  • Apple will try to talk its way out of a $40 billion fine on Tuesday

    So why stop at 10%? Why not 20% or 30%? Who gets to set the rules for these people for what an "appropriate" fine even looks like? I understand certain problems may exist with companies, lack of competition, etc. But at a certain point this type of fine loses its sense of legitimacy and appears more like theft than lawful punishment.

  • NHS sends alerts COVID-19 app has shut down in England and Wales

    The people who cry "why did you...?" when action IS taken to try and avoid disaster are the same ones who cry "why didn't you...?" when NO action is taken. Since it's not humanly possible to say with 100% certainty how many lives were or weren't saved due to any aspect of the way things were handled (whether that be lockdowns, vaccines, masks, contact tracing etc.) the only thing we can say for sure is we who are still here to write words on a forum have made it through. Let's just be thankful and move on.

  • Apple AirTag leads to arrest of South Carolina burglar in multi-restaurant heist

    amar99amar99
    Sort of mixed messages when it comes to Apple supporting the tracking of people against their knowledge using AirTags. It's apparently wrong, unless it's right. There should really be some clarity, like, the ability to put your AirTag into "stolen device / theft" mode or something along those lines in order to draw a clear distinction between "bad" stalking and "good" stalking (a.k.a. "tracking the bad guys").
