The United States Justice Department is on the verge of filing a comprehensive antitrust lawsuit against Apple, a move that could significantly impact the tech giant's business practices and market dominance. Investigation Focus: • The Justice Department's investigation centers on Apple's strategies to maintain its dominance in the iPhone market. • The inquiry examines how Apple's control over its hardware and software ecosystem makes it challenging for consumers to switch to competing devices and for rivals to gain a foothold in the market. Specific Areas of Scrutiny: • The compatibility of the Apple Watch with non-Apple devices. • Apple's restrictions on competitors accessing its iMessage service. • The limitations of Apple's payments system for the iPhone, which blocks other financial firms from offering similar services. Significance of the Case: • The potential antitrust lawsuit against Apple would be the most consequential federal action against the company to date. • It follows a series of antitrust cases brought against tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Meta in recent years, reflecting a growing regulatory focus on curbing monopolistic practices in the tech sector. Regulatory Pressure Beyond the U.S.: • The European Union has taken steps to force Apple to allow alternative app stores on its devices, and similar actions are being considered in South Korea and Japan. Business Slowdown and Declining Revenue: • Apple's business has experienced a slowdown, with its annual revenue declining in 2023. • Despite selling over 200 million iPhones, the company's overall revenue fell by 2.8%, indicating a potential vulnerability to regulatory actions that could further impact its business. The U.S. Justice Department's investigation and potential antitrust case against Apple underscore the growing regulatory pressure on tech companies to address concerns about monopolistic practices and dominance in their respective markets. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for Apple's business model, its relationships with competitors, and the broader tech industry landscape.

Current seems to be doing ok charging $3.99/mo for some value added options. Not sure why others aren’t following suit. Lite mode, Premium mode. Easy, peasy. 🤷‍♂️

My friend lcamtuf, author of the crazy good AFL fuzzer, wrote a book called "Practical Doomsday".

Practical Doomsday: A User's Guide to End of the World

Recessions, injuries, week-long power outages: level-headed emergency preparedness advice for folks who are not expecting the apocalypse.

It builds upon the excellent document called "Disaster planning for regular folks", which he authored back in 2015, and updated regularly through 2021. #⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #reading #books #prepping #doomsday #disaster
