Maybe it was/is a dud for COVID-19, but there does appear to be many gains from this outside of COVID-19. Infectious diseases that ARE highly transmissible on contact has been dramatically reduced. Am I suggesting we continue with this

It does say that, but it's also a very clear and bold "Data Not Collected" See screenshot: https://share.barkerja.dev/4vgEhw.jpeg

They do, actually. If you look up the Halide camera app, you'll see a great example of this.

Not sure what you're referring to, but Safari has three configurable options for auto-play: - Allow All Auto-Play - Stop Media with Sound - Never Auto-Play This can be configured on a global level, or on a site-by-site basis.

We've had nearly 3 million cases with over 130k fatalities. If the numbers are being grossly underreported, then it's certainly possible the mortality rate is < 1%, but given the numbers we have now, our mortality rate is close

They don't, the user controls this. When the user authorizes the client, they have the option to share their actual Apple ID email or use an obfuscated one. Apple isn't forcing anything here.

I believe that org restriction applies only to third-party application. This app is a first-party app.

That's a bold statement. Anecdotally, I know of no one that relies entirely on mobile connectivity for their home. While mobile internet may be becoming faster, it's still severely hindered by data caps and throttling.

Personally, I find having a space dedicated to work helps tremendously with this. When I am in my "office" at home, I am working. When I leave the office, I am not working. Having that separation helps me "leave work" wh

I don't think it's so much a privacy concern (it certainly is), but more with regards to accidental triggers by actions that are passive and flaky. Location accuracy isn't always the greatest, particularly indoors; in-and-out

That's true about the potential for bad actor, but it's also true for many false positives. Passive automations based on location, bluetooth, wifi, etc. stand a good chance of many accidental triggers. Connections are flaky, locat

My little village (around ~1200 people I believe) in Central New York is currently exploring its own municipality owned internet. They sent out surveys to all the residents a few months back to see if there's a large enough interest.

Heh, in a way. But I do give a lot of credit to Github for exposing me to some really cool and interesting projects. It does a decent job of knowing what I consider relevant, and surfacing projects/humans that fit the bill.

I'm not currently using Gitlab anymore, but in the past, it was their CI that won me over. I was always felt left wanting more though because there wasn't a true sense of community/explore. If there's one thing I value m

Any time I'm about to go through security, I long-press the volume and side buttons which immmediately activates the requirement for passcode to unlock. It's a quick and easy shortcut to enable the passcode requirement.

It wouldn't be a wise decision; what if they one day decide to enter into live programming (sports, news, etc.), where latency does matter?

How would this work when a team member attempts to screen share or video/audio call?

Well, to be fair, it is much more than just a "chat application". It's now voice, screen sharing, etc. They've built a lot of features with chat being at the core.

Fair enough, but it does appear Apple is committed to HomeKit; this marks the third year in a row they've made major strides and improvements, with this year being the biggest in terms of licensing and implementation.
