Shut down the apps that you are not using or else the iPhone gets slower and slower. That's why there is a difference between older non multitasking phones and new ones. Double click the button and see how much crap is still running. Better than restarting every few days.

The average smartphone will die in a day if you run FM radio, a real battery powered FM radio is the thing to have when things go to Sh!t

I'd say that 99 percent of the population won't change because they don't care about ES. They think more about colour change dresses than online privacy.

firstly, we are finally getting Netflix etc in Oz, although it won't be the same as in the USA. As for blocking sites, I guess that no-one is going to give up their VPN anytime soon.

I can't see that these companies can be so valuable.

although traditional watches may take a hit over the coming years, digital watches caused a stir, but analog mechanical watches still survive. The Swiss can't hold onto the market forever, and I think they lost it years ago. As for the Apple watch, daily recharge? cmon people, you can do better.

if it doesn't suit you, DON'T buy one. They currently list 6 laptops, 4 are the same price or cheaper.

Are you saying that no one should collect data? ES has gone past the exposure of local collection and into a world which he judges is wrong but is a realistic function of government bodies, what is next? Can't read foreign newspapers or listen to local radios. As for the shill label, if that's your only comeback, you haven't given this whole issue much thought.

not sure how packet injection breaks into my computer.

submit, earthlings, and I will rule you all as a benevolent dictator.

I also have cancer, leave those behind in as good a financial position as you can, point out the need to balance geek with old fashioned fun like sports or crafts, tell them not to sweat over the small stuff in life. Talk about you not being around and any plans that you are making, don't hide the fact that are going the die, sorry for being blunt, but that's the way that I have done it. Also, don't rely on technology, put stuff in a book that can be read any one at any future time, your grandkids will want to know about you too. Good luck mate.

Sony makes great electronics, why dump them for some shitty console?

while most people here are blaming the Government, remember that they acted on the advice of others, which have made themselves rich handing out crap advice. BTW, this current advice is still no reason to pig out on fried eggs and greasy bacon. :-)
