  • Powerbeats Pro or new AirPods -- Which do you buy?

    Both. Totally different devices with different advantages in different scenarios is my opinion.

  • Apple partnering with advocacy groups to foster critical thinking and news literacy

    All I care about is honest journalism. Everyone has their biases. It’s human nature, but it takes a true journalist to be honest. Unfortunately I have found that there is zero honesty in the mainstream media and only talking points and agendas handed down from the Bloomberg’s and Soros’ of the world trying to control the message which is why I’ve stopped watching altogether and I’m better for it.

  • FBI director says there may be 'solutions' to end-to-end encryption debate

    Getting so sick of the political elite trying to wrestle away rights from people to gain power and using fear mongoring, outlier cases to scare us into believing that we should go along.

    Freedom is inherently dangerous, and only the ignorant sheeple of this country actually believe that we can legislate evil away.

  • Huawei's debuts $2,600 foldable Mate X, hits new smartphone price record

    With this announcement it is important to realize that not only is Trump walking back his allegations that Huawei is a security concern, but most of Europe is now challenging his claims.   In fact, Great Britian's head of intelligence just issued an ultimatum to Trump to "Put up (the evidence) or shut up".
    You're confusing the Trump executive administration with the US intelligence community; agencies which Trump does not like.

    Did you ever see the evidence that Putin and the Russians hacked the DNC email and meddled in our election? Nope. But you accept that they did.
    Good point.   Or, it would be if it were applicable.   It is not the U.S. intelligence community who made the allegations of spying against Huawei, it was Trump.   And, not only is the rest of the world starting to question those allegations, but Trump is starting to walk them back.
    Incorrect. Six US intelligence agencies, which debriefed US senators. The same agencies Trump decries for their comments about him. There is no way Trump controls these six agencies and made them fake their conclusions.

    US Senators: “Huawei is effectively an arm of the Chinese government”

    ...so if you believed them when they said Russia helped Trump win, I want to know why you choose not to believe them now. Other than confirmation bias, of course. 
    There is single correct reason they would not tell you or the world. Using Huawei equipment will pose great difficulty for US spy agencies to install back doors. 
    And using them will pose great opportunity for China to do the same. I’ll go with the democratic republic over the totalitarian regime, thanks. 
    The US is not a “democratic republic.”  The word democracy does not appear in any of our founding documents, and our Founders only used the word democracy in a negative light. We are a Constiutional Representative Republic. Sorry to be nit picky, but it’s annoying that people refer to our government as a democracy when our Founders knew how dangerous it is and specifically set up our government to avoid it.

    At some point, real soon, lies and lying needs to be outside First Amendment protections. 
    There is. You just don’t know what the Constitution is, or what the 1st Amendment protects against. Here are two examples: libel and slander. Both forms of lying the 1A doesn’t protect against. Now try doing the rest of the research on your own.
