  • FTC proposes 'Click to Cancel' rule to simplify subscription cancellation process

    How about a similar feature for every type of subscription - such as  telcos; cable companies, etc., newspapers, magazines, etc. While they are at it how about dealing with spam calls.

  • Apple urging retail staff to wear masks again even if they're vaccinated

    It is amazing how we just keep repeating the insanity. We know that mask mandates and lockdowns don’t work. This is unequivocal. That is not to say masks don’t work at all, but the way we’re wearing them clearly will not be effective.  We aren’t talking about wearing an N 95 or better mask when entering a high risk environment like a medical facility or a nursing home. We’re talking about wearing a piece of cloth or paper across your face while you shop for your new AirPods. It’s not going to do anything.  
    Sure they do. It's asshole republicans who can't seem to follow simple rules that keep exacerbating this problem.

    I now see plenty of businesses saying that if you're vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask, but for unvaccinated people to wear them. Are unvaccinated people going to wear masks? Not the ones that I know.
    Xed has it right. There is volumes of scientific data that clearly show masks do nothing to prevent the spreading or catching a virus. Of course many will never see that sort of evidence with the news media and social media blocking access to such information. "Sure they do" is an asinine statement from someone truly uninformed. Masks are being used as a control device - not for any medical reason.

    If it's like the last time this made the news, then the new product doesn't look much like Apple's product and doesn't have any Apple branding but is somehow being accused of being "counterfeit" nevertheless.

    Apple is trying to pretend that they have an exclusive right to the concept of wireless earbuds and they're using US Customs to enforce that nonsense.  At least against small no-name companies.  They are steering clear of going after Samsung or other big players who are selling the same things.
    Your source for the claims made in the 1st paragraph? 

    Conspiracy between Apple and US Customs Service? Wow! A bold claim with no apparent facts to back it up.

  • Senator demands Tim Cook be personally accountable for any contact tracing privacy failure...

    tbstephtbsteph
    Seems like most of the existing commenters thus far are more concerned about the party affiliation of Sen Hawley than the concerns he raised.
