If you run into trouble with HomeKit issues (such as inability to add shared home users), I recall that Apple used to send affected users a special profile to instal  on your phone with which you could totally erase any HomeKit settings. It should be enough to google “reset HomeKit profile”. Obviously, you will need to start from scratch, but it seems this resolved issues in manny cases that otherwise could not be resolved.

I would see this more in the context of Tencent, practically owning Epic. Apart from owning WeChat, Tencent is the world’s biggest owner of gaming studios. They basically own gaming on a global level. And with such ethics, this looks very “promising” regarding manipulation and exploitation of our younger generation. They fact that Sweeney apparently is not opposing at all to this, in my eyes speaks volumes about the guy’s character and values.

Not only the apps are what they are. They buy loyal fans. These have to sign a contract in which they declare to create regularly exclusively positive posts on social media, at the same time report any negative comments, or posts. In return, they receive free plane ticket, accommodation and some game tickets.

Not only did. Quasar spend roughly 200bn EUR for building7 new stadiums, and renovating one more, built numerous roads and metro lines, all on the back of thousands of disposable workers from abroad. They almost brought the FIFA down bc it could be proven that they bought nearly every vote. And while on shopping tour, they bought PSG, and forever changed the transfer market by being the first to easily pay > 200mEUR for a player. Just because Quatrain is run by one family, that likes to compete with another family from UAE owning, I think Manchester, it is. A country that before detecting world’s largest gas reservoir was poor like a church mouse now plays big league.

Btw, they also spend millions and millions to the Gaza Strip, interestingly, they routed the money until recently officially through Israel.

It is also the only country maintaining an official Taliban office outside of Afghanistan.

I know, source, or it didn’t happen. My sources are all in German; I expect it should be easy to google some articles on the country.

@Madbum censorship is the way all of authoritarians.  'Disinformation' is just the latest rhetorical trick to make it look like the censors are the 'good guys'. Glad to see you and others are not fooled.  Free speech is a central American value, always has been, always will be.  

You make it sound like there is no border to what free speech encompasses. Is there a „limit“ to what counts as free speech? What about slander? What about personal insulations, or threatening? Request to conduct something illegal? What about values, such as respect and responsibility - aren‘t these things that are a prerequisite for free speech as a value? 

I updated now from my AW4 that always had served me well to a 7 in mint condition. For the price of the 8 GPS in steel I got the titanium LTE with the steel link bracelet. Super happy so far. The most difficult decision was which  color of titanium to choose.
