    I just sent an email to every third-party app on my MacOS... 

    "Are you guys collecting my data and selling it to FaceBook, etc?

    Thx. :)

    Chris

    Next, I'll send it to every App on my iPhone/iPad.

    P.S. I'd really recommend everyone read the article in Saturday's WSJ! 

    P.S.S. Just turn off in Settings, "Share Analytics with Apple and iCloud services." Already had, "Share Analytics with App developers" turned off! :)

    I am soooooo sick of Data Miners .....Google and Facebook...they disgust me and should everyone else for their deplorable behavior . Data mining 13 yr olds for crying out loud...!!!!
    If I get free Apps and services I am fine with it.

    The problem is, you don't know exactly how much data is being mined and what happens to the data afterwards.
    Hmmm...

    1. 'Harvested' (5 septillion bytes, per day on everyone),

    2. 'Distilled/refined'

    and, 

    3. 'Sold.'

    4. 90% of all data harvested, has been harvested in the last two years.

    5. The first three companies to acquire 1 billion users were Google, Facebook and Yahoo. Companies whose business model is to harvest personal data and the data of all your friends and sell it!

  • Apple to simplify Safari AutoFill with Touch ID support in macOS 10.14.4

    christopher126christopher126
    Currently sporting a 2017 rose gold MacBook. It is one Apple's most beautiful, elegant designs.

    Bought it mainly for the weight factor. (Mobile devices should be thin, small and light.) 

    Would love to have TouchID on it. But will have to wait for the next iteration. Along with smaller bezels, larger trackpad, etc. 

    Since I wear an AppleWatch, I've tried setting it up to open my MacBook. But sometimes it's seems a bit slow. I should try it again to see if it's better.

    Alas, this will probably be the last MacOS device I will ever buy. I'll be going all in with iOS, should anything happen to my MacBook! :)

  • Latest iOS beta hints at 'AirPods 2' with 'Hey Siri' setup screen

    I love my AirPods...I use them all the time with my iPhone.

    On my MacBook I have a little app (ToothFairy-just excellent!) in my menu bar that I click and they connect/disconnect very neatly, every time. I do sometimes have a problem with my SE...I wish there was a button to connect. I mostly have to go into the Bluetooth settings.

    On the Apple TV I have to go into the Settings app also. Too many steps. I use them to listen to the TV when my GF goes to bed so I don't disturb her!

  • Apple's AirPower again rumored to launch in 2019

    It's a little thing, but once you've tried just laying your devices down at night to charge, you'll never want to go back to fiddling with cables!

    Best.
