Tik tok is basically heavily invasive spyware on behalf of China. 

It literally crawls your entire device and sends the data back home. 

Yikes. 

Good that it is either banned or sold to someone who must comply with consumer protections. 

And I should care why? Chinese, American, all of you are spying.

Basically it works like this: Civilian Americans care about Americans being spied on by adversarial nations - the same nations that force American companies to hand over all data traffic to said governments in order to enable censure and spying on not only its own citizens, but those they communicate with.

EU is a dictatorship, plain and simple. At this point Apple needs to seriously tell the EU to GTH. The US needs to triple import duties on EU goods effectively shutting the EU down. The US should also reduce exports to the EU and cut off any financial support. 

Weird how the EU dictatorship has so many elections.  

Calling the EU a dictatorship seems way overblown, but still, when did the European public get to vote for the EU Council president?  European Commission president?  How about the European parliament president?  That's right, there aren't public elections for those positions.

So?  The Commission President and the Parliament President are elected by the Parliament, who are elected by the public.  The Council President is elected by the heads of state of all the members, who have also been elected by the public.

That's representative democracy, even if it's not direct democracy.

So… the pc destroyed her “paper?” Or was it a document? As in Word doc?

because then the PC really didn’t destroy her “paper.” She just forgot to save her work. 

Must have been the Benadryl?

This seems less like a failure on the part of Find My, since the AirPods were found in the yard of the house where Find My said they were, and more a failure on the part of police procedure. 

Ferguson, Missouri. The police in that town don't exactly have the best reputation for controlled reactions.

I’m just here to refute the entire premise. No, you shall not use a Vision Pro in public. It is somehow both invasive and oblivious at the same time. You have a choice. Don’t.
