European advertisers critical of iOS 14 warning users about ad tracking
I couldn’t agree more. The very reasons they’re upset are the reasons I’m happy about this new feature in iOS 14. Thank you Apple for having the courage to do this.sdw2001 said:Let me be the first to say “too effing bad.” Ad tracking is pervasive and a terrible invasion of privacy. The advertisers are upset? Shocker.

Apple won't call to ask you to tell them a code you get on your iPhone
I’m very glad to know about this. Here in Europe I’ve been deluged by callers who say they’re from Microsoft and want access to my computer. It seems like an obvious scam, but a friend fell for it, gave them access, and they drained his bank account of thousands of euros.
