This sounds like the move, vs. having mum on Win+Chrome. If people had set their family members up with Firefox and Ublock Origin, then the Manifest v2 deprecation wouldn’t have resulted in seniors getting hit with certain scams. Specifical

Yes, or a video editing app that wants you to buy it. I'm not _entirely_ upset Apple is encouraging the market to develop high-quality solutions by allowing them to protect their revenue. But it felt bad as if they were reaching into m

Does the location messaging also feel more prominent to you from the Photos share sheet compared to the native image file picker? For example, that you would see when uploading to the ImgUr site. Mainly top versus bottom placement, I think,

You can also for example just by voice ask the phone to turn off location services, then take your photos. As one can imagine, even when turning location services back on, the photo will never contain location data.

I know which one works better for us. Which works better for grandma? (Of course, Google's move shouldn't have been altruistic, it would have been pragmatic as mentioned elsewhere.) If I got paid a nickel every time someone talked

The hypothetical person we're considering does have an entire life, too. Their rationale may have emerged from careful risk analysis and weighing of opportunity costs.

When you upload the photo, at risk of great confusion they could essentially watermark the photo or add a banner showing the location and perhaps some of the other key details, like camera model, right on the photo so it would at least get

Why does Apple not give that Wi-Fi option there? I mean, is there a reason we’d be sympathetic to?

No way they broke it for Google Photos. Anyone who needs location and doesn’t do cables, or can’t figure this out, can simply subscribe! Can you compress a folder with a photo it and then email that? Just curious.
