you're talking about a bandwidth cap, not a data cap. data caps are when you get throttled after downloading a certain amount of data or get charged extra. think phone data plans where you have 10 or 20gb or whatever per month
wow how could this have appen-ed
(i just really wanted to make the pun)
I believe this is a thing already, albeit not solar powered by a company called 8sleep. I've never personally tried them but heard of them from some sponsor spots on youtube
if it was any other social media like reddit doing this, everyone would be up in arms about it. no one is forced to be on reddit either. we're on lemmy bc we value our privacy (no ads, tracking, etc.) so it should be held to the same standard too and not given a free pass.
reading the article, it doesn't even seem like a dynamic island problem. the author is complaining that they are unable to quickly glance and what notifications they have without pulling the notification shade down, which would have happened whether the island is there or not. iOs has never done that, even when displays were squared off with no cutout. article feels clickbaity and complaining about nothing
iMessage lock in is almost exclusively a US problem (maybe EU, but i have no experience living there so i'm not sure). I'm from Malaysia and 99% of communication here is done through whatsapp and I know this is true for many other countries too. Line is frequently used in korea, Wechat in china, etc. It was only when I moved to the US that I used iMessage in any serious capacity
Revenue doesn't equal profit. Apple's 2023 net profit was 96b, so a 14b fine is a substantial portion of their overall profits (~15%).
Of course, they're not hurting by any stretch of the imagination, 82b is still a STUPID amount of money, but we should be getting the facts and numbers correct
