Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the USEnglish223·19 hours agoWell, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?
They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we’ll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes
Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•Eurovision accused of ‘encouraging manipulation’ after Israel’s near-win [Spains RTVE and Flemish VRT demand investigation into voting system]English21·3 days agoI got many YouTube ads telling me to vote for her song up to 20 times (ads didn’t mention Israel, just name and song)
It’s obvious that it has been manipulated as you don’t go from #14 to #2 overnight with votes evenly spread around many countries, especially when the song is not a hit
They intentionally chose her, because being a survivor of that terrorist attack, they can push the “see? Hamas bad, they killed 1000 innocent Israelis”
Every year Israel gets millions of votes that don’t match the song listening stats
Trakt raises the VIP subscription to $60/year? Are they crazy? They really think that a service that simply tracks what movies you watch is worth that price?
There are streaming subscriptions cheaper than that

Now, if the malicious code is slowly added to the source over the course of an year like it happened with the xz utils, this won’t change the result, but it’s easier to do so with a compiled binary. Release clean source and infected binary, it will take a longer time to get caught
For the closed source app stores, on iOS there’s the manual inspection (which is not infallible especially if they timebomb or geofence the bad feature) and for Google there’s the automated inspection (which fails often seeing the news) that should find problems

Wispy2891@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejectionEnglish13·11 days agoWhen I saw the process to add Google drive support to an app I thought: “wouldn’t be easier to just discontinue the public APIs?”
If I was a dev I would immediately remove the integration instead of paying the required thousands (yearly!) to keep it. Then in the app explain the situation to the customer, add a referral link to Dropbox, onedrive or other competitors

But it comes with a huge downside: if dev goes rogue or gets hacked, you could install a malicious version of the app that doesn’t match the source
