Comment on: Brazil regulator fines Apple $2 million for not including chargers with iPhone 12
Apple products are not known for selling at manufacturing costs. iPhone 12 boasts wireless charging and $50 is on the lower end of the prices of those chargers with some of the more sophisticated ones going for well over a hundred dollars. Adding those chargers to the iPhones would make the iPhones more expensive for consumers who would over time start hoarding unused and unusable wireless iPhone chargers as they now do hoard USB chargers. The approach of the Brazilian regulator makes no sense.

I think they should bundle it with a 6 outlet surge protector with 2 12 volt USB power outlets.
Seriously though, Linux phones can't come quickly enough. If enough open source software developers banded together we could really hurt Apples bottom line and force companies to build phones people actually want. Phones with big batteries, m2 slots , reparable ect.

There isn't a way that pleases everybody. If Apple bundled in a charger eco extremists would scream that they are wasting material because everybody and their dog already have a drawer full of USB chargers. When they leave one out consumer protection groups object about it.
I don't see any issue in selling iPhones without a charger. If you don't have a charger and adding, I don't know, $50 to the price if an iPhone (that frequently exceeds a grand), would be too much for you, then I argue you can't afford it and should rethink the purchase.

Inheritance is a good model for UI development. Maybe the only time you should use Inheritance over composition. Rust refuses to implement it completely. I'm gonna say it's a toss up between the two. I would probably still go C++ just with modern C++. But I like the syntax more. I can see why you would rather use Rust. Cargo is light years ahead of CMake

Comment on: Is there a way to dynamically adjust a url, using some kind of network-gate?
Most registrars should let you set up http redirects in the admin panel which just gives the browser a new URL to go to instead. If you mean keeping the URL the same but sending the user to a different website invisibly you could use a CNAME record in your domains DNS.
I'm not sure if that would retain the path in the request, if that was a requirement I've done this before by pointing my dead URL to an AWS lambda to do the redirection but retain the pathname.
Hope that helps, I'm not very experienced in Ops

Yeah, to me the only thing new that IPFS introduces in its current state is that it brings p2p elements into web browsing (and I wouldn't even be surprised to discover that isn't new either), but its goal of decentralizing the internet is far from being achieved.

Comment on: How do you stay anonymous using IPFS and other p2p decentralsied solutions without a VPN?
That only works for static files that don't need to change (like music for example). For something that is live or potentially would receive updates the questions arise: Who is allowed to update the file? How do you know the file you're looking at is the most up to date version? How do you know that the updated file is actually legitimate or safe? These are all questions that IPFS, as far as I know, has no solution for which renders the entire protocol useless in its current state IMO.

If IPFS is implemented with actual decentralization (no centralized control of file versions and ownership) then you have far greater security issues than people being able to see your IP. The only way I see to fix this defeats the purpose of IPFS.

I mean it depends what level of privacy you're ultimately going for. Apple is slightly better than android on this front, but you can still get MITM'd through cell tower spoofing if you're concerned about that (and who knows what else).
If you want to be an autismo [PinePhone](https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/) is sort of a thing. The point is, the only way to actually stay completely anonymous and untrackable is to use a burner phone, bought with cash, and your phone at home (location data cannot be traced to the point of purchase). It's how it's been done for ages.
