I deal with our company's 500k+ customers - this tweet would have been a 5 minute email and maybe a slightly short term discount to resolve, perhaps a quick 'mea culpa, we weren't clear; how could we have made part of the TOS

A single complaint means you're a bad customer? It's bad PR for sure, but as far as customers go, this is extremely minor. "Firing" this customer more convinces me the CEO just has no idea how to handle criticism for the

This works if your business model allows you to be selective, but for many companies (big and small) you don't get to choose your customers. Even worse, a lot of times it's not fully bad customers, it's a bad customer attache

Yes, but let's not conflate this specific use case with every day usage. I'm a gigantic privacy advocate and probably senselessly cautious about tons of technologies, but that's the result of a conscious choice. Set and forge

Would have to disagree. With any ad/tracking protection or non-chromium based browsers, the web client is not very good. For MacOS, it constantly requires reloads in order to get different folders, emails, or other basic functionality

Can you elaborate a bit on how anyone "but" Facebook has a bad time by applying the existing regulatory frameworks? You mention itsy-bitsy start-up boards, but really none of the concerns being address in courts world wide have an

Precisely. With any outgoing connection, your phone is constantly looking, reporting, and talking. IIRC, didn't Google (or maybe even some Open Initiative) do a huge mapping of routers based just on the MAC and overlays with GoogleMaps

I think this goes out the window when you have a bad actor making claims as follows: >The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology.

Most companies do not comply with GDPR, and it's not about the minutia, it's about just very basic concepts regarding user data and privacy. I'm a US expat and honestly its extremely frustrating to try to use sites I formerly

That's not the envisioned use case, I guess. From the actual Kali Release Notes, it's specifically about hiding the more iconic parts of Kali for Pen-Testers (logo mostly). So it's a pretty specific use case being considered

I'm mixed on this because while I 100% agree with you, I also don't really think that it will take off beyond a few novelty places where the Hotel + rooms are specifically designed to accommodate an entertaining stream. Think spec

As a manager who might hire you, I would tack on some caution to this advice. This works for smaller businesses that can be flexible and are not really liable/viable targets for anything. Once a business gets even some traction and siz

I partially disagree. The simple truth is that the market for third party non-Apple replacement parts is super sketchy. In the US and other countries where it's convenient to purchase from a reliable site like ifixit, you have legitima

No, that was an example, not a requirement. Google has this history they associate whether or not you have a Google account. The account just solidifies it. You're still being tracked and identified without the account.

This is actually not feasible as a solution because of shadow profiles. Google et. al. track you even when you are not logged in. Simply landing on a page is enough to capture your use habit and infer browsing/purchasing patterns from
