Hands on: Whill model F motorized wheelchair with iPhone connectivity
Thanks for posting this article. Like yourselves, I am also in a position of needing a wheelchair for mobility issues. A proper review of a chair, especially in this bracket is rare and very useful. Please post a follow up with how the accessories work for you, and any insights from further use.
Looking forward to your next instalment. -
TikTok can collect users' biometric data according to its new privacy policy
I have said this before, but I’ll say it again. The CCP has a reasonable dataset of Asian faces for their biometric tracking but not for any other race. So by enabling the collection of a massive dataset of these other nationalities means they will be able to more easily track foreign nationals within their borders. It also means that if they take over another country, they can quickly implement the same social tracking system to control the population. -

US House of Representatives to recommend break up of Big Tech firms

Frankly, I hard a hard to guessing how you would "break up" Apple in any reasonable way. Is it just a matter of imposing on Apple the requirement that they support competing app stores? Is so, that's not a "break up."
Likewise, how do you break up Facebook when their main product is a single worldwide social network? Or do you just do the reasonable thing and not allow them to acquire additional social networks?
I fully expect that wiser heads will prevail and people will bring up all the other examples of feared monopolies that turned out to be temporary "winners" that were ultimately unable to prevent the rise of competitors and/or the radical evolution of their market. For example, how did that big, bad Microsoft monopoly on desktop PC OSes and core office software work out? Sure they are still the leading vendor in those spaces, but they face serious competition. How about AOL's dominant position in the ISP market?
Going by this rationale that would also mean the end of “Smart TV’s” as they have software loaded onto hardware by the same manufacturer.
