    How about Apple gives the gift of not auto playing random shit that I never listen to every time my iPhone automatically synchs with my car in the morning?? 

    Can someone start a go fund me so we can hire some people to help support Apple in its difficulty managing the basic functions of its services?
    Yes 1000 times. Very annoying.

    Apple could also monetize API usage.

    Funny the FBI feels they have legal rights to my private conversations with people. If they have legal rights I should have legal rights to access their conversations since I’m a taxpayer. 

    Yea, not in my lifetime. 
    It's called a search warrant, and yes, it means they have the legal right to access what's included in the warrant. The constitution guarantees certain rights but none of those rights are absolute. That's how every society works.
    Very true - I think the concern is their ability to use a back door without observing due process.  The FBI has a checkered past in this regard as does Law Enforcement in general.  Additionally there is the question of how secure any “general access” back door could ever be.  Too many hackers are far too talented for such a thing to remain secure.
    This isn’t about surveillance using back door access. This is about access to content by asking (search warrant) to unlock the front door to see what is inside. 

    The FOIA only confirms what many thought about government access to chat app content.

  • AirPods, Beats Fit Pro battery swaps nearly impossible, iFixit teardown finds

    So just like every rechargeable Lithium Ion hearing aid on the market today. Does anyone expect rechargeable earpieces to have a user replaceable battery?

    Light bulb sold separately… Batteries not included… These will also prevent you from using the device you just bought. Should every company be sued selling a non-functioning product. 

    Yes, if they sold a non-functioning product they should be sued.  If all pieces to make something work aren't included, it should be sold as parts, not pretending to be a complete product.

    And maybe your experience is different, but everything I've bought in the last several years has had batteries included, and most lights include a bulb now.
    Bought a couple table lamps just this past week “Requires a 100-Watt bulb or LED equivalent bulb” on the boxes.
    A month ago I bought a flashlight. Not all flashlights included batteries.
    Gas grills don’t come with propane. Charcoal ones don’t come with charcoal, or a lighter, or lighter fluid. 

    There are many products that the consumer may need to purchase something else to get the full benefit of the product. As long as the company advised the consumer I don’t see a problem with it. Bulb, battery, gas, charcoal, charger.
