That is indeed one area of privacy but I wouldn’t say that Apple is far worse. There is countless number of examples where this just simply isn’t true.

Also regarding the App Store, you don’t have to enter a credit card, you can make an account with a new email address.

I’m from a technical background and so I understand this but being a Brit sentences like this are always funny to me

It’s funny (and annoying) the disparity between Arm builds for macOS and Windows. I understand why it happens but even Microsoft has produced Arm native versions of apps for macOS before Windows.

I signed up for BuyMeACoffee recently. I did some work for free that’s important for the industry I work in and a few people donated money to me. That was almost 2 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for them to review my account. The only support seems to be just an email address?

In regards to the fact they pulled out of countries that are hard to operate in, yeah it’s annoying but you know, can you blame them?

Good for them. I’m a huge supporter of unions. Union busting is quite different here in the UK, so I should imagine they’ll successfully join the union without too much fuss.

The problem is if you go for a free market "vote with their wallets" approach, you end up with a problem like the US did with Microsoft having too high of a market share and control on browsers, media players and operating systems.

Customers can only really vote with their wallets when there is choice and no de facto standard. On top of that, many consumers don't really understand that things like their privacy and and choice has been taken away from them.

I do not agree with all parts of the DMA and I think it's overbearing in some areas but also lacklustre in others but I do think it's important that we don't let monopolies control our lives.

This is interesting, sure, but you would need more data to create a better identifier.

I’m on an iPhone, which isn’t an uncommon device using Brave which is just WebKit because of iOS restrictions. So there would be lot of iPhones that would just end up being with basically the same identifier.

Thanks both!

Do you happen to remember which bus company this was? Is there any article you can link me too as I’m quite interested in reading some more on it.

In what way?

There’s a certain irony of the whole thing

What version of iOS/which iPhone? 12 Pro Max here on 17.1.2 and having no issues.

I have used Infuse for years. I just use a basic NAS with a torrent client and a watch folder. I have pretty fast broadband too, so all together it’s a really nice experience. Plus the devices I’m usually watching from are an iPad, Mac or Apple TV anyway, so it works super nicely for me. I’ve never really understood the appeal of Plex to be honest.

They shouldn't be. I don't see them as synonymous.
