(No, just keep on. These kinds of regulations were long overdue)

    At least the EU protects consumers’ rights, which is a breath of fresh air and it is something to be appreciated. Not going to lie.

      For a second I was thinking about chromebooks because you can’t install native packages and only install apps from Play Store. Till I remember that you can enable app-dev mode to install any .apk (sideload). But does it count? I need to enable dev-app mode which can’t be reverted. Additionally it annoys you on the lock screen with a red text that this chromebook has unverified packages. You can always enable it without any further downsides.

      But at least you can install natively Linux on any Chromebook like a normal x86 Laptop or ARM64 Device.

            For all the iphones getting updated in 2024 although they mentioned with iOS 17. In EU. Dunno if Apple will extend the thing outside Europe.

    EU has its many flaws but they pretty much doing their job in regards of consumer rights, human rights and protection of personal data.

      You just said it means nothing, then explained what it means. Why is it unfortunate that apple will need to put UBC C on the single device that still doesn’t have it FROM THEIR OWN LINEUP.
