It's meant to be a joke, it clearly didn't land like I thought, oh well.

The new map has no terrain detail, so I, jokingly, took to mean that they literally flatted out the terrain. Which would cause all sorts of climate change.

I just tell them I don't like these apps scanning pictures of my kids and knowing their exact location at all times. My phone also has a lot of my kids pictures that I don't want being scanned for AI.

If a 40year old man had constant microphone, camera and GPS access to my kids, I'd be justified to go buy a gun. Why should a "corporation" be treated any different?

And privacy is not about hiding, it's about keeping nosey people out of our lives. Like closing the windows when you're talking about your finances so the neighbors can't hear. You're not hiding anything illegal, you just don't want strangers to know every detail of your life.

It sounds like you dogged a bullet. Management didn't try to reach out to you at all in that hour to ask where you were? They didn't see the email and figure out it was technical hiccup and reschedule the interview?

Well of course major climate change occurs when you flatten all the terrain.

I hate modern graphics, it sucked the art out of everything digital.

I like McMaster-Carr, it’s the greatest catalog of industrial supplies.

Also the markup on the first cutters that showed up is insane. $90 on McMaster, only $57 at home deopt

Next update? No, it’s re-enabled automatically when ever you have an important conversation, that way you can’t forget to turn it back on!

I hate what google has become.

Beep must have written the bot.

Gas pump ads are the worst. I stopped going to a station because they couldn't be muted, and they're the ads that scream at you or brain rot craft videos. I wouldn't have minded so much if was only the "good news" segment or usefull PSAs. But yelling at me at 7am to buy beef jerky is not okay.

If a person came up to you at the pump and offered a flyer, that's okay. But if they started screaming at you to buy their shit, that'd be harassment. Gas pumps should not be allowed to "harass" people.

So we can ship it tomorrow? Great I just told the investors, so we're now leagly obligated to ship it tomorrow.

This is like if Walmart started policing what products Target can sell and policing what products can go into your house, while not bothering to police their own store.

I'm gonna be honest here, sounds like you need to be more selective in who you trust for your various services.

The way you describe these people, it sounds like you're going with your "uncles friend" type of people or the trashy companies that are ran by someone pushing their staff to do quick/slop jobs for high profit.

Get that exterior worker to small claims before their business mysteriously dissolves into oblivion.

You can can give me a million dollars to paint your ceiling, but that's not going to make me Michelangelo.

You need to find the people that take actual pride in their work, which is incredibly hard to do. Failing that, the established businesses that stand behind their work. If that autobody tech doesn't warranty the paint job, they aren't worth your business. If the guy re-fixing the drains is covering it on their own dime and making it right without a fuss, then that's something to remember next time. Everyone makes mistakes, its how they handle them after the fact that's important.

FBI open up! It sounds like trying you're to steal lots of data in a few seconds before either the computer kicks you out, or someone returns to their desk. If you're not staring in a "hacker" movie, 10GBs on a modern usb stick should only take a few minutes, go get a coffee or something while you wait.

For purely educational purposes, If a 3.0 usb drive isn't fast enough you'll need an external SSD which will have significantly faster write times. Be wary of vauge marketing like "fast", 30MB/s was "fast" 20 years ago. You want the actual to find the spec for write speed, simply put, a higher number is better. Find the highest number, but also be wary of absurd claims. Try to find independent tests/research that support a manufacture's claim.

That being said, you're also limited by the computer's usb capabilites and whatever drive that has. Make sure you're plugging into a usb 3.0 port or better. Additionally, if the data is on a slow drive, there's nothing you can do about that. If the data is comprised of a lot small files, it will be slower to copy as the system has to process each one.

I hope you enjoyed this educational exercise; and remeber kids, don't do crime and if you get caught, you don't know me!

Good. If they want security, hire security. No store clerk should be expected to intervene. Most they should be responsible for is keeping them self safe and and calling a manager/police once its safe for them to do.

what did I just read? That woman needs to dump that boy. That boy needs reeducation on basic cleaning.

This gives the same vibes as "I don't wash my privates because it's gay".

Meanwhile Windows; Hi, you saved a file earlier? Let's search for it. Nope, can't find it, do you want to search Bing? No? [A few minutes later] Ooo, so sorry you're offline and can't download it. Too bad.

Ios; you want to open the file in an app? OK, click 7 buttons and we'll make a local copy stored in the app's specific folder you didn't know existed.

Chrome; what's a file?

Linux; which file browser would you like to use today?

The headline/title needs to be extended to include the rest of the sentence

"and then sent them to a minor"

Yes, this sicko needs to be punished. Any attempt to make him the victim of " the big bad government" is manipulative at best.

Edit: made the quote bigger for better visibility.

Am I just missing it, or is there no list of of these infected apps on the posted article or the reference the article links to. To me, that is the most important information.

This isn't new at all. Apple has been consistent with long term updates for a while.

iPhones have been getting at least 5 major annual updates sense the iPhone 4. The average is 6 updates.

If anything, it gets to a point where the old hardware can barley handle the newer OS.

This is the equivalent of them promising to be called Apple in 5 years - it changes absolutly nothing.

Edit: thinking about it, this gives them an excuse to reduce the number of years they support phones. Instead of 6-7, can we now expect that to become only 5 years?

This could be a huge loss disguised as a win

"Even if they are not linked, services can still share data" Isn't that the whole point!?
