I can, ray, and this is news from Michael s can brought to you by yours truly and sponsored by one password extended access management.

Your solution for m dm and identity and access management learn more at one password dot com flash macos can this show was also gravy by people like you patrons through patria on find out more and past the EMS at patron. Don't come flash aco west canton. Gay this country to demand up open iphone.

The third party upstair has lined up and is being quite insistent and gad says cade, the anti trust regulating bony in brazil, is demanding that the couper tina company make changes that allow for purchases from third party APP developers without going through apple. The clock on this is taking loudly and quickly. The piece that says regulators have given apple twenty days to make the change every day.

After that, the changes are not made, we'll mean to find a roughly forty three thousand dollars us and get IT points out that that's really not a lot of money for apple. Now the company didn't get where IT is by giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars per week. And besides, they probably say there's a principle of player something.

As for what brazil is seeking specifically, they will have what everyone else is having under the ruling. The report says apple must take steps such as allowing third party developers to tell their users about alternative locations to purchase their goods or services and to include buttons, external links and other calls to action that show users alternative ways to access their products rather than just in APP. Developers would also be able to use other in APP purchasing systems, theoretically avoiding apple thirty percent commission structure, distribute their apps and places other than apple's APP store and more all in the next nineteen days.

Sounds totally dinner roles. Indonesia has officially answered to apples, one hundred million dollar investment offer. The answer is no.

We talked about this possibility earlier this week. We coping how we got here. Apple was roughly fifteen million dollars U. S. Short on planned investments to indonesia. So indonesia ban the sale of iphone sixteen in that country, apple off in the country in additional investment of ten million dollars.

Us then perhaps realizing the error in their math, up the offering to an investment of one hundred million dollars, perhaps missing a more glaring error in their math, the report earlier this week had indonesian authorities considering a big nupe, and that is the direction they've chosen, a report formations from this press as indonesia saying apple's offer relax the fairness required by the government. It's fairly not about the amount of money, but what is being spent on the country's industry minister is quoted in the report saying, currently, apple still has not invested in production facilities or factories in indonesia, according the afp. The industry minister said the ministry urged apple to immediately set up a production facility or factory in indonesia based on the fairness principles so that the company doesn't have to file in the investment scheme proposal every three years.

At this point, I feel somewhat compelled to apologize to you somewhere along the way while writing today show holiday. I just hit me hard. If you listen closely, you can probably cry very sauce when that happened.

Anyway, let's press on kind of a frustrating story from the financial times on tuesday, IT basically boiled down to apples going to have a hard time getting apple intelligence approve for china if IT doesn't do what we're all expecting IT to do anyway. The piece hinges on comments from an unnamed the facial in the chinese government coding the report. A top chinese tech regulator told the financial times that foreign groups such as apple would face a lengthy and complex approval process to run their own models and indicated partners with locals was their best option.

The high ranking official at the cyber space administration of china said that would be a comparatively simple and straight forward approval process for foreign vice makers to use already banded LLM from chinese groups. Didn't we know that that's what they were gonna. While apple uses own A I for relatively simply on device task, have you lifting here in the states has done through a partnership with OpenAI or will be once everybody gets I O S eighteen two OpenAI is unlikely to ever get approval in china, leaving apple to partner with chinese players, which i'm pretty sure we already knew was the plan.

Maybe even that relatively simple on device stuff has to happen through partners as well. It's unclear from the report and kind of frustrating. More news in the moment.

Mac rumors says the cup tio company has once again lending support to the global fund to fight AIDS deberry losses and malaria. If you not familiar with IT, that is a global fund set up to fight aides to bertie losses and malaria. The pic as apple runs this donation campaign had a world aid day on the first of december each year.

This year's program will struggle that date. According to macs rumors, apple plans to donate five dollars for every purchase made using apple pay on apple dot com through the apple store or an apple store to the fund from friday, the twenty nine of november, through sunday, the eighth of december. Apple said its donation this year will be kept at three million dollars.

Now i'm doing the math right and there is seriously no guarantee that I am. But if i'm doing the math right, that is six hundred thousand apple pay transactions. We can do this, by which I mean you can do this.

It's not that i'm not giving of just done all of my apple shopping for the time being on the heels. Apple's capable spirit feels like a weird time to ask about product, red product. So i'll let mac rumors do that.

My friend asked me a few months ago what happened to that? The thing where apple would make versions of its products in the color red, then turn a portion of sales of those products specifically over to the global fund in a peace separate from the apple pay promotion peace. Mac rumors points out that apple has very few product red products at this point.

According to that, the only current generation product red product that apple cells new is the iphone S E three, which is expected to be discontinued in march. Beyond that, the only remaining product red products or the iphone fourteen and the handful of older iphone cases, it's interesting to see the question pop up again. What would be more interesting would be an answer, holding my breath in three, two, what? Hold none.

Just getting a message. We should not hold our breath. And finally, today, if you're looking for something interesting to watch over the holiday weekend, you might consider the award winning apple TV plus series drops of god.

And yes, that award winning part is new. The hollywood reporter ran a report tuesday that had the french, american, japanese monger adaptation produced by legendary television winning the award for best drama at monday night's s international academy of television arts and sciences awards. This is the one about the wine guy who dies leaving his estranged daughter to compete with his protege of at the late man's wine collection.

The greatest collection in the world, according to experts, get biological daughter were suspire ual son with a daughter at something of a disadvantage. Since he knows nothing about wine and has never even tasted a drop a bit, I tend to like my mongo with giant robots. But whatever a second season has been announced that he has yet to hit the stream eight episodes and drops of god season one, all eight were available to stream now on apple T, V, plus.

So I don't know what that there's gonna a macos can tomorrow. If there is IT won't be the usual thing. Maybe a fun conversation, maybe a heart felt message or you know just know that I will be thinking about you and wondering whether you're thinking of me.
