  • Apple Card to launch in first half of August

    I know I've said this before, but I'll repeat: make it contactless, Apple!

    That has become mainstream in many parts of the world, and is starting to get rolled out in a big way in the US -- e.g., Capital One, Chase, Amex etc. are now offering it.
    I always thought Apple Pay is contactless...

    That is useful article. Bravo. But can you add screen where do you see that: "From the screen that appears, choose Manage Activity"

    I can not find anything like that in my language mutation. Is it possible that options vary by country?

    yes, the screenshot flow where to click would be useful...

  • Thousands of Amazon workers are listening in on Echo audio, report says [u]

    I'm trying to decide whether I care about this or not. My bank records our telephone conversations, and those are much more detailed than an Alexa or Siri request, and are directly associated with my personal information. This seems pretty benign.

    The only real risk to me is embarrassment, but it's not likely someone I know personally is ever going to hear me saying or doing something I'd wish they hadn't. It's true that I don't want an Amazon contractor hearing my passwords or financial codes, but in the absence of a way for them to determine exactly who I am, even  that information is essentially useless to them.
    Yes, but in my country everyone who is recording the call needs to inform you and ask everytime you speak with them for your consent. Otherwise the call cannot continue

  • Apple employee assailed by U.S. Customs, ACLU complaint claims

    So, if I understood well all various articles I read - if you are a criminal and get arrested, no one can force you to unlock your device. If you are a tourist and want to visit USA, you have to unlock your device... So criminals have more rights that legal tourists/visitors... Congratulations...
