Deeply. Between gmail’s the auto-reply that tries to anticipate how I would respond to an email and the material in this video, I motivated to get off of gmail and all google products. I can appreciate that they were disappointed in the el

Sim locking is a device-side control that ensures only a specific carrier’s sim is used in the device. They should have used a limited IoT-oriented sim with data limits. I kinda feel these folks were extraordinarily naive, but I’m coming fr

Every time you log data to solve a problem, you now need to review and decide if that data needs to be accessible for review and deletion. It is a blocker that slows down your efforts to work on the next feature. It is not hacker friendly.

Trade bodies like the GSMA are constantly at risk of collusion accusations. Most meetings on these types of bodies start with reminders about the anti trust rules and what types of discussion are not allowed. It isn’t surprising that they
