    90% people who don't even know what DNS is, and who wouldn't be able to select this security feature in the first place (since they don't understand it) do welcome the feature, unknowingly.

  5. At least Firefox says openly what they're doing. Edge and Chrome close-software do not, but who knows what happens under the hood.

    Jack connected headphones render usually better than BT.
    BT device is one more thing to charge / power.

    Tl;dr give us back the jack.

  8. I would reduce the time span to 6 years, not 20, though.

  9. You are a lucky buyer.

  10. Jobs focused on quality. Cook focuses on margin. Cannot have both.

  12. Many people remind that actually, since we have already a bunch of posts on this very topic.

  13. If these people from the study were told that the robot will behave exactly the same as when it was “alive” once it’s been powered-on back, maybe they’ll push the button with less empathy.

  18. A better promise: "Any DNA received, any user data is to be trashed / burned as soon as the tests are done and sent to the requesting party".
