I am surprised #Japan 🇯🇵 is forcing #Apple to allow alternative browser engines on #iPhone, #iPad & (maybe‽) #AppleWatch too.

However, I do not see much competition in the browser market nowadays. It is either WebKit (Safari), Blink (a fork of WebKit that Chromium is based on) or Gecko (for #FireFox).

Hat schon mal jemand in #Schweden eine #AppleWatch im „for Kids" mit einer entsprechenden eSim konfiguriert bekommen? Laut Apple Homepage soll es über den Carrier #Telia gehen, aber deren Website ist gelinde gesagt - verwirrend. Szenario ist Urlaub für 2 Wochen.
Bitte nur Hinweise wie es konkret in Schweden gehen könnte, alles andere kenn/weiß ich.

arXiv.orgWatchWitch: Interoperability, Privacy, and Autonomy for the Apple WatchSmartwatches such as the Apple Watch collect vast amounts of intimate health and fitness data as we wear them. Users have little choice regarding how this data is processed: The Apple Watch can only be used with Apple's iPhones, using their software and their cloud services. We are the first to publicly reverse-engineer the watch's wireless protocols, which led to discovering multiple security issues in Apple's proprietary implementation. With WatchWitch, our custom Android reimplementation, we break out of Apple's walled garden -- demonstrating practical interoperability with enhanced privacy controls and data autonomy. We thus pave the way for more consumer choice in the smartwatch ecosystem, offering users more control over their devices.
