“… 

the particular time frame of the hacking: most operations took place during China business hours. The hackers also used servers located in China, and the command and control PCs probed by the researchers all ran Chinese language settings.

It’s funny how many fandroids get very upset at the fact that they cannot buy Huawei devices here and scream that there is no proof about any allegations of espionage. 

Ever heard about the Red Troll Army?  They are hoards of workers behind the Wall being paid to try and sway public opinion.  It's a Communist propaganda machine that is pretty easy to spot on discussion boards 

Outside of this forum I’ve never met any one who didn’t think Siri was a pathetic joke.   More a pain to use than worth trying.   I actively try to stay away from Miss Annoyance.   Alexa on the other hand works great and was cheap.  

What is a joke is to trust a company that intentionally bypassed Safari's security settings to spy on people, and trust them so much that you would actually place their spy microphones in your house. Just say the wrong thing even as a joke and next thing you know, you could be stopped at the border by various customs officials with a hand on their gun. People putting Google and Amazon "smart speakers" in their home do not seem so to be so smart themselves.

The article misses the point of the current state of iPad all together.  Who really cares if Apple got iPad right?  The market they were going after has already been conquered, saturated, and now declining.  We are at 4 years of declining sales in this category that "Apple got right".  It's time for the iPad to branch out and target other markets such as by adding mouse support and going after new productivity markets where it is not reaching at present.

I hit Share button on Safari for this article > Notes > "Tech Tips" folder > New Note. Now I can look it up anytime in my Notes app. Safari and Notes work great together.
