We actually were starting to agree with you, but actually invade Greenland?
No, actually, do you know what?
No, do you know what?
Here's two fingers.
We're actually going to stick with the regulation after all.
I put this, I interviewed a guy called Kyle Ander yesterday.
He's Apple's VP for legal.
And he was having a good old moan about the Digital Markets Act.
Apple has a real grievance about that, about the interoperability.
And what they basically say in plain English is that the Digital Markets Act is,
is forcing them to dilute the design of their product.
Digital Markets Act is a competition regulation in the EU, as you know, but it's forcing them to dilute their products, to open them up, the design of them up to competitors to such an extent that it's diluting not only the safety and privacy, but also the potential profitability of the products.
And he was making the point that, I put it to him, look, that's fine, Kyle, right?
But are you really going to say, what are you going to do?
Are you going to leave the European market?
Are you going to pull your products?
And he said, no, no, no, we're not going to do that.
It's a very big market.
It's an important market.
It just means that, you know, we're probably going to invest less here and we may not release as many products here.
