On another note, I feel like EVERY day my iPhone asks me if I want to share my location with google. I’ll be searching something in Safari on google that’s obviously location based and I get a dialog that pops up. I have allowed it 100s of

I don’t disagree with the stupidity sometimes but I have probably upwards of 50 lightsbulbs/plugs connected to my echo speakers and use them exclusively for turning on my lamps, dimming lights etc. so I can say confidently, it makes mi

I'm not sure what is being argued by the semantics here but the app store is an important aspect of the device but does that make it not an internet service? An app store by definition is almost a direct equivalent to a web browser. It

Reminds me of the legitimate freeway sign in Sacramento that says “Ocean City MD, 3073 Miles” I never knew the story behind it but apparently they have the same thing there with miles to Sacramento! https://www.capradio.org/

I've had it happen with Verizon. Bought a new iphone directly with Apple, moved the sim over and nothing worked, called Verizon and they said they have to perform some action on their end. Ended up with an activation fee.

Interest rate increases are causing money to move around for sure. I’m just not convinced startups are the primary buyer of these online ads. Hell I would barely even consider them a drop in the bucket. Im sure basically every Fortune 500 a

What makes you think adtech is in a bubble? I only ask because it is has been around for a few decades now, has steadily been on an incline while old advertising methods has slowly been on a decline. Those trends are more likely here to sta

Not to knock on this too hard because it seems cool and useful for 98% of people out there but touch id does have an unfixable vulnerability. If you are security obsessive, maybe no touchid altogether on your mac (I use a token). https:&#x

Apple has a massive hardware moat that will take even secondary players a decade to break into. Every action they take that effects the industry should be taken critically, even if at the surface it appears to be a net positive.
