I honestly don't care about that at all. Noone I know really cares about that so I would say the "majority" really depends on your social bubble :-) Right now I care whether we will get nuked. Everything else is a worry for a

The "fun" begins. I don't think that Ukrainians will stop so we'll have to see how Russia will react when they start taking it back. Quite a time to be alive, eh?

Honestly I have uBlock set in a way that blocks most of this stuff by default. I have several "steps" of permissivity: 1) (default) block all JS completely 2) Block 3rd party js 3) Permit all js (rare) If the web fails to render i

Yeah, but it does not make it worthless at all... Even broken logic board is worth quite a lot so this argument is really more of a wishfull thinking than a reality.

Well, I can turn Find My off. I cannot reset this crap. Also it makes zero difference in stealing an iPhone as even iCloud locked iPhone is easily useable for parts. So no, it is not like that at all.

World war by itself would benefit military industry directly. That's not saying that they wish for WW3 in any means as the destruction (or crippling) of society would be huge and it would take many years to recover. WW3 does not neces

UA fights for its national identitiy - they ultimately have everything to lose.

If I had to guess (and I'm really hoping that I'm wrong) I'd say that RUS will use small tactical nuclear weapons on UA which will trigger NATO response. Either direct on indirect but with such impact that it will not matter

I'd guess that this will end much sooner than it will come to pure population numbers on RUS/UA side of things. But the prospect of full blown WW3 is now much more real than it was a month ago, that's for sure.

Wow that strawman is really quite poor. I really hope you can do better than that... If you want a Ferrari, go buy one. They have quite long waiting lists from what I've heard. edit: In order not to be completely off topic: Apple mig

I can but unless you can help me, what's the point? Just to convince you? I have no vested interest in Apple - emotional or financial and thus I have no interest in fighting for (or against) Apple (or Android) fans. By your own indirec

Apple does not do this for security but just to piss user off - hence disabling the TrueTone & autobacklight features. These features are hardly anything that could be argued is "security relevant". I mean would you really vel

If they sold the parts outright with resonable pricing as any other manufacturer I don't think there would be any reason for supply chain leaks... Why would it be any different for Apple?

For example swapped LCD will disable truetone and in iPhone 14 reportedly auto brightness. Battery will lock out "battery health". Rear facing camera will glitch out (I think it will not do video and it will reduce framerate drama

Honestly anyone can screw up during re-sealing step. It is not really that hard to do correctly but if you don't follow the procedure correctly, new adhesive will stick somewhat but will not be as strong as before. The thing is that

As I said somewhere else, it probably depends on your location. This also applies not only to the battery replacement but for screen as well. I've had to do that also and it also was not a 30 minute repair unfortunately. If it was, I

I'd say it depends on brand of pre-cut adhesive seal you use. But normally (and if done correctly) it is watertight and opens +- the same.
