In my family of 5, only 1 is Google user….we
don’t have a problem of group chats….i must be missing something here??

There’s always that crowd that chafes at the thought of Apple doing it’s own thing. That mindset demands Apple be forced into compliance and mediocrity. Green bubbles are evil because they leave Android users feeling left out and discriminated against. 

"After the removal, Apple said that it is complying with sanctions, imposed over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Developers owned or controlled by these sanctioned parties were outside of Russia, and had their developer accounts terminated by Apple because they were apparently skirting the international sanctions.”

Finally Apple shows it has a least one testicle. Russia should be treated as the international pariah it has become. And those who ignore the sanctions should expect no quarter given. Screw those developers skirting the sanctions. Putin is a repeat of Hitler. He thinks the West will give in and is weak. Hitler called the western democracies “dirty worms” who would not oppose him. Putin thinks the same. Who knows, maybe the West will give in to him. Maybe the West is weak and unwilling to fight, ready to appease. China is watching and the fate of Taiwan hangs in the balance. If Putin wins China gets a clear signal they can take Taiwan without a fight, even if Biden says we will.

I've been having the issue of getting sound alerts when I shouldn't on my Series 6 watch under iOS 16. I guess I don't need to add my 2 cents to the Apple forums. 

No, you need to wait for iOS 16.1. The Apple Forums are user-to-user, not manned by Apple support employees. Your complaint goes unnoticed by Apple and all you are left with is maybe a few “me too” responses and a couple of “try this” suggestions. As the article points out it’s best to call Apple’s support line to get their attention.

So what? Lawyers will get a few million and Meta will go on as usual. User data is their life’s blood. Without it they go belly up. Nothing is free and advertising is what we pay. Not saying it’s okay but this is just how it is. Government can do only so much without taking over the economy and we don’t want that.

I don’t see how laws preventing the massive data collection of users without their consent is “taking over the economy”.

Well, there already ARE laws and they don’t work do they.
