Yup. If I enable "privacy mode" in my Nissan Leaf I can't turn on the heater remotely. I requested a copy of the data they harvest. They log EVERYTHING. GPS of course, but also when I turn on the wipers, turn signal...…

Zero. Ignoring that Apple prices are already inflated beyond all reason, a larger battery would add a single digit dollar amount to the BOM.
>resilient to drops I would be content if they'd stop making phones slippier than a wet bar of soap. My Pixel 8a is ridiculous, I don't know how they do it. If you have dry hands, it's nearly impossible to hold on to.
Nobody cares if a tablet has a shit camera.
No I specifically said (quoted) "and infectious particles" and compared it to an 18th century city, which predates indoor plumbing. I guess that's too subtle for HN. In the future I will be sure to emphasise when my…
I work in the public sector in Denmark. Office 365 is the bane of my work day. I only have access to the web versions of the apps, but they feel like toys. It seems impossible to do anything even moderately complex with…
Me neither, and that's why I asked, but it apparently offended the HN commentariat.
Infectious particles? In most of USA and Canada? I don't believe you.

But the sites where I actually care if my account gets compromised - Steam, FastMail, DigitalOcean etc. - are very unlikely to screw up password storage. I'm never going to bother with paranoid security inconveniences…
Many such cases. Duckduckgo is practically unusable because it just decides for itself which of my search terms it actually searches for. I have to explicitly quote every word to get it to function like a search engine.…
Well I, for one, have wanted more AI and microphones in my Netflix device for years, and I'm glad Apple is courageous enough to deliver.
