Apple updates the rules for its EU App Store by adding more complicated fees

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2026-02-21 22:38:29

Apple on Thursday announced a series of updates to its developer policies to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). The news, which was expected, arrived just in time to meet the deadline of June 26, after which the iPhone maker would risk new fines. The changes involve both how app developers can communicate with their customers and the fees Apple charges. EU regulators had earlier fined Apple €500 million for non-compliance with the DMA and were threatening to impose further penaltie

I like the idea of RSS, but none of the RSS readers stuck with me, until I implemented one of my own, using a somewhat unusual technique. There’s at least one other person using this approach now, so let’s write this down. Let me start with a quick rundown of RSS, as the topic can be somewhat confusing. I am by no means an expert; my perspective is amateur. The purpose of RSS is to allow blog authors to inform the readers when a new post comes out. It is, first and foremost, a notification mec

Best Desks of 2025: I've Spent Nearly 4,000 Hours Testing Desks. These Are the Ones You Want

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-24 21:32:00

Testing desks is something of a subjective game. Much like office chairs, the tests are based on comfort, reliability and ease of setup rather than things you can test in electronics such as wattage and battery usage. I still tested each one rigorously and will continue to test them for longevity in the coming months. I tested these desks by asking three people to try each one. Each of them used the desk for at least 16 hours and then gave me their impressions. The three people were 6 feet, 1 i

As if we needed any other reason to drink coffee or tea, new research provides insight into how caffeine supports health and longevity.

The world already feels like it’s on the brink of doomsday, so we might as well gear up for another round of Captain Trips. The Stand, Stephen King’s doorstop-sized 1978 post-apocalyptic novel, is getting a new adaptation from director Doug Liman—with a twist. Instead of another series following in the footsteps of the 1994 and 2020 versions, this will be instead be a feature film.
