The case was that Google paid apps to not be on competing stores and only be on the Play store. It’s not a lawsuit around Android sideloading.

Still ironic though that Epic games is the main proponent, but yet they do the exact same thing on their store paying for exclusives.

We should ban phones as well because people get scam calls.

There’s basically no reason ever to do water cooling on a home system unless you’re trying to do overclocking.

Air is cheaper, more reliable, and typically quieter because you don’t need pumps.

At least where I work, our cloud team is ~35 people who manage the whole thing.

The datacenter team? In the hundreds.

Cloud is not the answer to every infra problem, but the flexibility, time to market, and lifecycle burden are easily beneficial weighed against finops. I’m an Azure engineer myself, it’s no comparison the benefits to a managed solution vs rolling your own DC for a lot of regular business workloads and solutions. Beyond that personally I’ve been able to skill up in areas I wouldn’t be able to otherwise if I was stuck troubleshooting bad cables, rebuilding a dead RAID array, or planning VMWare scaling nonsense.

Your reverse proxy should have a cert with HTTPS.

In fairness they’re not the same thing - recall records everything you do making a nice single honeypot of all your actions. Apple’s thing is really just a search bar that can reach into apps like email, calendar, etc - it’s not recording your bank logins. Google Play Services tracks everything you do on Android and sells it to advertisers.

A valid point, the main issue at hand is that the iPhone is locked down to Apple’s approved store - you can’t just install things like a regular computer. That’s really the core of the lawsuit regarding the insane 30% cut Apple forces on their mobile computing platform.

Jellyfin equivalent which doesn’t require a subscription for your own media library.

Steam isn’t a monopoly.

The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.
