More like they want to charge you for a new car

he's not asking for a warranty claim or replacement, he's asking for a repair service. it's like taking your 10 year old accord to the service center to get some bushings/mounts/battery or whatever replaced

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

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

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

fair enough. allow me to rephrase, whatever reason we're on the fediverse, it should be held to the same standard. for context, the initial commenter said something along the lines of "you don't have to be here"

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.
