The EU has formally charged Meta with violations of its Digital Markets Act (DMA), marking its second such charge in as many weeks. The European Commission writes in a preliminary ruling that the “pay or consent” advertising model that launched last year for Facebook and Instagram users runs afoul of Article 5(2) of the DMA by not giving users a third option that uses less data for ad targeting but is still free to use.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Between price increases and Netflix cutting people off their neighbor's sister's dog sitter's account, affording streaming accounts has become a lot harder.

With a whole host of the best streaming services at our fingertips, subscriptions can get expensive, which is why it’s nice to hear that Netflix is reportedly considering rolling out a completely free tier with ads, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.Unfortunately, though, Netflix would not reportedly look to launch such a service in the US market – instead, it is considering Europe and Asia.

We’ve talked for months about how Apple will put its own spin on AI features for the iPhone via iOS 18. More recently, we learned that all the new AI features Apple plans to unveil at WWDC 2024 will be branded as “Apple Intelligence.”
That’s a brilliant and lucky way to turn “AI” into an Apple-branded product, and it’s something Apple’s rivals can’t match. However, most people will probably not use “Apple Intelligence” as much when discussing the iPhone’s AI capabilities. “AI” will continue to mean artificial intelligence for all of us.
That said, what’s clear from all these reports is that...
