Apple, Google in a 'standoff' with Germany and France over contact tracing privacy

Weird that on one hand EU has always pushed for stringent PDPA laws to protect privacy yet now contradict themselves to allow centralised storage of data without users’ permission.
The EU will undoubtedly use such centralised tracking resources to undermine and counter anti-EU political organisations in member states. Today's technology gives it the kind of survellience powers the KGB could only dream of.
Thank goodness democracy prevailed in the UK and we managed to leave. -

Zero chance of the U.K. ever becoming a police state, fascist, or communist. Brits have a healthy dislike of all extremists. -
Mac shipments down 21% year-on-year in global PC market shrink
This is no surprise.All manufacturers would have seen a huge slump in sales due to the lockdown. The reason why the PC makers got off lighter is that corporates went on a crazy buying spree ahead of the lockdowns to try try and equip workers so they could work from home.That certainly happened at my company.
Sadly most companies are still locked-in to Windoze... -
