If we agree that data will be collected whatever laws we put in place, under the same premises can’t we agree that it will be misused as well ? Problem with laws to me is that they are only binding to some portion of the actors. Some govern

The point is not security though, but privacy. At its base privacy is obscurity. Also you seem to advocate for every single individual to run a race against the rest of the world to not misuse their data. We both wish there was decent safeg

Google Photo is good at this, picking past photos from these thousands and surfacing them at random times. This effectively motivates to also take photos of mundane day to day moments, that will feel so far away in 5 or 10 years.

I read parent’s comment as a plea to be simple where it’s allowed. For instance use straight timestamps where there is no need for calendar manipulations. I am sympathic to this argument and I’d also totally join a movement to ignore DST or

It's a fair take though. macOS is a product on its own, especially if you come from the hardware pespective, wanting for instance a iMac Pro and seeing the OS that comes with it as a glorified hardware manager. Is macOS Catalina the be

I guess it comes out so terrible because Lebron has been very vocal on many other civil matters, and has labelled himself as someone who speaks his beliefs. From his past positions people would have expected him to be pro-HK, instead he’s a

Things are not so simple as the pilots knowing everything and just hiding the truth. They still identified there was an issue, but couldn’t match it to MCAS as they didn’t know about it, and misattributed the effects to a simulator error.

It only impacts individual vehicle’s maximum ability, not counting the horns and other sound warnings. It’s still a hell of a noise when you have intermitent traffic mixed with ponctual congestion.

I think it’s worse than that. As far as I remember Jphone, the company first heavily advertising camera phones, forced the shutter on its own to preemptively clear itself from any potential issue. Every phone carrier from there had the choi

It’s a touchy subject so usually not documented. On the softer side, shutter sound can’t be muted on the camera app for JP sold iPhones, I can’t find any offical doc (not customer discussion) mentioning it. edit: there was some doc, just wi

I understand the iPhone 8 body report, but think Apple's attempt would be misguided if it's intended as a SE successor. To put it in perspective, the iPhone SE was announced in 2016, after the iPhone 6 (and ends up being the same

This is true for photoshop, but for any other piece of software (le’ts say Outlook), just not getting security updates would be a huge deal. Also I wonder if DRM servers stay available in this case. If not, it could stop any new installs, o
