A jury just found Google guilty on all counts of #antitrust violations stemming from its dispute with #Epic, maker of #Fortnite, which brought a variety of claims related to how Google runs its app marketplace. This is huge:

This has the potential to completely upend how Google licenses GMS and distributes Android, but we'll have to wait and see exactly what remedies the judge in this case decides to levy.
According to The Verge, the jury "unanimously answered yes to every question put before them". Wow. Google will no doubt appeal the ruling, but that's rough.
@MishaalRahman Given the evidence presented, I COMPLETELY agree with the jury's verdict on this case.
It just sucks that from a practical end-user standpoint, Apple's case was ruled against Epic.
Of the two, Android is the platform where you can actually side load Android apps, and whole other app stores.
I'm hoping this brings more scrutiny on Apple's business practices and restrictions, especially from EU regulators.

In der #Praxis hocken und warten. Was macht ihr heute noch so?
Ich habe mit meinem Kranken-Hintern vorhin an meinem #SteamDeck gefuchtelt. Nun muss ich nur noch die #Savegames von #Epic auf dem Deck laden und ich bin zufrieden, irgendwelche Ideen? Abseits von du kannst das im Menü anhaken.... xD
Got a replacement blower #ECM#motor from northamericahvac.com - had to order from the States. Installed it, and ... furnace was still throwing an #error code meaning "incorrect #signal from ECM motor" once, then "no signal from ECM motor" forever after.
After double-checking, I saw the part number on the box didn't match what I'd ordered - but that turned out to be a red herring. The box number was for the unprogrammed motor.
