I've read so many accounts of people with Ring footage of a theft who tried to give it to the police and they refused to even look at it.

It’s even worse than that. I showed them two sets of camera footage of staff in my retail shop stealing from the cash register, and tallied it up my accounts to prove the amount…and CPS said “not enough evidence”. The camera footage was so clear you could see the 20 on the notes.

Swiping down on my home screen gives search suggestions but no inline results. Clicking on those takes me to Kagi in safari.

Swiping down doesn’t work, it’s in-browser only in the address bar. As for in safari, I don’t get options, but if the extension is enabled it redirects the search to Kagi.

Kagi search has an extension. Maybe you could do something similar. It’s on the iOS store under kagi-search-for-safari.

Funny thing about software is it costs money to produce and maintain. Another funny thing, is it runs on hardware which also isn’t free to buy or maintain. At Apple scale, that means for every new app or update, they need to compile it, scan it, pass it off for checks and then distribute it globally. That will be done many many many times a second. On top of that they have to maintain a payment system that I’ve not once seen go down or had a problem with. Then they need to handle fraud, payment refund requests through support etc.

All I’m getting at, is it’s naive to boil what they do for that 30% down to “they automate some software”.

These problems can drive you nuts sometimes. I recently spent a day trying to figure out why I could use webrtc between node processes (with an automated playwright script) on my local machine, but the docker container versions refused to see my virtual sound card or mic.

Oh...I missed that small note that said “Chrome will only allow this over https, unless it’s localhost”!

I think the difference stated above, was that for messaging, calls and other phone related activities it’s not sent. I’m not sure you can say the same for Google.

Organising skilled workers and incentivising them to work towards providing sustenance and protection for teams I would coordinate. Arranging transport mechanisms to gathering teams, who would scout local areas for useful items and retrieve them. Disciplining rogue workers who fall out of line with a wooden apparatus wrapped in some form of sharp metal wire, of which I may give a cute name to make it even scarier.

Just a quick note about the passwords. If a bad actor steals your Facebook password and then messages all your contacts saying he (you) is on holiday and his cards have been stolen, but PayPal is accepted at the local restaurant...could he lend you some money until you get back. Are you bothered now you know that your friends are protected by that password too?

If you listen to the audio recording, it couldn't be more fair. His account was linked (same bank account and same test devices) to an account that was fraudulent. All he has to do is write a blog post that says that, not that he did anything wrong...but the facts. Simple. No character assassination, no accusations, just the truth.
