Main concern that this batteries should not have apple trademarked logos and names. Louis suppliers should take care about scrapping off or covering that marks and names.
Because if batteries will start exploding, it will have impact on Apple reputation, and they will have to spend lot of PR money fixing that.
And the refurbished batteries from China are most likely to fail with the fireworks, as grey market manufacturers squeeze the last drops from the lithium elements, setting crazy values in the controller. Also, this elements might be "rejects"(didn't passed Q&C) from various manufacturers, including those who make batteries for Apple.
Good point, possible.
At the same time, you can blame for same any person who often repost the news.
It smells bad and creates a conditions for action resembling repressive regime of Stalin.
Proverb associated with such logic: "If there is a man, there is always a criminal article for him"
As native russian speaker, just in first lines directly i see posts have nothing to do with "farms".
For example, f9dded769bb2275fc6531c1b4d10cf05272c48806fbd73265ef318fac0a22962 is just reposting _in russian language_ russian (Kirov) city news. Most likely just some kind of automated bot, reposting newsfeeds from aggregator.
Can't see anything how it makes it "troll farm". And news even, seems, not biased, they reposted news from various websites pro and against government.
I feel i will be considered criminal, by default, just because i'm posting sometimes in russian language
Or older phrase: "Aliis si licet, tibi non licet"
What small players will be mercilessly punished for, the big ones will call “disproportionate effort” and will be forgiven.
It seems you didn't watched video.
His point is simple: Chinese factories removing broken glass, putting new, and shipping back same product(not counterfeit), repaired.
I dont see here any fraud. Only greedy Apple want to fabricate repair as fraud, to deny right to repair, and after that they will be quite happy to put you such repair price, that you will prefer to buy a new phone
Because it is extremely beneficial for them to put the situation in such a way , so it is easier to introduce new taxes, new draconian measures to restrict the rights to backup copies, to limit the ways of reproduction and etc.
Their greed has no limits
Horrible or not, unfortunately, Qualcomm acquired many good companies, such as Atheros, who have most consistent Linux-supported wifi card and SoC.
Any downfall of Qualcomm automatically means downfall of these great products.
And, is there any SoC vendor who does give reference SDK, with factory calibration tools, without NDA (and crazy fees)?
I rather prefer to see giant Tampax flying to Mars. At least, in our sad reality it will be some reason for good laugh.
(I know largest stages will stay orbiting our mother Earth, but still fun)
One thing producing performance-impacting patches for existing processor, another thing trying to sell and manufacture defective processor with known before launch vulnerability.
Yes, we should believe. I rather prefer to believe detailed technical reports like EFF do, with all details, than this bullshit with "well informed anonymous sources" that often turns to be "our imagination".
No problems, just Google will not accept payments directly, for example, and create MicroGoogle France, who provide service surprisingly similar to theirs.
Or they think those behemoths will give up on their billions just like that?
Again, such news should mention, when this quantum computer will crack typical asymmetric cryptos and all that long-term stored encrypted https dumps with embarrassing photos (yours too!), can be decrypted by Google or NSA.
*sniff sniff*, smells like bullshit.
Isn't such agencies should come up with solid proof first, before accusing anyone? Or they became oligarch/multinationals mercenary - like law enforcement agencies in Putin Russia?
What if China cut, in retaliation, and in their traditions - much more harsh way, Apple? 1/4-1/3 of profit gone? (and other countries might enjoy following trend)
This "handy list" is bullshit and not precise at least in one particular entry: Lebanon.
Because Lebanon are not under "blanket sanctions" list, but specific entities (as in many others) is sanctioned.
The only exception is that US companies not allowed to ship any weapons to Lebanon, unless it is Lebanese Army.
Just FYI.

Good reason to read it again :)

Interesting how it will perform on it :)
Why not, but for a price of new XS (or almost). I guess they brought this program to counter Louis Rossmann https://apple.slashdot.org/sto...

This news reminds me this nice game and endless batteries swapping while on high depth in lava biome.

Please dont use buzzwords suitable for mass media. They use _machine learning_, and it is far from being AI.
