I was thinking along similar lines. Apple needs to implement "remote brick" that pops internal fuses and wipes the storage. Make it a valueless slab of silicon and metal.

I don't want a home cine. I just want to hook up my TV and watch movies on it like we always did in the 1980's and 1990's. I don't want to have to do advanced research to be able to hear. My dad and my father-in-law really don't want to have to do research.

The results most people are looking for is not theater quality surround sound.

Adopting socialism to own the Sauds.

Who cares if the Saudis "win"?

The episode is "presented by Geico" because it costs CBS so much to host the video at Youtube. Geico presumably paid the costs.

Bitcoin Gold is a fork of the original Bitcoin. Don't use it unless you know what you're doing.

Ok boomer.

Texting before/instead of calling isn't cumbersome. It's just good manners because me having to interrupt what I'm doing to take a phone call is insanely cumbersome. If you're calling out of the blue it had better be because somebody is dead. If not, send a text. And don't text to say "call me" - say what you want to talk about, so I can prioritize it.

I am not a cinemaphile at all, and I've noticed it. "Hey, why the heck does this show look like a soap opera? What gives?"

If both Trump and the democrats are criticizing this and talking about regulating or prohibiting it, we should be extremely suspicious. Anything the government dislikes that much is bad for them and good for us.

Twitter is down, and I didn't know what to do with myself, so I came here.

The cost of file sharing is much more sustainable. We should eliminate copyright so libraries can make video works available to everybody.

I used to patrol Wikipedia getting rid of self promotion and spam. But I got tired of dealing with Wikipedia policies being so ridiculous.

Also, on Android there's already a great app called Screentime that parents can use to manage their children's devices. I think it's pretty lousy and hypocritical of Apple to introduce a similar feature with the exact same name. Do they believe in intellectual property and trademarks or not? Do they want theirs respected?

This sounds a little bit confused and muddled. I can't tell if the motivation here is:

1. App developers might be spying on your kids
2. Apple already has a feature to do this and doesn't want competition.
3. It's legitimate for a business to know everything that happens on their devices, but not legitimate for a parent to know everything that happens on their child's devices.

None of those endears Apple to me, and my wife just read this story and said, "Well, that seals it - our kids won't have any Apple devices."

I've enjoyed AmazonBasics mice, keyboards, and USB cables. Can't speak for the rest of their line.
