Ownership of a phone doesn’t mean that the makers of said phone have to give you the source code and build in ways for you to be able to do things they don’t want.
Your own the device that does what it was advertised as. That’s it.
The EU shouldn’t be concerned about any of that, because it’s none of their business tbh.
If you want to install whatever OS you want on a phone, you’re free to go and make a phone and do just that. No governments should be able to force a company to do what you’re asking. It’s stupid to even suggest that Apple would shell out billions on hardware design etc and then be forced to give people a way to run AOSP on it and have it work.
Do you people even hear yourself? Should Sony be forced to build a way for you to be able to install AppleTV on their TVs? Should Nintendo be forced to build functionality to let users install windows on the Switch 2, making drivers for everything etc?
What does this have to do with privacy?
Those aren’t allowed anymore.
Voyager is on the play store and App Store?
Cloudflare are now behind ladybird so I’m hoping it becomes a legit challenger.
You don’t understand freedom then. You’re free to not use windows, and Microsoft are free to make their product how they see fit.
I use windows every single day. I use copilot for work almost every day in multiple different flavours (windows client, vs code, GitHub, and even made a mcp server using copilot agent to use in teams for departments at work to use to get info from various databases), and I know the privacy aspects of it. In windows in copilots settings you can do what I said - turn off learning from your usage, and turn off personalised content using your other data. You can even disable the copilot app from starting on boot the same way you do every other program, through task manager.
Sane with recall - it’s entirely “on device”, encrypted, secure, optional, and isn’t even available on 99.9% of devices as they don’t have an NPU.
There is no need to try and disable/remove them - just don’t use them if you don’t want to. Why do you think you need to disable/remove them?
China isn’t pure communism, it’s a unique mix of communism and capitalism.
No it’s not. When you buy a gun you’re not buying it with web connected software running it that is constantly updated and changed, and is actually a selling point, that you knew about when you bought it, and that you agreed to.
