Indeed, and you aren't consenting to Apple sharing such data by installing/using Threads. The privacy label he showed is something Apple requires apps to do to indicate what data they may collect and what they share. Meta has basi

Could you propose a way to do this? Looking for anything that resembles PII on-screen and cutting off network access, perhaps?

Other than instants in time and durations, other expressions of time information tend to be a bit more "wibbly wobbly, timey wimey". For instance, I might specify the week of the year without any more precision. Another example is

A self-contained full implementation of ISO 8601 is of dubious value anyway. Whether time is used for a private application or for a standard, the important part is the agreement on what information is being conveyed and in what format. Rec

My experience - smart TVs tend to be really bad at CEC during power on, because they are booting while the other device is asking them to execute commands like switching input. I usually set the TV to 'last input on boot' if such

Ahh you're right, I thought it was 2017 for the Vulkan 1.0 release. My understanding is still that Metal was released on iOS months before AMD's Mantle API was accepted as the start of Vulkan work.

I wouldn't consider it a truism just by the use of words like 'more' and 'fewer'. But since you gave an example, I will give a counterexample. I'm at the point where I will not contribute to projects with copyr
