Apple, Google reportedly at odds with UK NHS over centralized contact tracing
Government’s (USA,UK) would really like a tracker implanted in people’s skull (exaggerating in 2020, but maybe not in 2030).
... with expansion capabilities to hearing people’s thoughts.
I remember the FBI director giving a lecture on this a few years back (reading thoughts, not the implant).
I wasn’t able to find it. But here’s something similar:https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/discriminatory-profiling/fbi-wants-schools-spy-their-students-thoughts
Apple and Google creating a freedom friendly framework, is a very good thing.

Apple's new iPhone SE doesn't have a U1 Ultra Wideband chip
So, you’re saying it has everything I need.
Looks like a winner!

TikTok videos can be spoofed or swapped with fakes on iOS, Android
Why doesn’t Apple not require all app data to be encrypted?Seems like it should be the 1st step in getting approval on the Apple App Store...
Reminds me of the other issue of iOS VPN data not being 100% secure, and Apple saying it’s not a bug.Encrypt EVERYTHING.

Apple & Google's contact tracing won't stop COVID-19, but it will help
True, there are a lot of people in denial or they just think this an old person problem. The other problem is how do you quarantine someone (or even locate them) when they’re displaying no symptoms...Flashnews said:That's great! But there is still a need to make some groups of people aware of the severity of the situation that the world is facing after COVID-19 pandemic so they help controlling the spread by quarantining themselves.The app is really a ‘better than nothing’ solution, but it’s not going to stop the spread. There’s no good solution that doesn’t violate personal freedoms.We can’t even get all the States on the same page. My worry is even after we get the situation under control in NY someone is going to start the infection all over again. What are we going to do, stop international travel? Stop travel between States?
Also, after we create a vaccine, you know the anti vaxxer crowd is going to go nuts and avoid getting it. It’s very likely no matter what we do COVID-19 is going to be with us for a very long time.

Apple engineers reportedly testing new prototype AirPower with A11 processor
Sounds like Apple is exploring a proprietary solution to wireless charging.
Is wireless charging necessary to expand the wearables market?Sure seems like it. That’s why Apple isn’t letting this go even after previous failures. It’s strategically necessary to make this work, and is probably holding up numerous other product ideas.
Good luck Apple!
