GM ditching CarPlay & Android Auto for Google-built infotainment system
The subscription money grab crosses all GM off my list. The fact that they want to collect data with a google on board is another big no! Google will have access to all that data, likely offering to help analyze it for GM, blah blah blah. Then they will poorly anonymize it so that third party data brokers can sell the data in a fashion that makes it easier to identify the user. This is a repeating issue. I have no intentions of allowing 2 parasites to attach to me. -
Meta & Google shouldn't be allowed to bully their way out of paying for news
I hope Google and Meta get torched here. They, by manipulating things so reliable news sources don't come up as often, have pushed more disinformation from junk sources to show up in peoples' search results and fb feeds. Horrible way to try to save money, by making it harder to get reliable news sources. They are bullying and deserve to pay a high price and be forced to change their ways. -
Japan moves closer to requiring third-party app stores
How is it that all these bureaucrats are overlooking how much of a security risk all these new regulations will create? If I was Apple I would offer 2 versions, IOS Secure, and IOS. Then report how many viruses, malware, and cybercrimes happen to each version. I do not want alternative app stores or to have to give my payment info to a third party. -
