A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Apple lobbies for laws that benefit them all the time. Note that this is a general statement, and not about their activity in Switzerland, just like my previous statement.

Apple watches have not been available for decades.

I'm trying to convey that Apple is an exploitative company. If this offends you, that's weird, is your laptop the lynchpin in your personality?

I'm sorry for triggering you I'll try to be more sensitive of your needs.

Except none of that is in Switzerland. Thanks for proving that you don’t know what you’re talking about and are making things up as justification for your hurt feelings.
