I agree. I want my iPhone to last all day. My iPhone IS affected by the update -- it slows down and takes a while to "wake up" during the day BUT I want my iPhone to last ALL day. So this update has been a Welcomed Blessing!
I thank Apple for the update! It would have been nice to have notified of the update and it will be nice to have a choice BUT the power management update is a tweak that I definitely appreciate! GO APPLE!
Or it could mean that 3673 other women who did use the app Did Not get pregnant and that information didn't get to the hospital.
Note to Swedes: Take Personal Responsibility For The Things That You Do!
I have an iPhone that was "throttled". I noticed that the charge would last nearly as long as when it was new. After an update it went back to the time-between-charges as when it was new. I was happy about that. (I hate plugging my iPhone "in" while in my car, etc.) It was slower, the screen would dim, it would "slumber" and take a bit to wake up. But what I considered most important -- making it through my day's activities on one charge -- was the way it was acting. I'm glad Apple installed this change. I appreciate the change. The only fault that I see is that Apple didn't tell us. The fact that they made the change benefited me. I really don't care that they didn't tell me; it just would have been nice.
It is bovine scat that Congress-critters are wasting time about this. There really are more important issues than a stinking smartphone charge IMHO.
How can Intel replace all these effected CPUs when there is not a replacement? It seems that the/. and other communities have gone stark raving mad. There is no hardware fix. Life is a dangerous adventure. It doesn't matter what "Mother" tells you -- you live in an unsafe world and an unsafe computing environment. The best attempts by any person and even by Intel will always fall short in providing a truly "Safe" world or computing environment will Never happen. Even the courts and legislatures can't change this. As the Eagles sang, "Get over it!" And get on with a real & authentic life -- take responsibility for your own happiness, etc.
Surprisingly, those who say they believe in Evolution are scared, upset and distraught when an occurrence easily associated with Evolution happens. Creationists, on the other hand, let the weather/climate do what it will without much of a hubbub. (Just my humble observation.)
So Evolutionists, belly up to the bar and have a full-sized drink of what you believe. It tastes good! (And quit whinning!)
Left Wing. Authoritarians are right wing. Authoritarian heads of state are dictators and despots. Inherently Left wing. They are the failures of the right wing not the manifestation of it. Thus it has ever been.
There, fixed it for you.
Ultra-Left is Totalitarians
Ultra-Right are Anarchists
Where did you go to school? Or, what encyclopedias do you read?
I don't read newspapers or watch network news. A radio newstalk host said once that there are only 3 (political) news stories. I stopped listening to the media for six months and found, after a quick review, that there really are only 3 stories when I listened again. I stopped listening for 99% of the stories. That saves a lot of time when one doesn't have to listen to all the individual stories. I don't watch USA network television. Streaming lets me watch what I want to watch and without commercials. In IT, the ideas are constantly repackaged. Same ideas just new wrappers -- it's either centralized or distributed: mainframes or workstations, client/server, cloud computing. This happens with other IT services and other industries. Lots and lots of back and forth between a limited number of options. The biggest help is growing older. Young people like drama and management uses drama to corral their younger work forces.
I knew that I would retire the year before I actually retired.
The normal notice for a person in my position was 2 weeks.
I intended to give a 2-4 week notice.
The company started layoffs during the year that I planned to retire and "my" department was affected.
I gave notice that was 2 months in advance in hopes that another employee would be spared the layoff.
My supervisor liked me and didn't take any actions against. I liked my co-workers and didn't want to hose them. The company as a whole treated me well. For me, it worked out.
YMMV!
Look at the costs of organ donation. Since the organ donor is still alive during organ harvesting, the medical charges go to the organ donor. Great and honorable thing to do: give someone a needed organ and leave your family/estate with the responsibility of paying for the harvesting. The donor is dead and the family is left with tens of $K debt. That's just one thing wrong with organ donation. (As a organ donor, I hate that.)
Yes, the LEOs can get a legal right to access my phone under certain and specific circumstances. But even in those circumstances I cannot be compelled to surrender my PIN cod. But I can be compelled to surrender my finger and my face to unlock my phone. It isn't about stopping LEOs from accessing my phone but making sure that LEOs do so legally. If LEOs access my phone illegally -- well the average USA citizen isn't protected by anyone except themselves and that's a different discussion.
Point Taken. I guess I watch too many LE shows where the LEOs care about catching the preps AND I know too many LEOs to think the slackers are more than a minority.
Of course, a mega-business such as Facebook can be trusted to self-regulate. That's just common sense. Why look at the sterling examples of self-regulating mega-businesses that provide a 100% consumer friendly and beneficial experience: Exxon, Monsanto, Microsoft, Philip-Morris, BP, EpiPen, VW, Ford, General Motors, et al. For sterling examples within the USA Federal Government, just look at the wonderful self-governing agencies and bureaus: IRS, NSA, FBI, DOJ, DOS, DOD, Congress (the best example of enlightened self-regulation), FCC, the Judicial System, et al. We have lots of examples to assure every user and citizen that Facebook is eminently able to provide self-regulation that will suit and benefit the Public 100%/sarc
I continue to use the good old pin number.
Skipped Touch ID -- since the LEOs, by court decree, can force me to swipe my finger. The above posters is Not immune from a LEO forcing his finger across the fingerprint reader. That's a flaw in his "security" plan.
I will skip the Face ID feature for the same reason -- the LEOs can force you to look at your phone, legally.
Apple increased the pin number from 4 to 6 digits which increased security greatly.
New gadgets work well but not so well with LEOs.
LEO: You won't mind me searching your phone/camera/computer/car/house since you have nothing to hide, will you?
ME: That's the very reason. Since I have nothing to hide and since I'm not involved, you are wasting precious LE time by search my car/house/computer/phone/camera when you could actually be working on profitable tasks.
Property tax
Business part of Social Security tax
Tax on consumable items
Tax on utilities
Tax on capital items
Tax on stock transfers and sales
Tax on retirement accounts
Tax on taxes
Lots of taxes once you understand the American Syatem.
Most Taxes in the USA are hidden taxes.
This is a tactic used on young people from my experience. I told them that I would manage my own bathroom breaks and get my job completed.
Maybe the supervisors were scared the young people would go to the bathroom during a peak time of the shift, or maybe trying to teach the young people to better manage their bodies, or maybe something else.
I told them that it wasn't legal and went to the bathroom when it was needed and convenient.
Young people fall for all kinds of bovine scat. After years of experience, when young people are no longer young people, they get the "rules of the games" and know how to work.
I never hear of these so-called "Trump rants". I don't watch CNN or any TV news outlets. (All the stories are virtually the same. It's just the characters, the places, or the causes/issues that are different. That's all. I ignored the Media for 6 months once, on purpose, and then listened again. Every story was the same just different characters, places, and clauses/issues. Just the same bovine scat. Like in the "Casablanca" film, at the end, when the Vichy French officer instructs his junior police officers to round up the "usual suspects". American Politics is exactly the same -- just a drama to keep the uninformed from living their lives. These sycophants want all the attention focused on theirselves but they don't desire it. But you have fallen into the Trap!)
Twitter is probably considered a "Public" means of communications (or a public utility). Just like the telephone -- Telecomms can't drop access just because they don't like people or what the people stand for or say.
The Federal Government has state many, many times that a business can't discriminate based on laws that are not part of the USA Constitution. Such as, Real Estate Agents/Realtors, Hotels and other Accommodations, "public" convenance, Medical businesses (doctors, hospitals, clinics), Bakeries, etc., etc.
It is not a stretch of any sort to expect that USA Constitutional rights would apply to Twitter -- especially when it affects Political Speech! Political Speech is the most protected type of speech that there is under the USA Constitution.
The US Supreme Courts has spent decades (and centuries) defining "free speech" and the other parts of the First Amendment. You don't get to redefine what they say. You do get your own options. But it's only your opinion.
Really? CCTV" This is the USA; it's not Britain. (1) There are very few CCTV cameras in the USA. 92) The treasure trove of data/information in citizen's videos would astound you. Videos show all kinds of people -- some innocent and some not -- all the innocents are now in the Police record. (3) Citizen's can video a lot more than the Police. A citizen handing over a video will be giving the LEOs information that they do not have a legal right to have, to view, to use. Camel's nose and all of that.
My perception is that Consumer Reports is dedicated to #1, their own policies and #2, their own Political Positions. Their dedication to "science and the truth" changed over 20 years ago (that I am aware of). They began letting the Policies and Politics determine, at least in part, their ratings. Now, CR appears to be big into "pre-reviews". This is not the first case of CR making pronouncements on products that they haven't reviewed and at least one product that hasn't been released. Quite a change from the 1980's when I was a subscriber to or a Member of" Consumer Reports. CR is a money making business. Remember that CR has to make payrolls, pay insurance and investments, fund retirement plans, buy properly and facilities, give training, throw parties, and, horror of horrors, bankroll their Executives! They stopped serving the Public decades ago, from my experience and knowledge.
Oh the other hand, a person meeting your description stands a chance of being noticed by the Darwin Awards. And, why is the stupidity of others my concern? They are not children and do not need parental control -- they are adults. Let the consequences of their actions teach them appropriate behavior.
The last paragraph reads, in part, "For rockets the concern is less serious as they generally are not built for a long lifespan..." So fraud doesn't count for you? Who wants to find that the manufacturer delivered Less than what was Ordered and Paid for? This is illegal in the USA. What an idiotic statement by the article poster!
Yes, all they are saying is bogus. Their reliability ratings are based on surveys of their members. They use reported Historical data. This is shown, the last I looked, by having no data listed the first and second year of a model and by blanks when not enough people respond to their surveys. So, I assume that CR has some type of Policy or Political Position that Telsa falls outside of and that their Policies and Positions cause such BS.

And that is exactly what is done. The organ donor is kept alive until AFTER the organs are harvested; then the donor dies.
