Re:We Charity’s Donor Deception in Kenya – Finding School No.4 on Wednesday December 01, 2021 @02:34PM (#29408122)
I think this is a common business model for most international charitable organizations. Once your charity is linked to high profile donors they will help you in defending fraudulent activities because of the "good work" they do.
But keep Homeland Security?

Sounds like a great way to attack a target and destroy their life. Most people have no idea how many or what photos are on their devices.

1) Either get photos on their phone with the correct HASH, or get some photos that are already on their phone into the HASH list. 2) FBI will be quietly informed by Apple. 3) FBI shows up one day at the targets home or work. They confiscates all electronic devices and ruins that persons life.

I am sure the product people at Apple are seeing $$$

1) Scan devices for copyrighted music, to play your music you need to have it purchased on Apple 2) Scan devices for copyrighted videos, to play your video you need to have it purchased on Apple 3) Scan devices for copyrighted photos, purchase an Apple license to use this photo 4) Scan devices for copyrighted text, purchase an Apple license to use this text

Apple - Think Licensing

"Banks haven't been allowed to monetize their KYC data"?

I work for a major US Bank and they are most definitely monetizing KYC data, in fact we have made several billion dollar acquisitions just to scoop peoples data.

So it looks like a pipe bomb with a detonator

Is history going to repeat itself with government overspending and coming inflation?
Re:Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support on Monday January 11, 2021 @04:22PM (#25737302)
The platform being used for organizing potential mass murder of targeted groups. If the screenshots are correct of what I have seen then AWS had no choice. They would have been liable if something really bad happened and was made aware of this before it happened. Parler has no monitoring of this activity and that is why everyone shut them down once it was exposed.
I had to replace my pair of $250 shoes every 3 to 4 months once I started running 50KM a week. The waste factor of having to throw those shoes out every time. Seems like I went though much more rubber than the 4 tires on my car over the lifetime of the tires of around 60,000KM

My kids have access to some of the best games in their Steam library, but most of the time they prefer to discover new games on Roblox. I just hope they don't force advertising into the Roblox worlds, that would destroy the experience.

Its beautiful
The letter is about using Palo Alto Networks trademarks on their website. I think Orca should just change their review to say "Palo Crapo Networks" .... issue solved

lol , 7 billion is way too high of an estimate of people actually using their free services to store valuable information.

I would say closer to 70 million

Re:The real prices of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini on Wednesday October 14, 2020 @04:56PM (#24781505)
Apple will come out with an "enhanced" charger for $100. Then update all phones to slow charge anything that is not the "enhanced" charger. Then repeat again in 3 to 5 years.

For 15 years I bought nothing but Apple products and then kicked the habit. My bank account appreciates no longer having that addiction. Now that I have a clear head I can see the many ways they just suck more money from the Apple fans.

Projected 8 to 10 billion? , will end up being 25-billion at the low end.
The highway should be an 8 lane freeway, however it is a 4 lane death trap. Anything to get more cars off this road.
Nice to hear it can be done .... after 20 years in technology I am on the same path to get into the agriculture sector.
This is how you do a W-shaped recovery , the economic fallout of giving money away will have a secondary recession effect. Can't just print money and give it to your citizens for an extended time, otherwise all economic theory should just be tossed out the window.
Yup remember how the NDP is bankrupting your future, the economic damage to giving money away is going to bite the youngest generations in the ass in 5 to 10 years.
Unenforceable , Amazon provides so many services across the internet a judge would laugh at any non-compete lawsuit against an employee.
Google is dumbing down tech so new users don't understand the basics of the internet. Seems like a winning strategy and the culture they have built their company on.
Prime deliveries have also changed from an average of 2-3 days to most items are now 1 month.
Zero financial incentive to stop phony complaints , lots of incentive to ensure you comply with government regulations.
Private health care will try to collect on all of their costs in regards to this pandemic, if the US government allows that it will kill the economy even further. How long until the US Government nationalizes Health Care?

Future Covid world and new potential tech business opportunities

The majority of the world is currently sitting back at home and thinking things will return to normal one day. However I think society is now changed forever and things like thousands of people packed into a concert, sports game or convention are gone for many years to come. If you can imagine this is the future we are headed for what role and new opportunities will be opened up for tech...
