Not exactly though because Apple has been given the benefit of copyrights and patents.
You are just not going to be happy until my iPhone scams / steals a ton of money from me.
If that happens one day in the future, I hope I can hold you accountable. But alas, I am certain you know how to hide very well.
You seem to implicitly - or perhaps explicitly - assume that the manufacturer has the right to control the product, and the users' experience of it, after the customer has paid for it.
You seem to assume that after it was sold to you, Apple has an obligation to add features.
You want to side load, add it yourself.
Users should decide, period.
And they did already, with their wallet.
With no gun against their head.
I read "victory for privacy" as "victory for piracy".
The only interaction I have ever encountered with a user of proton mail was when the proton user scammed my daughter out of a money (think $$$$).
WHat makes you think they don't do this already?
Back in the 80s I was a submariner in the US Navy stationed in Norfolk VA. The parking lots ran right up to the piers. I always thought it funny that the closest parking spots were all handicapped.
I wondered how the handicapped person got into the submarine with his wheelchair.
A union can also help with the understaffing problem.
By converting the understaffed problem into an overstaffed problem?
I would mind being a "mindless vegetable", but if I were a "mindless vegetable" would I mind?
You could read that??
I have had 6 surgeries on my left knee.
On my right knee, I once wrote "Other knee".
Another time I wrote "Why did you look here?".
I thought that every time I have done an update, I am required to input my PIN.
How can they update the OS if the phone requires the PIN?
Apple should tell the FBI, that it will take 15 months to develop the new custom OS.
Might not be so expensive as you thought?
I had a credit card hacked once. The person used it to pay for a lot of crap on iTunes. When I called Apple support, the said that the credit card was attached to a different account. So when the support person wanted to validate who I was, she asked me for the answers to my secret questions. I had scrambled answers like you describe. I also always use the maximum number of characters that the field (or rule) will allow. About 50 characters into it, she said she knew it was me.
"... In the U.S. alone, 79 million people are infected with HPV. That’s more than a quarter of the entire population. Fourteen million new cases crop up every year. Gardasil can substantially cut those numbers back—it’s working, and working well, in the U.S. and Australia—but not if the fearmongering falsehoods by anti-vaxxers get traction."
Isn't it odd that we'll do everything we can to focus on the vaccination and those who might be affecting that profit stream, all while ignoring the root cause and ever-growing infection rate.
Yeah, there's a fucking herd of elephants standing in the room, but they're making us a shitload of money, so...
I question the 79 million people being infected. Per the CDC site, in the summary:
How do I know if I have HPV?
There is no test to find out a person’s “HPV status.” Also, there is no approved HPV test to find HPV in the mouth or throat.
So if there is no way to know if someone has HPV, then how the fuck can there be a count of the people with HPV.?
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
