In all honesty there was a period of time I thought all hope was lost but EU seems to be the last knight standing against these greedy mf.

We all have to bear in mind these lawmakers are fighting against enemies with near limitless resources so give credit where it is due and let's back them up as much as possible!

Imagine if the governments were to fund open source projects when they need and as such the benefit is available to everyone if they have no money.

In such scenario all governments/citizens would have access to software that is good.

Slowly but surely I am coming to the realisation that free services sooner or later will drift away from their privacy claims

I would avoid using an employer supplied device for personal use! More often than not these devices are "managed devices" which consists of management profiles that could grant all sorts of permissions from normal diagnostics, restrictions to location, camera and more!

With that said Apple in such case would become the middle man in relatio to the transaction! That means that Apple pay would retain the purchase logs on your card and send a apple.com description to your bank to mask all your purchases! In theory you'd be given more privacy in relation to your bank but you'd be introducing a third party in the process and more potential failure points!

Surprise surprise!

Ownership no longer has the same definition in the eyes of corporations and governments!

As concerning as that is, more so is the fact that the same infrastructure could be used for malicious intentions. That is ransomware level of control they reserve simply because they manufacture these devices.

You sir, understand the importance of allowing a child to go through their wrongs at the right time with the right guidance which is quite rare!

I doubt it would have been discovered this fast and easily if it was closed source.

One can never expect power of any kind to not be abused!

I'll take the trial sometime and see if I should drop the cents

What's the damage that this will cause?

As expected the document is filled with excessive bloat about cybersecurity and it's damages to the point most would be brainwashed before the final sentence.

The developer was threatened with legal action I last read so he was forced to takedown.

Greatest wars took place courtesy of minor mishaps!

I presumed exess media attention to the matter pushed them towards this response.

This was first page. Around 10-15 mark.

I've meditated about this a while now! Imagine the amount of electronic waste produced by planned obsolescence! You have a phone, TV, car and much more that could be diagnosed, repaired and reused for same or all different use cases.

All those phones that still are running LineageOS perfectly fine that could be used by the elderly who need not have much more than basic communication.

Is this true?

I wouldn't expect Japan to do such thing frankly.

If they attempt to pull me into such topic I make them accept my terms and conditions first

Ohh yeah, gotta think about children's safety online.
