste of effort
Is that even a battle worth fighting at this point?
I think they all know the safest option is to leverage Android’s ecosystem and add your own extras to it. Starting from scratch is like 90% chance of wasting lots of money and have no profit at all.
That’s why these massive projects aren’t usually started by companies, but by passionate individuals or orgs. They require a different incentive than the next quarter earnings.
Starting from scratch is a worthwhile investment, if you can carry it to completion. Samsung never do this, so it was a waste of time from the start. Admittedly, their Tizen watches were leaps ahead in performance, compared to the Android alternatives, but they completely gave up on attempting to improve any of them
What do their TVs run on now if they aren’t updating Tizen anymore?
He is banning his employees from using them at work.
Musk has tantrum. Just another day ending in y.
But every day ends wi… oh. OH.
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
I’d be very surprised if corporates wouldn’t just be able to disable it in MDM for their worker’s phones. Not sure it’s Apple who has ‘no clue’ here.
Yep, this seems like the exact kind of thing companies would enforce with MDM.
I know one of my previous companies would enforce certain settings were changed if you wanted to install the MDM profile on a BYOD phone (like minimum 8 digit PIN), so requiring you to opt out of OpenAI Siri integration seems like a policy MDMs would offer.
(Though I would never install a company’s MDM profile on my personal phone lol - if they want me to be accessible and have work apps, they can provide a separate work phone)
It’ll get fun if he decides to cut Apple devices off Starlink.
Honestly, this is a good take, SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Sorry about that.
yay for net neutrality laws
Do people just use the Starlink router without their own firewall behind it?
Never in my life have I ever used the AP/switch function of the supplied router. That fucking thing can live outside my network, I don’t trust an ISP to wipe their ass after shitting, let alone keep a router updated.
Apparently they’re just plug and play wifi, you have to pay for an adapter to connect Ethernet to it.
Yah, i had to get the Ethernet dongle before I’d use it.
When I heard about that I thought it was pretty condescending.
Like give me an Ethernet port so I can plug my shit into it without giving you more money for something that really should be included.
That’s like not putting door handles on a car.
I was pretty surprised and pissed off when it showed up and I couldn’t find a way to plug in a cable.
On the other hand, it’s the best internet I’ve had out in the ass end of nowhere.
I hear the speed is very dependent on how many people are using it nearby.
Even funnier if Google also partners with a competitor, and Elon’s employees have to go back to flip phones
Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.
The final hilarity would be Elon forcing Twitter to re-enable SMS based tweets, then hackers using it to fake tweets from Elon himself.
Self-driving Cyber Phones with stainless steel cases that almost kind of fit, but not really.
Ugh, enough about the cybertruck!
Cuts like a knife, don’t it?
And also are sharp enough to cut your hand if you hold it in the wrong way.
Ah, they guy who tried to get Paypal to switch to running on Windows strikes again.
I hate paypal because they’re transphobic.
See, I made a paypal account long after changing my legal name, and I made the account under my current legal name. They asked for a birth certificate to prove my identity, so I gave them one. I have an amended birth certificate from when I changed my name that lists both my deadname and my current legal name. When Paypal saw my birth certificate, they changed the name on my account to my deadname, even though the paperwork clearly stated it wasn’t my legal name. When I complained to them, they told me I had to submit change of name paperwork to change the name on my account. Well I never changed my name while I had a paypal account! They did! I just wanted it un-changed to what it was before. If I need to submit change of name paperwork to fix their mistake, why didn’t they need paperwork to change it away from my legal name in the first place?
paypal deserves to run on windows
Both paths lead to the same destination inundated with AI ads and tracking.
Because Google doesn’t have its own AI, and other Android manufacturers aren’t also embedding OpenAI wherever they can in modern phones like Samsung.
I’m sure the richest company in the world is super worried about this threat.
Hopefully Apple counter-threatens with Xitter ban from their devices
That would actually be a figurative nail in the coffin for X. Apple idiots love X.
Yet another childish tantrum? Wow, is it another day ending with “y” already? How time flies…
Do it you pathetic spoiled manchild, stop flapping your gums and actually bloody do it.
Oh look, this asshole is trying to start shit with Apple again.
Elon Musk claims Apple has threatened to remove the Twitter app
Hard to blame Apple. I mean, for a good chunk of time that app hardly had content standards at all. It was effectively unmoderated for a time due to bad management.
I wouldn’t either, except there wasn’t proof this was happening except Musk saying shit.
Me: Hates musk.
Also me: dislikes Apple.
Still me: See’s this story as Musk doing another stupid thing to kill more business on both ends.
Finally me: Yessss…this news pleases me.
I don’t know when the tsla crash is gonna happen, but it’s gonna be fkn hilarious.
A thin-skinned and extremely fragile clown.
With too much fucking money.
LOL your loss bro
What are they going to use instead? Windows, which also has an OpenAI partnership? Android, which had Gemini and probably even worse privacy?
Or is the whole company switching to Linux and Linux mobile
Switching to Linux Mobile would be a welcome change, imagine them heading a FOSS Linux distro to run on phones
Not going to happen. Elmo is too self-centered to develop a phone in the spirit of FOSS. And then there are reputational issues to consider; many would be opposed to working for the benefit of Elmo.
Yeah that’s probably true
Don’t think it’s about privacy. It’s about that he wants money from openai because he tried to buy them out or something, or was involved a long time ago, or tried to get involved, or whatever, but he thinks he should have a big payday from it now that its stock is up.
He was a founding partner.
That left. And far as I remember it wasn’t a situation of being pushed out, he left on his own. Probably because he disagreed with everyone else about something.
Ironically with all the hubbub about Sam Altman, it seems like he somehow might have not been the clear worst of the bunch. Somehow.
