<Story about Android privacy issue>

Well, you ended up maybe being right, but you understood the initial intent wrong.  Here’s a quick link I dug up that references the proposed pricing:

Except, you know, no more credits. The original draw was the potential to get the “$35k” BEV for less than $30k. They’ll never sell a car for as cheap as they sold me on when I put in my 1st week reservation (which I then canceled a year later when I saw the writing on the wall).

Tesla needs to get the fuck out of here with this pricing that includes fuel savings.  That is unless he won’t want his money until after those savings are realized.

They knew that. They had to literally dedicate like 5 paragraphs to how awful it was to have to text without iMessage. That’s the extent of how shitty your life is without Apple.

You nailed it. There’s no way it would have been nearly as jarring if she used a Pixel 3 for a couple weeks. I get the impression that the author hasn’t used an Android phone for years, if ever, and the utter lack of experience with what the platform has to offer just feeds into how important they feel Apple is to…

I think “can’t handle change” is a fair description for people who get so bent out of shape over the color of a text bubble.  Sure, iMessage is better than using SMS, but using the latter is not the world collapsing event that some act like it is.

It recently punished Facebook and Google by rendering their internal iOS apps unusable after the two companies abused special all-seeing powers to spy on iPhone users for “research,”

If you research PRISM, you’ll find out that Apple required a warrant to participate unlike every other company.

Thank you for being the only site I’ve seen that properly frames this being driven by a breach of the distribution TOS and not just going for clicks by claiming it’s about Apple protecting user privacy.

I want to see the survey numbers regarding how they’re taught financial responsibility while dating. When I was in school, the boys blew a good chunk of their money on dating while the girls spent it at the mall.  I can see a parent justifying giving their son enough money to take his girlfriend out, but another…

Nice try pulling that out of your ass just to try to win an argument by not only overlooking where Apple was also wrapped up in that but you also missed the “selling” bit that was the basis of my entire comment and not at all addressed.

if you don’t mind them knowing everything about you, packaging securing it and selling it anonymized access to whom ever.

Privacy is their product now. They’ve gone all in as that being their lone differentiator. It’s worked fine until now, but the market is moving in a direction where they won’t be able to compete in other areas as long as they cling to that.  You can’t have smart things be useful unless they know you.

They just put an EKG in a watch and have the most successful truly wireless headphone on the market.

Privacy issues are most serious when a company knowingly sells your user data (especially not anonymously) for profit.

And a lot of people like you were trying to crucify Google over the Google Plus bug that was also unintentional. Except in that case, Google proactively found the bug, closed it, disclosed it, and has no evidence it was exploited. Whereas Apple had someone trying everything to let them know about it for 9 days, after…

wait. you’re upset you get to deduct more? thats weird.

sigh

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t think you actually addressed the specific example in the title. For instance, say it is a person’s turn in the rotation to order and they are looking down at their menu. What would you use there? Is “And what would like, you?”correct?  If so, shoot me now.
