We sent preliminary findings to Apple to ensure free and effective interoperability under the Digital Markets Acts.
Apple should open iOS features like notifications, AirPlay, and AirDrop to third-party devices, enhancing innovation and user choice.
Apple should also improve the transparency and predictability of the process developers follow to request interoperability with iOS/iPadOS features, including fair handling of rejections and clear timelines.

⚡️ Russian-occupied Abkhazia left without electricity due to hydroelectric station shutdown.
Georgia's Russian-occupied region of Abkhazia lost all electricity supply due to the shutdown of the only power station supplying energy to the region, TASS reported on Dec. 11.
The region has recently faced energy shortages aggravated by a growing spat with its Russian patrons. Moscow has cut almost all funding, including money crucial for the energy sector, after Abkhazia's local council voted against a controversial investment agreement with Russia.

1/2 In June 2022 Polish train repair shop Serwis Pojazdów Szynowych #SPS asked the ethical hacking group #DragonSector for help after their trains had "mysterious failures", leaving the trains completely unusable. Analysing the train's software, the hackers concluded that the train manufacturer bricked the trains on purpose because the train was taken to an independed repair shop.
