It's in the article.

Of their $291M in revenue, they reported a gross profit of $258M and an operating profit of $15.5M.

The work done by the hardware dept to build CPUs has been a great achievement though. While this started under Jobs, Apple now arguably makes the best CPUs in the market. Competing with AMD/Intel is no easy feat.

Red Hat probably contributes to Open Source and Linux more than any other company around. Are they perfect? Of course not, and it's fair and good to discuss and criticise them when warranted. But overall they seem to contribute positively much more than negatively.

How are they "doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem." exactly ?

The energy prices in Sweden were also mostly negative yesterday, and today as well. Although probably not quite as much as in Finland.

Doesn't matter what the actual capabilities are. What matters is what leaders in companies think they can do. And boy are there many companies drinking the AI kool-aid.

Another company (Dao) will deliver mail instead.

They also make great projectors.

On the TV side, they sold 51% to Chinese TCL, so I expect things will start going downhill fast from here, which is a shame.

Music, dog.

Interesting. Nextcloud does feel pretty sluggish and probably in need of a major overhaul of the backend. Still, it works quite well .

1.org:

We and our 1011 partners store and access personal data, like browsing data or unique identifiers, on your device.

Seems like they would many more 3rd party requests than those four.

In many places call recording (or indeed processing of personal information which is highly likely to be present in phone calls) requires consent to be legal. I highly doubt this kind of processing is legal in the EU without both parties consenting.

If you are open to building something yourself this might be an alternative (disclaimer: I just know of this project but no idea how well it works): https://www.findmycat.io/

It's a shame what happened with Neato. They were (I think) the first to add LIDAR for great systematic cleaning. Had one of their early models (no cloud, just a screen) and it was great except for the NiMH battery.

These days using https://valetudo.cloud/ is the way to go, to avoid dependency on cloud.

Definintly make sure you vote for people that don't support chat control in the EU elections but also make sure to do the same in national elections!

Currently the vote has not reached the EU parliament. The discussion is ongoing between the countries permanent representations / governments rather than elected MEPs as far as I understand.

The person owning the phone where the processing takes place, is the processor of the data in this case. That still requires consent from the data subject per gdpr.

Obviously that was a controversial decision, but Red Hat probably contributes to Open Source more than any other company. To call Red Hat "OSS Hostile" is probably a little too much.

Fair, I was not aware of that exception. It does seem to cover this case, assuming Google is actually not sending any data outside of the phone, use it for further training etc.

The DPC is about to hire a former meta lobbyist to lead their organisation. They can obviously not be trusted to uphold EUs privacy laws.

I think it's clear that there are problems with children's use of social media today.

But a blanket ban is not the way to go. Especially since it will most likely just lead to age verification and all the issues that brings.

Looks impressive, especially with the amount of providers supported.
