  • Touch controllers on iPhone 6, 6 Plus failing in specific way for some users

    spacekidspacekid
    I had a perhaps similar problem with my 6plus where the touch would stop working every now and then until I put it to sleep and woke it up. When I took it to the genius bar (still under Apple Care) it didn't do it when the guy was there but he pushed/squeezed the upper right corner and it did it. He obviously had seen that problem before and replaced the phone without any problem.

    Why would anyone want to support a, let's just call them, less than inclusive company? Just sayin'.
    Agreed. Not interested in supporting them and Apple has gone out of its way to support LGBT. 
    So can you provide an example of who the company has not been inclusive to? Or are you just intolerant of anyone that has a different opinion than you?

  • Why Alphabet's Nest doesn't (and probably won't ever) support Apple's HomeKit

    spacekidspacekid
    My impression is that Homekit forces good quality encryption and protection. If the Nest and other Internet of Things don't have something equivalent, they should switch to the Homekit protocol. That's all we need is hackers getting into our IOT devices and listening and watching us at home.

  • Brazilian judge orders indefinite block of WhatsApp, affecting millions of users

    I thought the previous 2 were overruled by another judge. Why won't that happen here?

    You know, I've actually come around on a lot of issues, and I do support gay marriage and other lgbt rights, but I don't know about this whole bathroom business.

    I mean, what's to stop some pervert from just declaring that they're transgender all of a sudden, and then the pervert can just go on a city-wide tour of women's restrooms, and changing rooms and other places that are only for females?

    What do females have to say about this? They're the ones that will have to be subjected to the intruder in their bathroom.

    Would a parent want their underaged daughter to be using the same restrooms that a big hairy male uses?

    I'm just saying.
    I think it unlikely that perverts will dress up as the other sex to get access to bathrooms. They can do that anytime anyway. Also, I have never heard of a fake transgender person committing a rape, or another obscene act in a bathroom, though it probably has happened at some point, somewhere or other. I have two teenage girls and The prospect of a trans woman using the washroom does not worry me in the slightest. If I had a son that was transgender and he was forced to use men's bathrooms however, I would fear for his life. I really believe that people need to learn a little about what it means to be transgender before passing judgement. If I go to the bathroom and some guy goes and uses a stall to take a leak, I couldn't care less. If that guy has female gentalia it really is none of my business. If a woman stood next to me and hitched up her skirt I'd cast a sideways look, for sure, but I'd probably wonder why she didn't use the ladies'. 
    One reason perhaps for not hearing about it is it hasn't been pushed as a "law" until recently. With these new "rights", the perverts don't need to dress up.
    What's next, outlawing urinals?
