Now we are ready to sail for the Horn

Weigh hey, roll and go!

Our boots and our clothes, boys, are all in the pawn

To be rollicking randy dandy-oh!

I’ll copy my comment to another post with a similar/same article:

Definitely not new and the way the articles headlined I thought there was some sort of ad in iOS that was blatant that I hadn’t noticed.

Using the same language as the article (not very accurate) “iOS users don’t use the settings app and won’t see ads.”

Just to be clear for those that wooshed; people do go into settings but it’s not like every user is staring at the settings app everyday. The ads also aren’t very intrusive, so comparing them to the Windows start menu ads, which the article does, is ridiculous.

In summary; ads are bad and crap sensationalist reporting is also bad.

If I travel overseas in the future I’ll be doing a full backup and wipe of my phone. Take my holiday pics or whatever and transfer and restore everything when I get back.

Even Australia is starting to make deals with groups to take complete copies of devices at the border. Screw that! I’ll at least try to limit what they can get.

If you’re depending on your smartwatch to tell you the truth about how many calories you burned during a workout — well, don’t.

Article straight to the point, I like it.

I have an Apple Watch and one of the main reasons I have it is the health tracking. That being said; no one should be under the impression that a wrist mounted wearable is going to be close to 100% accurate. It’s good as a guide and self comparison, but that’s about it.

So what I’m hearing is that theft doesn’t exist if no one is caught. Right? Supermarket chains etc. complaining of theft from any source other than recovered goods from said theft should be null and void.

This is a problem I have with tech YouTubers and how they often compare phones directly with last years model. It’s always inevitably not worth upgrading from their POV. For a while there MKBHD would compare the new model to a, I’m guessing a little, 3 year old model which is much more realistic since most people aren’t upgrading sooner than that.

Do they though? As a side note, I read the documentation for the proposed system of scanning and it was actually really well designed for privacy. The problem was if they were forced to expand the scope to include other material such as, for example, proof of protest against a regime.
