In the worst design spec in industry Apple continues to rivet their keyboards in place making it all but impossible to change them out.....for another bad keyboard. You have to literally rip the old keyboard out then remove all the old rivets, drill them out and tap a zillion new holes to accept new screws to attach the new keyboard. On the PLUS side, you'll have an easy time of it next time the keyboard fails...you might want to have a few on hand.
Yes, that's a lot of photos and I'm worried. How long before they start changing things and turn Flickr into crap? They say "no changes" - but by now we've learned not to believe such statements from tech companies. It's a wakeup call that my pix may become lost and I'd best start moving them NOW.
Mental gymnastics indeed. I have been off FB for several years. So how can FB be collecting datapoints on non-FB users? What are they doing, scraping the entire Internet? FB services covers a lot of ground....naturally the next thing for me to delete in WhatsApp as I'm sure there are some datapoints there. But what else?
Apple is being forced into a corner to provide a backdoor so this hardware hack will probably be allowed to stand. So what does this hack do? Try all possible 6 digit passcodes until it unlocks? I had heard that after "X" number of bad passcode entries that the iPhone would wipe itself, but have never found out how to set this up.
So where do we stand if we have a VPN installed on our smartphone? Am not sure how deep Prism can dig when VPN is employed. This should stop Google tracking.
Agree to above, but I had thought that today's smartphones still emit a traceable signal even when completely turned OFF. I assume this means the police can track the phone, but Facebook could not.
Yes, Firefox seem to be adept at shooting itself in the foot, but this time Mozilla will lose a very significant segment of their user base: There is a large user base who depend on the Add-On's which make Firefox so useful. The real showstopper for me is AdBlock Plus. Best we can do now is NOT update and keep checking on "Legacy" items in our Add-On's to which vendors have re-coded. Likely most will not within a decent time frame so I'll probably be jumping ship along with the other heavy Add-On users.

Of course I have backups! But all these pics are ORGANIZED on Flickr....much more than just a photo stream.

Any promoters reading the fine print are likely to tell Evenbrite to take a short walk off a long plank. What organization would agree to this?

#deleteTwitter
I couldn't agree more. It is a totally outrageous invasion of privacy. And you just know that the hashing would be cracked.
Yes billions of users. I am so glad not be one of them. #DeleteFacebook.

I'm really glad to see this.
I did! You can, too!
Sign me up! I'd post this on Twitter but I deleted that account after I deleted Facebook.

Much simpler: Don't use MoviePass. Who really needs this app, anyway?
Maybe YouTube will follow suit with videos...
On the iPhone each app asks you if you want to enable Location Services (i.e., tracking)....I **ALWAYS** say no.

I agree! Who cares? These guys need to GET A LIFE.
Common sense is not so common. Lazy people are paying the price.
Yup! No perpetual license==NO SALE.
Hacking the NHS records should turn out to be more profitable than some of the crappy ransomware going around.
We need to find out how this "weapon" works and deploy it in North Korea. FAST.

You have to be kidding. Glad I solved such dumb ass problems years ago by loosing the TV. Try it sometime--you might get your life back.
Another great place to waste your time. Hopefully it will disintegrate as it's stock is doing.
