  • In the ongoing legal dispute between Apple and Epic Games over Apple's theft of 30% of everything, Apple was ordered to produce a million documents relating to changes to the App Store.

    Apple asked for an extension to that deadline, following its habit of dragging out unfavourable cases forever.  (Tech Crunch)

    The judge was not having it.
    As Epic constantly points out, this document production is all downside for Apple because it relates to Apple’s alleged lack of compliance with the Court’s injunction. It is not in Apple’s interest to do any of this quickly. This is a classic moral hazard, and the way Apple announced out of the blue four days before the substantial completion deadline that it would not make that deadline because of a document count that it had surely been aware of for weeks hardly creates the impression that Apple is behaving responsibly.

    Apple’s request for an extension of time is DENIED. The deadline for the substantial completion of document production is Monday, September 30. It’s up to Apple to figure out how to meet that deadline, but Monday is indeed the deadline.
    Good to see.  I have no particular love for Epic Games, but Apple acts like a classic monopolist, constantly skirting the edge of open illegality.

Pixy Was Watching

Quality Assurance in Another World.

The season ended as I expected, with nothing really resolved, but at least with most of our reluctant heroes reunited and Nikola taking a well-earned level in Badass.

No announcement of a second season, just a "To be continued?" card at the very end.

Fortunately, there is the manga, which apparently runs to about three seasons worth of material.




Disclaimer: No, there is no CharybdisDB.  I checked.

1 At least it's not Munchausen's by proxy.  Oh, wait, that's the definition of long Covid.  Never mind.

Apple pies are delicious. But never mind apple pies. What colour is a green orange?
