It was Apple that talked about doing that. I wonder if it’s now too expensive to do that and people just root their phone. The only thing weird about that, is that Apple is involved in every step, couldn’t they hide info being sent?

I see what you’re saying, but who exactly is trying to correct the injustices? We recently had a president that made it much, much worse and created new injustices. Currently, we’re just trying to bet to baseline injustices and keep our democracy.
I meant in government, there are definitely a few but they’re a minority. I like seeing you and the other poster above you calling me out, it’s nice to see.

Why is that a problem? I like it here right now, I don’t want to change anything or hope for the best. Reddit was abusive to its users, Lemmy is a great refuge from that.
The only tweet I could find in articles was something like the owner telling people the real reason why he can’t play. The article said it had since been deleted.
It’s my theory that all large media corps want to go back to owning and controlling all of the media that people see. Google especially, since they’re an advertising business at its core.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill to require human drivers on board self-driving trucks, a measure that union leaders and truck drivers said would save hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state.
TuSimple’s fleet of 40 autonomous trucks has been hauling goods between freight depots in Phoenix, Tucson, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio. These routes are about 95 percent highway, but the trucks can also autonomously handle surface streets, bringing their cargo the entire distance, from depot driveway to depot driveway. Its vehicles join a growing fleet of robotic trucks from competitors such as Aurora, Embark, Locomation, Plus.ai, and even Waymo, the Alphabet spin-off that has long focused on self-driving cars.
I’d never heard of this treatment, isn’t this alternative medicine territory? It makes me wonder how much medicine makes fun of alternative medicine while they quietly study it so they can copy it. my.clevelandclinic.org/…/17827-transcranial-magne…

We should also be able to delete apps on our devices. I have an LG TV that keeps wanting me to use Alexa, but I’m not positive it’s not doing its shitty thing anyway because I can’t delete it.
They lost all of their cloud data, that could be your hobbies, projects, etc. As he said in the article, he bought the products and paid for the services, they had no right to be judge and jury and turn it off.
Maybe? It seems like from their site that they’re more interested in saving the planet but it is bare bones. It doesn’t really make any declarations on that front.
I didn’t miss that point, I really like LG channels because it introduces me to stuff I wouldn’t normally see. I had a dumb TV up until right before the pandemic and I love the smart TV features but you really sign your life away with their cotracts. I put on live cams or videos of nature while I work directly from the TV while working on my computer. I go offline a lot when I’m working on something that needs to be copyrighted yet, so I couldn’t screencast it unless I got an old computer or something to do that. I think I have unique circumstances and I’m lazy and cheap, tbh.
I’ve kind of already signed my life away to LG and it’s 3rd party people but the next time I need a TV, I’ll definitely look at that. I’m saving this on the hopes I won’t need it for a few years. Thanks for explaining it.
Apple is a huge, rich, billionaire in cash, company, they can write their NDAs in a way that would cover them both. Is Apple Silicon out? Because I haven’t heard of it so it can’t be that groundbreaking. What does it do?
No, I haven’t, I borrowed someone else’s Apple a couple of years ago and the privacy, control they had really freaked me out. It was super complicated to turn off the cloud, I couldn’t control the settings, it was disheartening. I have to say though, their software was why I borrowed it and why I understand why people love them. They know how to make the software smooth. I believe you that their new computer feels great. They always have a quality when you use them that has an indescribable niceness to them. I just wouldn’t buy one unless I had to.
Obviously, I haven’t lol. But I’m admittedly not techy, I’m more of a software person. You’re very defensive about them, you have the tampon ear thingies, don’t you?
Because their lack of innovation is the topic of the NDA. And all of what you said, is literally (and I mean literally, literally) is gatekeeping, lol. They have not been innovative in the common user space IMO for a long time. It sounds like behind the scenes, they have been. Go team Apple.

I think some of them are bots tbh, they sure seem like bots. It’s inevitable that we’re going to see bot action but I think it’s by some people who just want lemmy to seem more active, but that’s just a theory.
Not care about the downvotes or the trolls. There are certainly trolls here, but that’s a them problem, not a you problem. You’re awesome, we all know it.
