> The narrative that change happens through the mass public getting angry, forcing politicians to respond, is overblown at best. It used to work. As recent as a couple decades ago at least. The Arab spring that swept Middle East and part

I think the bigger point is the lack of trust in our public health rather than laying out the facts. The same way any person who is pro-vax will argue how beneficial it is, is the same way a person who doesn't believe it is beneficial

Maybe the title should read: The average media consumer becomes more news literate. In the advent of social media being a megaphone and a news source nowadays, media organizations ceased to own the monopoly of news. It doesn't help mat

Maybe true, but I at least know in advance that these devices may be collecting data on me. I'd argue that this is mostly opt-in on my end since am fully aware of the data collection and have a rough idea of the extent this is done. Av

Technically, spying on someone involves the element of the subject not knowing that they are being watched. In this case, if you haven't been following this CSAM scandal and making use of iCloud as usual, should Apple turn this enigma

You are on your own here. Every one you'll ever meet on crypto forums is 99% of the time trying to get you to buy whatever shiny butt coin it is that they are holding. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Nothing Apple says about this modern day surveillance tool will make me more accepting of it. If you think this isn't about establishing complete control of your communications, you are a fool. If you think this about protecting the ch

Am sure they have promo videos for their clients (governments/health orgs). Unless there is a direct-to-consumer vaccine on the market that am not aware of.

Ah yes, sorry about that. Had a brain fart moment. I actually meant the chat section on the right was disabled during the live conference. Though, after any ordinary live stream has ended the chats usually are retained as chat history or co

Well that's just your own personal opinion. I consider real time audience feedback to hold some intrinsic value to the live presentation. The fact that you think that enabling comments would result in a net loss means that at the very

They are banking on the power of the normies not being aware of such power tools, let alone having the patience/competence to go through those workarounds. And they are right. Normies don't usually care/bother, they will just

It's kind of funny. I recall watching the recent Apple developer conference live on Youtube and the comments section had been turned off. What are these giant tech companies afraid of?

The TV always has been a stationary device. But now you can carry it with you everywhere you go in the form of a Netflix-capable device ala smartphone/laptop.

Why not use Private DNS feature with an ad-blocking provider like adguard? Not sure if you have the option but you can as well control internet connection per app at the system level too. This last option might be available for android 11+

While true restoring privacy has implicit costs. Maybe the author shouldn't have explicitly mentioned money as one of them. I find costs such as "paying more" because you aren't participating in the ad-tracking carousel.

Okay, maybe it is now time for Biden to agree to a sit down with Putin on this menace. ION We may have underestimated the depth of the solarwind attack back in late last year.

Misinformation and scarcity of quality information on social media platforms was bound to happen when these platforms hit critical mass. Moderating SM is damn near impossible to do effectively. It is also easy to game SM. From fake clicks&#

Hate to break it to ya but the court of public opinion is strongly held by other platforms, most notably Twitter.

This scam is genius if it were targeted selectively to unsuspecting users such as old folks owning Ledger devices. I could totally see why ol grandma would send "back" her device to these crooks.

As a non-American I can tell you how dead wrong this notion is. This might have been true in the mid-2000's when social media was still relatively new (and mostly Western). As it cascaded into other parts of the world, the novelty died

Google failed with glasses. And cars is slightly out of the picture, they don't have any expertise on that front. Apple does one job and does it very well. Commoditize quality hardware options with top-notch user experience.
