An Amazon spokesperson told iTV News that the amount of stock that the retail giant destroys is "extremely small."

Oh, well that's alright then... I only killed one of your children.

Seriously, this fupping company. Cancel Prime. Sell your Kindle and Echo devices. Delete your account. Amazon is only as big as it is because we put it there, and we can put it somewhere else.

Thanks for that heads up. I've been planning to pick up a new model, move my original 4K to a bedroom and relegate my old Gen 3 to a guest room.

This will save me some extra money with a free year of ATV+.

Except for one little detail: If your AppleID has ever had the promotion applied, you cannot get it again, even if you buy a new ATV4K.  That is not obvious in the plan’s marketing description. But it is buried in the terms and conditions, which of course, the Apple rep I spoke with, was happy to provide a link.  Not the typical positive interaction I was expecting. 

You are correct, but the thrifty and smart user will just create a new and different (and free) AppleID for that device.

We want our constitutional rights to privacy, whether some people think we have them or not.

When Judge Robert Bork was nominated for the Supreme Court he was asked about a right to privacy. He said that there was no constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy. He didn’t say in relation to this or that issue. There was none at all, period. When questioned further on this point he doubled down on that assertion. Now Bork did not make it to the Court, but several of his law clerks and students have made it into Federal courts and I think at least one has made the high court as well. 

Yes Virginia, there IS a deliberate and coordinated war on the right to privacy.

The only question why would you want your VPN traffic to run through Apple’s relay service as they suggest, it’s just another layer of latency you have to deal with,  

I’m assuming it keeps your ISP from spying on you as well, since it has secure encryption connection between safari and the websites your visiting. The ISP should only see random data going to the Apple relay server.
