Senators Elizabeth Warren & Sherrod Brown push for Apple Card probe by CFPB
Supposedly there is a stat that charges more interest for some females than males, and Congress gets involved because that's discriminatory. Meanwhile since the invention of auto insurance 16 year old boys are charged more than 16 year old girls because stats show there is a reason...and that's acceptable.
Just gonna grab my popcorn and watch this one unfold. -
Facebook fixes issue that activated iPhone's camera without user knowledge
fastasleep said:ivanh said:It’s not about FB, it’s Apple.
When iOS is incapable of stopping these kind of loophole, how can we be feeling safe using all other apps?
My only suggestion to Apple would be to add some kind of indicator that either camera is active, like a little dot similar to what you see when your Mac's camera is active. -
Apple Watch Series 5 -- Review, one month later
Lab4Us said:@Airnerd. Wondering if something isn’t wrong with your watch(es). I have a 44mm 5 LTE version. Put it on when I get up, usually around 5am. Throughout the day, I walk one dog 3 miles, one dog 2 miles, and bike anywhere from 3-11 miles. For each of those, I have music streaming from the watch (don’t carry my phone) and either outdoor walk or outdoor cycling workout app running. That’s 45 minutes first walk, 30 minutes second walk, and 15-55 minutes third walk. Throughout the day I stream music when taking dogs out for bathroom breaks or additional running in yard (50 and 60 pound working dogs with LOTS of energy). I almost always have 10% or more battery when going to bed around 9 pm. Never has the battery been below 5%. I have noticed sometimes my charge is only somewhere in the mid 80s or mid 90s when I grab watch off charger in the morning, but my charger sits on dog crate that dog gets in and out of occasionally at night. Not sure if he’s knocking it loose or the battery stops charging it intentionally like the iPhone does. I went from Watch 3 to Watch 5 as well, but I haven’t seen any battery degradation. I do close out the background apps on the watch at least once a day. Thus is all on 6.0.1, but has been the same since new. -
