x/teresa-ribera
— 6d
The EU is revamping antitrust guidance to let dominant firms defend certain practices that would normally raise competition concerns if they deliver sustainability, public-policy goals, or resilience in supply chains, and to clarify when dominance applies. Critics warn that the broader allowances could blur anti-competitive abuse with pro-competitive efficiency, risking unfair dominance.

MKBHD Highlights Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Sensor Upgrades Amid Unchanged Designs
Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) posted that the upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 keep the same exterior designs but introduce new silicon and improved sensor arrays enabling far more frequent heart-rate monitoring—background HR every 5 seconds (60× previous) and HRV every 5 minutes (24× previous). Apple is claiming this makes it the “most accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable.” The post is trending due to MKBHD’s large following, high engagement (100k+ views, 1k+ likes), and interest in Apple’s annual hardware refresh cycle and health-feature competition.
