I don't disagree with all you said, but for example my company has developed for our field technicians an app they use when they go to customers. Obviously they chose android over ios. That's what I meant with impact on businesses. But Apple is making its revenue on b2c so for them it's probably OK. Always surprised a company that big survives on b2c.

I don't know if the fancier Samsung phones may have apps like what you mentioned? I'll take a look. Next time I'm offered a work phone I'll take an iPhone, I am curious to try one out tbh.

Your typical boomer was barely above age in 1973, things are not as clear cut as you say they are imo.

They seemed to love rich people, few times I was there.

People here are delusional, booting windows eats more ram than your typical embedded product needs to run. Same goes the hard drive.

And this people also think maintaining a yocto/build root image is proprietary 🤷‍♂️

Let's stop kidding ourselves, the "good reason" is the cto's yearly Microsoft financed holidays and/or too much legacy code to restart from scratch. But from a purely technical aspect, there's no reason to touch windows

Still expensive as fuck. And a nightmare to work with, but you knew that, it's windows

Funny thing is, the reason I never considered buying an iPhone was because I liked developing small apps and doing this on an iPhone is virtually impossible without paying. And I don't think I'm alone here, and this problem scales to professionals.

The vlc thing is about France not recognising patents on algorithms, unless I'm missing something there's otherwise no law relevant to software licensing

I think your average afd voter is more likely to bully nerds than befriend them.

Academia, the place where the woke idealogy is propped up by... Querdenker nerds? Lol give me a break

Mullvad doesn't do port forwarding anymore, AirVPN seems like a good replacement but I forgot where they are based

Could simply be to keep the material together. Makes sorting easier.

Standard practice in Germany but I think there's no recycling in the USA (assuming you're there) so quite pointless in this case
