Instagram will evolve into a TikTok-like service, with push into video content
Hey! Look over there instead!waveparticle said:
Who tracked this Duke U. postdoc?gatorguy said:
You don't have to believe it for it to be true.waveparticle said:
WSJ article has little credibility to me. I don't believe playing TikTok video on Line will get tracked.gatorguy said:
Yeah, about TikTok and privacy: https://www.wsj.com/articles/tiktok-tracked-users-who-watched-gay-content-prompting-employee-complaints-5966a5f5waveparticle said:
My friends share TikTok video to my Line group. It is very convenient than IG or FB.michelb76 said:
For many people Tiktok = China. Also networks effects. If your people are on IG and FB, you're not going to switch.kmarei said:If Instagram wants to be more like tiktok
why wouldn't I just go to TikTok?
Why would I want an imitation?
You should be concerned whether any of your friends and acquaintances had their names with contact info added to one of their secret tracking lists.

In this one Bytedance admits to certain users being closely monitored, and their actions and locations tracked, but blames it on rogue employees.
Anyway, getting things back on track I hate seeing what was once a decent Instagram service turning into a US version of TikTok, with more mindless content.

Periscope lens camera rumored to be limited to iPhone 15 Pro Max
Because an iPad Pro has lots of other parts, some of them expensive, and a camera is not a major selling point of an iPad?mariowinco said:What I still do not understand is why an iPad Pro costing north of 1k usd/eur etc cannot have “the best camera available”.

iPhone will catch a sales block in EU countries if Apple limits USB-C
No they aren't. The regulations do not say anything like that.mfryd said:
They are telling Apple that they can't use something better than USB-C for wired charging.ArianneFeldry said:
How exactly is telling Apple to get with the times and use a modern port that allows for a 40Gbps standard stifling innovation? Was Apple stifling innovation when they moved to only USB-C on the Mac? How about with the iPad? Or was Apple being innovative when they did nothing with Lightning to improve speeds? Oh, an adapter allowed for USB 3.0 speeds on one iPad. How innovative!macxpress said:The EU might as well just be Apple's new design/engineering team. They're doing a great job at stifling innovation by mandating ports and speeds....let's not stop there! What's next, Apple has to make every new iPhone with a minimum 50MP camera? Or, perhaps they will mandate that all new iPhones must be able to run both Android and iOS?
Why are you mad that the EU is telling Apple that they cannot sell you a device limited to 480Mbps when transferring data?

It's amazing how angry internet people will get about a rumour of a letter sent to Apple that may be about the EU possibly taking some unspecified action against Apple if Apple ever do something that they're rumoured to maybe be thinking about possibly doing when they do the other thing that they also have not confirmed that they're doing.
Anyone calling the EU crazy about this glimmer of a possibility should probably have a think about easily they're being triggered.
