Apple’s Mistake 5 years ago

Sounds like a great way to attack a target and destroy their life. Most people have no idea how many or what photos are on their devices.

1) Either get photos on their phone with the correct HASH, or get some photos that are already on their phone into the HASH list. 2) FBI will be quietly informed by Apple. 3) FBI shows up one day at the targets home or work. They confiscates all electronic devices and ruins that persons life.

I am sure the product people at Apple are seeing $$$

1) Scan devices for copyrighted music, to play your music you need to have it purchased on Apple 2) Scan devices for copyrighted videos, to play your video you need to have it purchased on Apple 3) Scan devices for copyrighted photos, purchase an Apple license to use this photo 4) Scan devices for copyrighted text, purchase an Apple license to use this text

"Banks haven't been allowed to monetize their KYC data"?

I work for a major US Bank and they are most definitely monetizing KYC data, in fact we have made several billion dollar acquisitions just to scoop peoples data.

The platform being used for organizing potential mass murder of targeted groups. If the screenshots are correct of what I have seen then AWS had no choice. They would have been liable if something really bad happened and was made aware of this before it happened. Parler has no monitoring of this activity and that is why everyone shut them down once it was exposed.

I had to replace my pair of $250 shoes every 3 to 4 months once I started running 50KM a week. The waste factor of having to throw those shoes out every time. Seems like I went though much more rubber than the 4 tires on my car over the lifetime of the tires of around 60,000KM

Roblox S-1 6 years ago

My kids have access to some of the best games in their Steam library, but most of the time they prefer to discover new games on Roblox. I just hope they don't force advertising into the Roblox worlds, that would destroy the experience.

Apple will come out with an "enhanced" charger for $100. Then update all phones to slow charge anything that is not the "enhanced" charger. Then repeat again in 3 to 5 years.

For 15 years I bought nothing but Apple products and then kicked the habit. My bank account appreciates no longer having that addiction. Now that I have a clear head I can see the many ways they just suck more money from the Apple fans.

This is how you do a W-shaped recovery , the economic fallout of giving money away will have a secondary recession effect. Can't just print money and give it to your citizens for an extended time, otherwise all economic theory should just be tossed out the window.
