  • China passes the world's strictest user data protection law

    sflocal said:
    I find it ironic that the Chinese government demands strict data privacy from Chinese companies, yet turns right around and essentially breaches all of that to spy on its own citizens, not to mention the entire world.
    Precisely. The irony here is overwhelming.

  • China bans cryptocurrency from banks, payment systems

    Why would you believe the stated reason from an announcement from the Chinese government? It’s not about the “dangers” to citizens or the economy, and  It’s not about whether it’s a real currency. This is merely ground work in preparation for the single biggest socio-political maneuver in the history of China. They are clearing away crypto currencies so that there will be only one currency that will be used everywhere in China—the Digital Yuan. Benefits include the ability for the government to track every purchase from everyone (and continue its push to eliminate the USD as the world’s reserve currency).

  • Apple TV+ resumes production of UK dramas 'Suspicion' and 'Slow Horses'

    This is so fascinating. Please write more articles on all the details of the tv and film shows, especially the actors, the plots, and the production details. Because that’s what I want to hear about in the way of news from my favorite tech company ... not.

  • Hands on with the new features of Apple Watch Series 6

    It sounds like there have been good improvements on the fitness front:

    1- GPS tracks get less artificial
    smoothing and are more accurate. 

    2- HR and GPS no longer have a long delay where they miss a minute or two of data after you start your workout before they get a “lock”. I hope someone can confirm this. 

    The main question which is a deal-breaker for me: Do third part apps (like Strava, etc) get the always-on display ability or not? I don’t want to always have to lift my arm to check data on my third party exercise apps in the middle of a workout. If not, I will wait until Series 7.

  • What to expect from the Apple 'iPhone 12' launch in 2020

    I wonder if we will be able to turn off 5G in the system settings...
    So you don't get COVID? /s
    No, that’s already taken care with the new “No COVID” setting under the “Pandemic”
    option in the system settings. 

    I would like some control over the modem bandwidths though like we used to have with the 6S.
