Comment "de-escalation tactics" (Score 1) 129

I'm sure we've all see the YouTube videos of how police in the US choose "de-escalation tactics" over "respect my authority" and "stop resisting". Now that this is established in one police force, I expect this will spread across the nation. Also when an innocent person is killed by a robot, and it will happen sooner or later, how do we get the badge # of the operator? Who will be held accountable? This is a great way for the police to be even more anonymous, and it will be abused and will escalate, because cops are cops.

Comment Apple sued for tracking users' activity (Score 3, Interesting) 139

...even when turned off in settings. https://mashable.com/article/a... Apple simply tracks user behaviour themselves to boost their own advertising platform. Just like Google. And, just like Google, they aren't doing what they say they are doing when it comes to user privacy. TL/DR: Apple is just another megacorp who will do anything it thinks it can get away with to make money.

Seriously, what is the advantage of an iPhone these days

1. Less tracking 2. Less malware 3. Much better integration with MacOS 4. Simpler, more intuitive interfaces

I use an iPhone mostly because of #3 and because it was free (my daughter gave it to me when she upgraded).
