Oh, how sad it is to see a multinational company discovering that they are not immune to local laws.

    How sad it is to see a wasted post on matter of little importance where activism against tech giants is concerned... plenty of missed opportunities in the past and many more to come, this is NOT one of them :)

    This is not so little, as it is one that is easy to prove under existing laws, and very hard for a company to wriggle out of. A case of picking battles.

    We are talking about the same thing right, refusing to under warranty, service devices that were serviced by third, not authorised parties?

    Not quite - this is Apple disabling devices serviced by third parties.

SFF Music Video of the Week -#100

Image
Well, we've made it through 100 episodes of this little vanity project of mine. Next countdown is to the two-year anniversary! This week's first video was uncovered by Leece who described it as "unexpectedly uplifting". Despite being from an American band, this is full of the most wonderfully over the top Eurovision style costuming and vibes. It is great to see exactly who the competent one is in the team!  Then we get to move on to the sequel video, which takes us into the counterpoint world of magical martial arts fighting games. And, oh my goodness, the eyes ! You will see what I mean! All of this was shot in some of the most spectacular places in Mexico, so we get some great scenery porn as just to round things out. So, from the 2019 album "Swing" enjoy "Fantasy" and "Swing" by SOFI TUKKER.
