iPhone Mirroring is banned from the EU because of the monstrosity of the Digital Markets Act.
So I built my own.
Works on WiFi at 60fps over AirPlay, mouse and keyboard support.
Another crazy final, GGWP KC.
It was a slow start of Spring split for us. The FST hangover hit us hard after Brazil. Everything felt heavier, from scrims to stage to daily life. Really frustrating to be in a slump after battling versus the bests. What happened to our well oiled machine?
One of the tool we used to reset was the addition of a new staff member. Adding an extra cook in the kitchen is always a delicate operation. Especially as Luka "Perkz" Perkovic is a veteran from the industry with a big voice, a strong personality and no coaching experience. He joined second week of April and it's been great to have him on board. He brings a lot of gameplay expertise and his energy/straightfullness helped us a lot. Thank you!
Things got smoother after a few weeks. Online EWC qualifiers tasted like Covid time as we had to play from our facility. Madrid was a fun team experience. Playoffs were a banger. We played and won twice a Bo5 game 5, those are precious and valuable practice for the future.
Quick time off and we will fly to Korea, and after a nice bootcamp in Seoul we shall head to Daejong. It always feels special to attend a tournament in Korea, current best region in the World.
Below the schedule, scrims, 9dinners 1o1 photos (I adapted for 11 people) and wordoftheday with a slot for Memento.

APPLE: Can we release Siri AI?
EC: Sure, if you want to get fined under the DMA
APPLE: How can we comply with the DMA?
EC: Give third-parties access to all the private data on Apple phones so that they can compete with you.
APPLE: But we can't do that, it would invade our users' privacy, and it's a violation of our brand promise.
EC: Then Siri AI won't be compliant with the DMA.
APPLE: How about if we give them access to a "Trusted System Agent", middleware that would allow competing virtual assistants to safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI?
EC: That's not equal access to everything you have access to, we want you to share everything, for free, that's what we think the DMA demands.
APPLE: I'm not sure that's what the text says, are you sure we can't talk about this? We don't even know if that's technically possible. We designed Siri AI to work with our systems, our private cloud, and on-device processing, we don't know how to provide the same access to third-parties from the jump. It's going to take time.
EC: That's fine, you can take your time, but if you launch in Europe we'll fine you.
APPLE: Can we start with the Trusted System Agent, and then figure out how to give you everything you want, that is technically possible, and in a privacy preserving way, over the next 18 months?
EC: Nope. EU law is non-negotiable.
APPLE: Really? That sucks, we don't want to Abandon our European users.
EC: That's Apple's decision, and Apple's only.
Est ce qu'on demande a BMW de construire des voitures dans lesquelle n'importe quel motoriste soit capable d'installer son moteur ?
Est ce qu'on demande a airbus de construire des avions dans lesquels n'importe quel fournisseur de système d'avionique soit capable d'installer le sien ?
Est ce qu'on demande a Siemens de construire des IRM dans lesquelles n'importe quel fabricant d'aimant soit capable d'installer le sien ?
ON EST CHEZ LES FOUS !
Qu'on aille cherche apple sur l'apple store et sur le ranconnage des developpeurs je peux a la rigueur le comprendre ! Mais qu'on demande a apple d'ouvrir son système au 4 vents pour que bidulleAI puisse avoir accès a tout le téléphone ... NON !!!!
EXCLUSIVE: Apple and the EU are telling very different stories on Siri AI, and right now, it's a standoff.
Apple's press release and comments to @LelloucheNico say the DMA would force it to give rival assistants deep access to messages, files, photos, app actions, and personal context, creating privacy/security risks.
I reached out to the EU Commission for comment, and they discussed it today (video below).
They said nothing in the DMA blocks Siri AI. Apple can launch it if it complies, but it must give rivals "equivalent access" and can’t use iOS to favour its own AI.
Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent” and an 18-month rollout to ensure only approved third-party agents could run. The Commission says they weren't "DMA-compliant interoperability proposals."
Whatever that means.
This is a standoff over who controls the AI layer on iPhone. The EU isn’t protecting user choice here. It’s trying to regulate the iPhone’s AI layer, and EU users are the ones losing out.
iPhone users can already download ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Apps like @poppysimplified can use your Mac to get system-level access for AI assistant apps.
The EU is demanding default, system-level access for any third-party app that claims to be an AI assistant. Which is dangerous, especially given Apple's privacy-focused AI stance. Apple, respectably, is not bowing down.
@francois_mlcr Mais je te jure je trouve ça zinzin de pas pouvoir accepter une défaite et d’être moins bon je trouve c’est pas bien mentalement hein je me rappel pas que quand g2 a perdu au first stand bb ai dis « putain pas de chance j’étais meilleur que bin aujourd’hui »
I'm honestly pumped for a software update that's mostly just combing through the fine details, performance improvements, etc. Liquid Glass and a lot of recent design elements have felt sloppy. The fact that "same corner radius in every Mac app" had to be an announced feature is wild. Very ready for a cleaner, more efficient MacOS, iOS, etc.
