"Probably shouldn't be using a cellphone then." As far as I know its even harder to hide your location on a land line... Or maybe you are suggesting they use "snail mail"?
I suggest it is a non-issue, and a red herring. You can't avoid it.
Specifically i should have the option of NOT providing my location constantly. Any smartphone that doesnt offer root by default should be banned outright, no exceptions. See i can spout unrealistic absolutes too.
Well, good because that is exactly what AML is NOT doing.... Fantastic, you can have everything you want and still be saved from a heart attack.
Their location and identity in the event they are trying to report an incident anonymously.
Probably shouldn't be using a cellphone then. That data is always available, the question is if it is available to the emergency service right away or have to be gotten through a warrent from your provider.
Nonsense. It empowers them. Remember this only applies to systematic reversal of implied privacy, not manual. Also it is already illegal in the EU, this seems to just a UK backup law for once the leave the protection of EU privacy laws.
Chrome for instance, has four separate copies of zlib. The copy used by most Chrome code, the copy in Skia, the copy in Pdfium, the copy used by libpng, and I might be forgetting some... They solve link time problem by prepending every copy with a separate prefix.. You know, you discover you are doing something retarded, and solves it by double down and making it more retarded.
Yep. Once precedent is set, it will be used as a weapon by the other side. Often to better effect, because they have experience to go by.
Obama was the president that used the fewest executive orders in recent history. Trump is on track to break the record in most, so not following the precedent set by Obama.
Only in punishing the person illegally collecting the evidence. It is not the US, evidence is evidence, it is not ignored unless it is untrustworthy or false.
Who cares if the evidence was collected illegally, this is not the US, so facts aren't arbitrarily ignored or thrown. and even if it was the US, a company isn't the police.
Gruber has owned and I believe still owns, every generation of iPhone.
He just hasn't fallen for the placebo that you have. There really is no benefit to routinely killing background apps. It's pure ignorance of how iOS works.
Unless it is a map app, or app playing music, or app recording........ So it is a placebo for most apps, but for an important handfull of apps it is really important that you close them or they will use a LOT of power (GPS is costlyin battery).
So... You have fallen for the emperors new clothes and never realized everybody else was right.
It still is. It only makes no difference on the majority of apps, but a few apps are allowed to do things in the background and are very battery costly to not close. How are people supposed to know which apps are effectively frozen and which are hogs?
It's money that's "Not being put to work". Just rotting in a bank account.
No. The companies do invest it outside of the US because it would be dumb not to.
It's not being invested inside the US because our country's unique and bizarre tax laws would cause a big chunk of it to be taken by Uncle Sam if the companies were to try to use it here. So, our tax laws are doing a great job of encouraging investment in other countries!
But that only happens because you have politicians promising tax holidays, or lowering the tax on already earned money. If they weren't with the stupid idea all the time, there would be point in delaying repatriating the money. So this is entirely caused by corporate whores promising things that hurt the country, not just when introduced, but now...
Seriously, though: Bite the bullet and put Linux on it. Make the effort to learn how to use a Linux system properly, and you will reap benefits in privacy, security and protecting your identity that far outstrip the effort you put in.
Linux is not perfect, but it's far better than an "operating system" that reports all of your personal information and activities on the Internet just so M$ can make money off you, while still charging you a "subscription" for the privilege of being abused.
Doesn't help much with PowerVR drivers though. There are some for Linux, but they are usually commercial stuff for embedding in settop boxes.
The VPNs are now blocked by the geo-lockers such as Netflix and HBO. So that doesn't help, unless you find a particularly small and obscure VPN provider they haven't identified and blocked yet.

Prevent !!? how is that suppose to help me now...
It is too late to miscarry you at this point.
where packages are in pressure cookers for up to an hour until both bacteria and nutrients are largely gone
Until the nutrients are largely gone? Doesn't this sort of defeat the purpose of having food?
On the other hand, this explains so much about shelf-stable food...
It was a hypobole. What they meant to say, until the taste is largely gone. Or until the food is British cousine.

I suggest it is a non-issue, and a red herring. You can't avoid it.
You can't be serious. Is that sarcasm?
Nope, just reading scientific journals on the subject, and keeping up to date.
ITs called 'Lib-er-ty'

What are people trying to secure?
Their location and identity in the event they are trying to report an incident anonymously.

Another prediction that won't come true. From Vice.com no less, the bastion of academic thought. They don't troll for clicks ever.
I think we've reached peak bullshit. This will only discredit global warming further.
So far every prognosis of climate change has either come true, or the reality has been worse that prognosed...
From what I read in "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez, Facebook takes its own data and combines it with third-party data to create profiles on every user, whether logged in or browsing anonymously.
At already is, this has already been illegal in all of the EU for 20 years. This is just a UK specific version of it. So nothing really changes.
Except for the government, of course.
Nope, except for manual cases. Which means it can be done with warrent.
Nonsense. It empowers them. Remember this only applies to systematic reversal of implied privacy, not manual. Also it is already illegal in the EU, this seems to just a UK backup law for once the leave the protection of EU privacy laws.
Yes indirectly. You are addicted to money. It is a very powerful addiction encouraged by reality
Because the goal of the justice system is supposed to be justice, not vengeance.
Yeah, but it could be argued that the US justice system is more of vengeance system.
It is much, much, much worse than that.

This is the future: Utter crap!!
Because average humans aren't stupid, they just typicaly act stupid because that is how they have been trained to act.
Combining two images to achieve a specific effect IS synthesising that effect.
Yep. Once precedent is set, it will be used as a weapon by the other side. Often to better effect, because they have experience to go by.

Doesn't help much with PowerVR drivers though. There are some for Linux, but they are usually commercial stuff for embedding in settop boxes.
I can see video cards that need drivers, but what support does a CPU need to keep functioning with newer versions of Windows?
The integrated video card.
Seriously. That is the issue, these are using integrated PowerVR graphics, which always have had ass sucking drivers.
