that's great, as long as you trust that SuperSU has zero bugs.
it's the difference between having a brick wall, and having a brick wall with a locked door. if you absolutely don't want people to get in, don't build a door in the first place.
Rooting will allow you to remove unwanted apps that are locked on by the manufacture or carrier
on any semi-modern version of android you can already do that. you can "disable" any app to keep it from running, ever. the bits are however still there, but they aren't taking up RAM so it does not matter (they are included in the firmware).
and this requires root, which is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. as soon as you root, the entire sandbox runtime model is out the window.
ah i bet your mom and dad told you how special you were all the time didn't they?
if someone wants to record me, i'd be quite flattered. the reality is that no one wants to record me (or you) because we are nobodies. thinking otherwise is narcissism at it's best.
if you are going to have rules about phone / device usage, they have to be black and white. you can't tell someone that they can use their phone, but not too long and how bright is too bright? everyone has an answer to that, and they are all different.
sort of like deciding not to set a speed limit and asking people not to go too fast.
Comcast will begin activating a feature in its Arris Touchstone Telephony Wireless Gateway Modems that sets up a public Wi-Fi hotspot alongside a residential Internet customer’s private home network. Other Comcast customers will be able to log in to the hotspots for free
there you go.
why is this so complicated? comcast knows when you are at home, and when you are "roaming" on to other customers' wifi hotspots (because they make you login to them). wherever you are, your cap is applied to your account.
no, i don't have any special knowledge here, it just HAS to work that way or it's ripe for abuse.
Secondly, how are the clients being compensated for the hotspot service they are now providing?
with every day low, low prices on comcast internet service.
Generally, I've found this to be true. Their business model does not depend on a lack of customer privacy like Google.
you have it wrong. what apple cares about is not letting other people make money by skimming off of their business.
You don't get it.
no, you.
Humans can have mercy
yeah, but they mostly don't. however, they often do have fear, loathing, hatred, frustration, ignorance, racism, and boredom.
wow. heavy man.
Nuclear weapons were supposed to end wars, at least that was the sales pitch.
the one time they were used, they did.
We now have robots that can decide to kill. Do we really want those? See what happened when you had drones shoot missiles at people? A lot of weddings got bombed.
ya, i want them. all things being equal, computers make fewer mistakes than humans. also, the algorithms of a computer can be tested, evaluated and approved (or denied).
if you are going to make the "well computers can be coded to bad things" argument, then i'd say well, humans can be (easily) persuaded to do bad things. it ultimately depends on the agent pulling the proverbial strings, not whether the puppet is made of meat or electronics.
The problem is not who controls the strings, it is what happens when the strings are no longer needed.
it sure the hell is a problem of who controls the strings. what are you saying? if it's some corrupt govt directing machines to kill us, no problem?
personally i'd rather be killed by a runaway machine than because i got in the way of some corporation trying to make a buck.
Plenty of first-hand observations in this thread tell you that you're flat out wrong.
zero actual incidents of plane crashes confirms that you are wrong.
The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
