If you don't trust the software to do what it says, then none of this matters anyway since they could have added this in silently ages ago or they could push custom firmwares out to targeted individuals to do it. Everything is based on

They show it clearly above the slider when shutting down. Since this is a feature virtually 100% of users want on. This seems appropriate.

For the average user they are the same thing. "off" is not even a state the average user uses. It's either open and connected to the network or closed and in sleep mode.

I would think the normal drain of a battery sitting on the shelf is more than this feature uses.

The security of key fobs is not a great concern when the windows can still be smashed.

It's absolutely a good thing that these cameras are required with how many children are run over frequently as drivers reverse their cars.

It literally tells you about this right next to the slider to turn off. If you tap the message it lets you turn it off. I see absolutely no issues with this.

looks like another 10 years at most going by the current rate. And I expect it will speed up at the end when we reach something like 90% and some sites go v6 only.

I get away from this by just not caring about work or what happens on a personal or emotional level. If I'm getting paid good money and I'm physically comfortable, I'm not really bothered what is going on because I won't

It's not a currency but a utility. You can't buy and hold bandwidth like you can currency.

Yeah I just went from an average Adelaide job to a highish end Melbourne job working remote from Adelaide and the change has been amazing. Almost everyone from my last company just left for remote jobs paying way more.

Companies seem to hand out only crumbs for pay rises but are willing to drop mountains of extra money when hiring fresh people. In 3 years of working at one company, they gave me an extra $20k in pay rises. After leaving that job for anothe

This makes no sense. If you want to hide, just tap the warning and it gives you the option to turn off the feature. So it works best for everyone. The average person can track their stolen phones now. And people hiding from the government c

That has nothing to do with this change. It doesn't even seem like they had their phone turned off for this to be in play anyway. The most likely answer is that they hit a bug in the new update or that they placed their phone off cente

This is sort of more of the same as what I was saying. Android phones have horrible hardware flaws and they don't gain much attention. At the same time as "You are holding it wrong" Nexus 5x phones where bricking due to bad N

Depends on what amounts we are talking. You and the people you know are probably already on the top end of pay and can chose anything. The devs I know saw $40k-$60k AUD pay bumps by switching to remote work for companies in higher paying ar

>But this role wasn’t a fit, and the timing was off. The environment was not correct. The work didn’t have the impact they wanted, finding their dream job instead. Perhaps I was ineffective at communications, championing above, or slow a

It's just another barrier. With enough hassle, people will move to stealing other easier things. When find my was released, phone theft went down massively. Not every criminal wants to make the jump from just grabbing a phone off the t

And for those people, you can turn that setting off. It even warns you about it on the power off screen. If you don't trust the setting to actually turn off, then you shouldn't trust anything about the phone and should smash it up

Almost all of the digs at Apple have been things that apply industry wide and it is an interesting observation. There was one recently worded something like "EU to require Apple to update phones for 7 years" but if you look at the

You can drop the phone in an RF blocking bag if you want to go off the grid.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter anyway. Unless you are the worlds most wanted criminal and Apple is working with the government to track you down via your turned off iphone. And in that case, you should have done your research to s

They have two use cases. You can use it to just click a link and close but the use case they go for is a full social media like reddit where the full features of an SPA make sense. Drive by viewers are probably lowest priority as they do no

These kinds of things never work because people will come up with infinite dog whistle terms for blocked terms. Things like "egg plant", "13%", etc. You couldn't possibly block all of these things without blocking a

Silos work really well. Discord may have literal terrorist / hate groups on it, but as a user I do not see any of it and the platform only contains a group of my friends. There is no marketing, no spam, only content your friends have p

I have done this for years and it just works. You know these users give off a bad vibe and that others are put off by it. Just remove them and ignore the complaints from the user. They can find another space that accepts them. I don't

Eventually someone will come around and build a "Google docs FUSE" tool that stores arbitrary data in your system. I suspect this is the main reason Google switched docs to actually count against your usage. For normal users you c

Only works if it's generic spam not targeted to your site in particular. Otherwise they will just adjust the script to not fill it.

Does it matter when face masks completely cripple facial recognition and are much more acceptable than walking around looking like you have muscle control disorders?
