What are the specs?

Is it though? I have 2 different USB adapters that work perfectly out of the box for my Windows, Ubuntu and Android devices, but my 2016 mac pro just kernel panicked every time I used either one of them.

And very recently I got my M1 to shit the bed by having a HDMI display connected to the HDMI port.

What I meant by "turned pink" is that the display showed only bright pink color and the mac display had a single corrupted line of pixels on it.

Yup. Yesterday my mac turned my external display pink. The monitor was connected directly to the HDMI socket on the M1.

Tell me a more iconic duo than external devices and a panicking mac.

I hope all Erasmus trips in the next year are funded by Apple

Inertial guidance sucks balls for any meaningful amount of time. Combining it with ground tracking gets it a lot better, if you have good time of flight sensors to measure the distance from the ground. But this also falls flat on its face when the ground is too uniform (grassland, wetland, snow etc).

Global net income, yes. But it is 5% of the income from the EU. As much as I dislike Apple, the fine seems to be reasonable. I do want to see it bumped up if they keep on with their horseplay.

Based on Statista, Apple profit from EU was 36B in 2023. The fine in this case amounts to 5% of their profit from the region. This is something that will impact the company's decisions.

Or they will fund more infrastructure development in the EU. It's still just March.

And it most definitely isn't. GDPR requires explicit consent for collecting OR processing personal information. As per the European Commission, just taking the picture and extracting some metrics off of it already counts as processing personal information:
