why: because the federal level is not doing it

how: by declaring it a law in that area

If having your personal email exposed would be a matter of personal safety or similar, then stop using it. If you're just using it for junk mail or to get a free trial then keep using it.

Because they're scientific instruments to collect data

Right, but that distinction is not because it's an eSIM - it's just how it's issued. There's no technical distinction, just a practical ease of issuance.

A roaming eSIM would work the same way as a roaming SIM. Just because it's easier to set up (no need to get a physical SIM) doesn't change the regulations around it.

eSIM doesn't change local laws around cell phones - it's not magic.

Yes, eSIM doesn't really change this conversation

It feels cynical to see this as a punishment when it's such a specific use case that does demonstrate deep integration with Siri. Maps, Messages, etc. use Siri for their interactions.

I am sure that there was a meeting where they decided what to do when Siri was off and somebody decided (very possibly with ulterior motives) not to split the feature set - all or nothing. However I don't think the challenge they were faced with in this hypothetical meeting was an easy one.

The alternative is you open the Messages app and you can't send messages. You open Maps and you can't get directions (unless parked). Sure, I get that they could show a screen saying "Sending messages is not available when Siri is disabled" but now you're hitting error messages while driving.

Anyways, the main reason people would disable Siri is accidental activation, and Apple provides all the toggles needed to avoid that without disabling the core components needed for CarPlay.

I don't really understand what you mean - yes, it is designed for Apple Music, a tab for browsing for new music, etc.

But it still has library views for songs, albums, artists, and playlists. That's the whole thing. Additional tabs to support modern music streaming don't devalue those tabs.

Why would it?

This is not straightforwardly true. Many people say that Toyota sells their data to insurance companies, but they do not unless you *affirmatively* opt in.

If you read the lawsuits and allegations carefully, they all say that they were tricked into opting in (NOT that they weren't opted in). If you review the setup process you see that the claim is outlandish and likely someone else did setup for them or they "forgot."

Toyota makes you affirmatively click a "yes" or "no" (or maybe it says "Accept" / "Reject" or whatever) for Insurance sharing when setting up a profile.

What is your point here? That's not what this law is about.

Reportedly it's running in Google Cloud, but Apple already uses Google Cloud for iCloud

Yes, but Siri can be turned off from invocation without turning off CarPlay. You can disable the side button and Hey Siri while leaving Siri "on."

iCloud already uses Google Cloud, so that still doesn't change the operational boundaries of where data goes

The Music app reads the same library and has the same core music-oriented functions as iTunes. Is the interface what you're missing?

When I sign in, NYtimes asks me to subscribe to other services, even though my subscription has access to the article I am trying to read.

Jailbreaking isn’t even needed - you can just modify the file

What are you trying to accomplish with this comment? SpaceX is the incumbent that's what I said...

What are you trying to accomplish with this comment? Did I say that they were on the same level?
