We know of no rigorous study showing that toughened digital marketing privacy policies produced tangible economic benefits for anyone, let alone lower-income consumers.

You do not need a study to see the numerous headlines of companies having their data breached of your personal information they did not even have permission to collect.

I suppose the significant amount of money spent on fines, repairs, lawsuits, ransomware do not count.

I could be misunderstanding your intention. Can you share it to Samsung notes and save as PDF from there?

I would not consider that theft. More a passing of the torch.

The judge said it was a monopoly but there does not seem to be any consequences at this time if ever.

Mehta’s conclusion that Google has been running an illegal monopoly sets up another legal phase to determine what sorts of changes or penalties should be imposed to reverse the damage done and restore a more competitive landscape.

The potential outcome could result in a wide-ranging order requiring Google to dismantle some of the pillars of its internet empire or prevent it from paying to ensure its search engine automatically answers queries on the iPhone and other devices. Or, the judge could conclude only modest changes are required to level the playing field.

Hardening cars is wild west right now.

The cars should not need to be hardened. That is what needs to stop, imo!!

(stiffles the bubbling hysterical laughter)

Paying for ads is a terrible idea companies have forced into the narrative, without users really caring.

I choose not to pay for ads.

I like Apple Maps at the moment because it is not currently packed with ads or suggestions.

I am fortunate enough to live in an area the directions are very accurate.

I have the 15 Pro Max after using Samsung for many years.

No one has mentioned the keyboard here.

I can type decent enough, however, having to go back and forth for numbers, letters, and symbols is frustrating at best.

The gallery app is not as easy as Samsung, imo. Instead of moving something to its own album I have everything stuck in “recents”. Hopefully, I will never forget to immediately move any photo to the proper album.

Photo editing on Samsung has more options.

iCloud wants to sync everything even when you tell it not to. I have documents hiding in there somewhere and apparently not even Apple can figure out where they are.

Spotlight search is amazing.

Adguard with Safari is not too bad. Reader mode is nicer, imo

I found the files app decent enough.

Overall a decent phone. Could it use improvement, yes. I look forward to ios18.

People have become accustomed to the corporate and government invasion of their lives little by little. This will most likely continue until it is too late.

A sad world indeed.
