Well last time I got angry down votes for saying this. But you are really renting if apple can lock you out. My non technical wife managed to lock herself out of her device and icloud with no recourse as I didn't preserve the reciept.

I don't support it either. However, this entire thread is a discussion on justfying the "deplatforming" by tech giants to uphold democracy. Why these giants act so one-sided is my confusion.

Why you think killing random innocent on the street, burning private properties is ok but storming a government building is not? Killing random people to make a political statement is terrorism. Isn't it?

You bet :) At the beginning of this lockdown I was excited about how great it will be to dedicate commute time to hobbies. With kids at home only time I get is @ 1 AM.

I agree consumer market doesn't exist because everyone is seduced by the cloud nowadays. Having said that supposed guarantees provided by these companies should not translate into blind and complete trust. A single bad bug or security

Exactly I don't understand this idea that paying mean they won't track you. IMHO unless strong legislation and its enforcement comes into effect, nothing will change.

If I lose the keys to my home, I can break the lock or if required break the door and get into my house so why I can't reset and reconfigure my iPhone?

That's an apples to oranges comparison (pun intended). If I forget passcode my device, why I shouldn't be allowed to reset and configure it from scratch if I am willing to lose my data? There can be numerous situations in which t

In my experience letters A-Z doesn't capture the whole gamut of utterances used in the language. Most languages use more sounds than 26 letters can capture. I don't know about Turkish or Romanian so can't say. As an example m

Thanks for asking this question. However, sample size is pretty large. There is a whole community of Sadhus and monks practising this for centuries. This is simply a part of Yoga. Sample size seems small because Wim wants to hide his source
