Surprise: Apple now supports California’s right-to-repair

Reply in thread

"Further, the bill has a component that prevents manufacturers from being required to make tools, parts, and documentation available for any component that would disable or override antitheft security measures, which would encompass features like Face ID."

All Apple has to do is claim that some part is security-sensitive and they don’t have to make it available. Or they can part things together in a “package” and only make that available. Need a $1 chip? Tough, you have to buy the screen sub assembly that costs $750.

Apple backs California Right to Repair Act after long fight

Apples policy’s won’t change much. Anything considered a “security” feature or part doesn’t have to made available or can be bundled into a “package”. Speciality tools and schematics don’t need to be made available etc. same watered down stuff as usual. Apple wants the positive PR of seeming like they are on the right side of right to repair.

From the comment section on YouTube

"Further, the bill has a component that prevents manufacturers from being required to make tools, parts, and documentation available for any component that would disable or override antitheft security measures, which would encompass features like Face ID." Apple isn't giving away the farm. As long as they consider it security-sensitive, they don't have to share it with anyone.

Still can’t edit on mobile yet. :(

SEC Grapples with Approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs.

Reply in thread

Essentially, a Bitcoin spot ETF is a type of investment fund that aims to track the price of Bitcoin directly. Unlike futures-based ETFs, which derive value from contracts speculating on future Bitcoin prices, spot ETFs seek to hold actual Bitcoin. This would allow investors to buy and sell shares of the ETF on an exchange, exposing them to Bitcoin's price movements without actually needing to purchase and store Bitcoins themselves.

In case, like me, you had no idea what a spot ETF was.
