They didn't say that though? The last paragraph made it clear (to me) that they were saying the end result isn't the only part of at that makes it impressive, but also the effort/skill involved

The act of retaliation is the part that's a felony dude, not banning someone's apple id.

You do realize that you can like iPhones and Apple products while recognizing that a lot of Apple's business practices seriously hurt consumers, right?

I also don't think they'll lose. They have a ton of evidence of intentionally anti-competitive behavior from Apple.

Nah this is just an epidemic of lazy people who want the credit of being called an artist without putting in any of the work.

Isn't that what the person you replied just said?

I don't understand the issue. Why can't they just call the Android API when the user wants to view their weather? I'm just not buying that this would be so costly to the battery life that it would be unusable.

I am buying that apple wants to keep their walled garden and they're making up excuses to do so

And the linked Bloomberg article straight up says they cancelled the project because the Apple Watch drives iPhone sales, lol.

Why would you make up a reason to justify the government seizing people's data? Like damn I thought lemmy cared about privacy but this thread is wild with some of the comments I'm reading.

They were videos about using drones and AR to create maps. There's nothing illegal about that.

It's crazy to me that this got 61 upvotes while the main concern here, that 30,000 unrelated people had their data handed over to the government, is just an aside in point 1.

It really concerns me that people think any of this reasonable. If this is "reasonable" then there's nothing stopping cops from getting all of our data, whenever they want it. All they have to do is find one suspect who watched one video.

That's fucking crazy and clearly unreasonable. Take my downvote for having an exceptionally bad opinion on this topic.
