I'm saying that their automated tools can't tell the difference between 'normal' and 'fake' use. And the fact that I'm still using my dummy account is proof
Oh I'm sorry you're a German living in a utopia? This clearly doesn't apply to you. You should just do whatever your government tells you. Turn off the camera, hand over the guns and get on the train. Everything will be Ok.
The rationale over decency and empathy for victims is a cover. What this does is prevent government workers from the accountability cellphone video can provide. Soon enough those QR codes will be on uniforms of emergency workers, and you won't be able to document incidents similar to George Floyd's death.
I don't think that's true. They don't have time to police billions of facebook accounts for 'normal' behavior. I'll friend a few random people. In the super unlikely worst case I'm out $300 but probably so is FB. It's in their interests to collect data and sell it under the fake name I gave. Only if I explicitly state to them the name is fake do they lose out. They don't ask and I won't tell and the advertisers will purchase shit. Win, win, win.
I created an email alias on my domain to start the FB account. Works fine, not banned. If they get data to sell, probably they don't care. I can run credit card payments on the store as well.
Funny I just setup my Quest 2 today. Made a fresh facebook account with a new email and chose a fake name and birthday. Breaking the FB ToS is NOT a crime. Why would anyone pay an extra $500, and then $180/yr when the worst that can happen is the $300 headset gets bricked/banned? This is a stupidity tax.
What a terrible idea. Yes key escrow is a NSA agenda they have been trying to sneak into our stack for quite some time. As if the NSA hadn't done enough damage to the cloud industry, now they are trying this shit again. American IT products are going to be totally unmarketable outside of the US. The trust is gone. The day any corporation adopts this stance is the day I ditch them. I will literally throw my iPad in the trash. Apple and Google will entirely lose the leverage their ecosystems provide if they try this.
Dont know if I buy this. The whole DEA cant crack imessage was a PR stunt. I think they are lying together. The trust is gone.
Just using encryption isnt enough, it has to be open source and verifiable. Neither Apple or Google are there. Google has a anti privacy agenda, and Apple is closed source.
Pfft had this in 2004 with a PCengines wrap running slackware and scripts. The slurpr was a later commercial attempt. And don't forget the wifi pineappple
Totally agree. Its security theater. I don't believe for one second its a sincere gesture. I would definitely not want to use a open source security project google got involved in. Its obviously an attempt to get a influence in tomorrows secure infrastructure such that it does not cut google out of the data their business depends on. Your.. private... data.
See the problem here is google and apple and were caught lying over PRISM. So we can't believe anything they say. They are in a unrecoverable position of broken trust. Until I see open source code its just hot air.
No they cant - because they have been grossly overcharging for what poor selection of low quality hobbyist equipment they had for a decade and forced everyone to go find the cheap online alternatives.
Whats so amazing about RadioShack to me is how long they have stayed in business. For the last 10 years they have sold nothing but junk. I remember trying to use them out of desperation for a electronics project I had got on short notice. I think they sold me a tiny piece of solder for $15, a truly awful soldering iron that went straight from first use into the trash and a pair of wire cutters that I kid you not, broke on the first cut. The metal blades broke. Grossly overpriced bad tools. Thats what RadioShack has meant to me for the last decade. Never shopped there. Why would I ever buy a cellphone at RadioShack ? They should have cleaned house a long time ago.
Not so fast buddy, what Apple has today is a marketing video they aren't shipping until 2015. The moto360 is available today. So for the record google were first to market with this concept. And it was google who had NFC payments on their nexus line last year with widespread integration so lets not pretend that was an Apple innovation either.
The only new innovation I see is sending sketches to other people, on a tiny screen. What a silly gimmick. Now I can send little drawings of boobies to my friends. How soon before that gets old ? Hardly a oculus class breakthrough. Apple has lost its edge.
No - lets decide if we want to give this company more of our money before comparing features. They are absolutely using planned obsolescence and the non exchangeable batteries across their product lines and removal of dimm sockets are a clear signal. You don't own the product, or control the data you put on it. You appear to purchase but in reality - you effectively rent. Apple designs are pretty, but not made to last. And while they like to hand you the 'license' of security, the backdoors and icloud breaches and PRISM participation show that is not backed by any real substance. Jokes on the user.
