This may be true for current seasons but previous seasons and finished series are often available on other services. At least crunchyroll and Netflix have an overlap (in Sweden). Frieren is available on both as an example.
Youre correct about stream, my bad but I feel you’re extremely uncharitable with your words. “There’s even a post on reddit […]” was what I wrote to note that people had picked up on the feature toggle during the beta which is also where the 18.1 info came from.
How would you have liked to have received information about this feature? We might disagree wether the technical blog post is not good enough and, let’s face it, no one probably read the legal notice for Photos & privacy.
I mean, that it’s a “surprise” and that he is upset he only found out about the features existence only two days before New Years seem a bit, well nonsense. Apple mentioned the feature in the 2024 iPhone event, including that it will be a combination of both onboard ml and services (it’s at about 55 minutes in the stream). Then there’s the blog post that describes the privacy features fairly detailed from October 24 (Combining Machine Learning and Homomorphic Encryption in the Apple Ecosystem). I think the feature went live in iOS 18.1 which was released three days later on october 28 according to google. There’s even a post on Reddit from five months ago noting the toggle appearing in the beta.
There is a debate that could be had about opt in vs opt out if services but the idea that apple tried to sneak the feature in or hid how it works doesn’t hold up in my opinion.
When the Ukraine war started, there were drone sightings reported near the airport and some energy installations in Stockholm, Sweden. Then there suddenly were tons of sightings, everyone was talking about possible Russian drone operations. Many are still unexplained but a whole bunch turned out to be other things, birds, ambulance aircrafts. I think the consensus now is that there was just a few, non state, drone flights and the rest were just mass hysteria.
The possibility of working remotely has not had any tangible impact on whether the authorities' activities are conducted efficiently - neither positive nor negative. At least not in the short term, the National Audit Office's review shows.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, many government agencies today offer their employees the opportunity to work remotely. In 2023, approximately 60 percent of government employees worked at home at least one day a week.
The National Audit Office has examined whether the possibility for employees to work remotely contributes to the authorities' operations being conducted efficiently. The overall assessment is that this opportunity had no tangible impact - neither positive nor negative.
However, the review highlights a number of consequences that the authorities need to pay attention to and deal with.
For example, remote work has led to several positive consequences for the work environment. Employees appreciate the improved balance between private and work life and the possibility of flexibility that telecommuting contributes to.
The changeover has also contributed to developing the authorities' digital working methods, which saves time and resources. Remote work has also provided better conditions for recruiting and retaining staff, for example by recruiting from a larger geographical area.
At the same time, remote work has had certain negative consequences. The biggest concerns that several social aspects have been negatively affected, for example collaboration, collegial learning and the sense of community. Remote work has also led to challenges for managers to lead their employees and to recognize their need for support.
